We have had a R177 for a few years now. I am having an issue with the outside lights (1 by the door and the other up front over the hitch) and the fan in the bathroom. None of these items are working. The fan has a fuse right by the power knob. I replaced that as it was blown. It still does not work and the 2 outside lights. Any ideas?

Welcome.  Next thing to check is the 12 volt fuses in the converter.  Open the front of the converter and you'll see them.

Thank you and I will check that. They are on the same fuse?

Not 100% sure if they are on the same circuit, but it's not uncommon to put several devices on a single circuit. What concerns me is...why did the fuses blow? This may point to a bigger problem, like maybe a short. If the fuses blow again it very probable you have a short in the 12v wiring.

Edit: or maybe a short in one of the devises.
