I have the Bostrom wide ride with Serta memory foam. We just put them in this year and only have a little over 3000 miles in them but like them very much

I know it's been a while but here is an uneventful update. Both I and a tech have traced the wiring from battery to board, board to fridge and back and everything seems to have 12 volts running to it. I can bypass the board and the fridge will run. Just changed out the board and no luck, brow board still not showing any power or control. I guess I'll take to another shop and see what they can find. This is very frustrating because there has been no problems to this point. It still acts like a switch or a fuse is off or blown or a wire has come loose as there is nothing, no light in the fridge, nothing. Just likes its unplugged. If anyone else has any ideas before I move to another shop I would appreciate it. Thanks, Tom.

Chad I just replaced pretty much the whole hvac box in my truck. I had it done due to work schedule. All of my blend doors were broke as well as some other stuff. Parts were not cheap but easy to get. It still is not working exactly as it should on our last trip but think I got that sorted out now. The shop had all the diagrams and such downloaded and in the truck when I picked it up. Let me see if I still have them and if I do I'll send to you.

Looking good. I like how you filled in the space between cab and wheel with boxes.

Still no update. Ran complete trouble shoot per the repair manual. Everything seems to check out. Right now I have bypassed the control board and fridge is working on 110 but obviously I have no control. Right now just trying to save food till someone can figure it out. I had a tech look at it today. He is scratching his head as well. He thinks he has a spare board we are going to swap out and try.

Thanks Kirk. I went to the website you suggested and downloaded the manual. I tested everything from the battery to the fridge. Everything checked out per the test so I know I am missing something and I'm sure it's simple. The only thing I can't test for sure is the led readout that the switch plugs in to. I see no where where that would shut down the fridge though. Right now we will throw in a block of ice and sleep for the night. Maybe tomorrow after some more driving my head will clear and I will think of something I missed.

So I have traced the 12v through the whole system now. Battery to terminal to 12v in lower control board through fuse to 12v out lower control board to eye brow board. There is consistent reading through the whole system. I checked continuity between solder joints on all switches on control board. No luck. Still no life in fridge. I do not see a fridge fuse in main panel, just on fridge. I unplugged from ac power to do all the testing. Battery is showing 11.8 volts resting which is what the reading is every where. Would 11.8 be low enough to cause issues?

Thx for all the replies. I will check for 12 volt across the fuse. All lights and other function of the RV worked on battery power. I will check battery and fuse location for power across fuse.

I found 3 fuses on the back of the fridge. There were 2 blade style fuses and one automotive style glass fuse. Two of the three were under the circuit board cover. All fuses tested good visually and for continuity.

Went out tonight to start the fridge so I can pack and leave tomorrow. Well, no luck. Fridge is dead, no power at all. There is no lights on control panel or inside the fridge. I checked the outlets, all good. Checked all the fuses, all good. I am thinking it is the circuit board but have no idea how to test or where to go from here. This is a Dometic rm1350 4 door 2008 model. Any help on troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Excellent. Nice to see the progress.

I have been a lurker for a couple of years now. I have wanted a semi from the time I was a little kid. Last month that dream came true when I purchased a 99 Volvo 610. My wife and I have 3 little girls with the oldest being 7 and the youngest 8 months. We have a rear seat out of a suburban with integrated seat belts on the bottom sleeper to keep the little ones safe. My oldest thinks the Volvo is the coolest thing in the world and wants a ride to school in it regularly which she gets. We were kind of full timers at one point. Ten years ago when I was going to college we bought a Teton Madison that we lived in for 2 years so we did not pay rent. Some of our family gave is a lot of flack for living in an RV. I guess it's ok to do it when retired but not when starting out. When we sold the Teton for a down payment on our first house they changed their tune and thought we were brilliant. Only problem was we could not afford a house that was anywhere near as nice as our Teton inside. We are about 15 to 20 years from being able full time again but look forward to that time. For now I am fortunate to have a job where we can go about 70 nights a year and my family loves it. Looking forward to the future with the hdt and hoping maybe someday I will be able to give back to this great community and knowledge base.
