3-way fridge

I would start with the electrical panel in back of the van. Check to see that all of the circuit switches are pushed in.

First, check and make sure that the single push/pull 15 amp breaker in your rear panel is PUSHED IN. Second, make sure all the ones on the left are pushed in as well. You might want to take the double vent cover for the heater in the back off and open the access door to the converter and make sure that all of the wiring has solid connections. Take the wire nuts off and double check the wire stripping... Winnebago has a lot to learn about good wiring! Regards, John

If the battery is running down while driving, you have a charging issue.

Could be a weak alternator, a bad isolation solenoid, bad connection, etc. First things first: Remove and clean the coach battery terminals and connectors. I just had this problem, and there was corrosion limiting the current flow into the battery. Then, measure the voltage with the engine at 1500 rpm on both sides of the isolation solenoid. It should be the same 13.6 volts or more. Do the same at the coach battery. Then turn on the fridge (12v of course) and check the voltage at the battery. If it drops below 12v, you have a weak alternator. If not, turn on the headlights and heater fans and check the voltage. It should still be at least 13v with all this stuff running. Good luck!
