picking up the fridge from Colton RV today. Supposedly there is nothing wrong with it. That would mean the problem is in the inverter and or wiring. It worked fine for a year after the initial install. Big water is the prime suspect now. Warm beer sucks.

I know that if my batteries don't have a good charge my fridge will not work on DC power. I had a hard time getting it to work until I changed my batteries. After I installed new batteries it has worked great.

Hey captian, did I see your boat at Erie Basin when I was there for the poker run?

I second the battery comment. I had 1 good and 1 bad. My stereo would cut out at high volume. Now I can go until I kill the speakers.

The wiring is pretty simple, shouldn't be hard.

yup, that was me. Both Erie Basin and Ray's boathouse. Battery power is not a problem (4 optimas under rear seat) my shore power is wired to 2000w inverter. This Sonic is a camper, 9 days in 1000 Islands. Problem might be loose wiring with all the pounding Lake Erie provides.

Yup, and when the Captain's not camping in the Thousand Islands, here's where he ties off the boat back home... his slip is the open one to the right.

Slip looks kind of short...as far as he must stick out in the river. He must have to keep his nav. lights on at night so nobody runs him over...

You're right Upstate, his boat does stick out past the dock a little... but it's not really a problem in them there parts, because his neighbors all have smaller crafts and don't go out too much at night. Here's a pic of the guy who ties off in the slip just to the left of the Captain's slip... Besides, if any of them DO go out at night, they usually practice safe-boating and wear their night vision goggles...

Ok, I'm back at it again with the fridge. Suspect the inverter may be the problem. Where is the inverter located?? Took a quick look around tonight and didn't see it.

I would like to know where the inverter is also? I pulled my fridge because of this issue and built a nice deep storage compartment there.I must admit I like having it more than the fridge
