Thanks SeaDawg. The panel light reads On and Auto but I can't toggle to AC or DC or Gas (I'd happily take any one). None of these indicator lights are lit. Did not know about the multiple control boards. You are right....what a pita! I'll call dometic on Monday. My wife, who is an absolute all-star, is excited about the trip but not so excited about living out of a cooler for 3 weeks.

Thanks Topgun and Steph/Dud for ideas/suggestions. The rig is connected to shore power using adapter from 30A. All 3 prongs are present. I opened the vent panel behind the refrigerator on the outside of the rig and checked all connections. Turns out the 6 prong display connector (upper left on circuit board) was very loose. I firmly attached it and while I was in there I checked the 2 fuses on the circuit board...both were good and all the other connections Spirits were high at this point. Went inside the rig and flipped the AC breaker on....there was power to the display panel and I toggled to auto. Spirits very high at this point. However, the refrigerator would not activate so I toggled on/off a couple times and tried to toggle to AC and DC...not auto. There were no lights under AC or DC on the display and the unit did not operate. Spirits have peaked and are on the decline. By the way this is a 2018 Elite 2 with a Dometic model RM2454 refrigerator/freezer. Now I'm off to the internet to check the manual and see if there is some kind of a "reset". Ideas and suggestions still very welcome.

In prep for a trip to southern Utah next week I have been preparing the Oliver. I posted earlier about some water freeze issues (my fault, not the Oliver) that have been corrected. I also posted about issues with our Dometic refrigerator and thought our issues were related to the often maligned circuit board that provides power and ability to cool from AC, DC, or LP gas. With help I was able to get a new circuit board (sounds like the last in the world) and installed it this morning. I'm thinking now that it may not be the board but something else. Here's the symptoms: when I am connected to shore power and flip the ac circuit breaker in the Oliver to "on" it immediately trips a GFCI breaker located on one of our outdoor outlets...not the ac circuit breaker in the home breaker box. When I disconnect shore power and attempt to operate the refrigerator via the inverter no breakers in the Oliver trip but there is no power to the refrigerator. Looking for suggestions. Faulty refrigerator?

Hope the problem is simply a cracked plastic fitting. I have to get the unit out to check it. Oliver installs these for "keeps".

Yes! Not sure what I was thinking...more like wasn't thinking!

Well, did as Ray suggested and water was flowing out of plastic shark-bite like fitting in back of Truma Aquago Instant water heater. Hopefully it's just the plastic fitting and not the Temperature Stabilizer Tank. Now to figure out how to remove unit so I can access the fitting. Hoping this isn't a cascade of problems including air leaks upstream as topgun2 mentioned. The Truma manual does not describe removal of the entire heater so I'll call Oliver tomorrow. In the interim, has anyone remove the Truma unit?

Great idea. Trying it right now.

...and this time I think the problem initiator would be me! After our last fall trip I thought I drained the water from the freshwater tank but I didn't. You can probably figure out where this is going. In prep for our upcoming trip to southern Utah I turned on the water pump and saw that the pump would not stop and no water would come out of the faucets. I looked at the pump/accumulator plumbing and saw that the filter housing (on the suction side of the pump) was cracked and had "dribbled" a small amount of water. At this point I checked the tank monitor gauge and saw that the tank was nearly full of freshwater (and if I could have kicked myself in the backside I would have). We live at near sea level in Western Washington and it seldom gets cold but this winter we had a good cold snap and I'm pretty sure that's what cracked my filter. I purchased a new filter but just replaced the stainless filter element not the entire filter body. I was so sure that this would solve my problem that I drained all water from the tank using the bottom, gravity drain and refilled the tank with water and some bleach to disinfect the tank. I oriented all the valves in their correct position and turned on the pump. As they say, No Joy, and the pump would not turn off and there was no water at the faucets. I checked the pump area and all the valves and fittings that I could see....there were no apparent water leaks. The only thing I can think of is I have an air leak (maybe because something cracked during the freeze). I also assume these pumps do not need priming after draining. Any ideas? Like most of these problems I thing its relatively simple and may also be operator error....again.

Mountain Oliver, thanks for the input. What a shame to have to throw out a 5 yr old refrigerator for lack of a cheap (to manufacture) circuit board. Wasteful is the word that comes to mine. Have lost some respect for Dometic due to poor design (or manufacturing problems) and lack of support. I will look at the installation process you mentioned. What brand replacement did you use? I'm reasonably handy and like this kind of project but it seems like a big, complicated task. Am I wrong?

Thank you both! Dud, I ordered the "last one" off the ebay link you sent...didnt pay the $400 they wanted but darn close! If I can get another year or more from the new board I'll be a Happy Camper (pun intended). If I was replaced my Dometic today what would you replace it with and why? I do like the 3 way (110v ac, 12v dc, and propane) capability.

Hi. Hoping you can help with a Dometic Refrigerator problem. We have an Elite 2 (Hull 329), purchased in 2018, with a Dometic RM2454 refrigerator. I noticed the last time we used the trailer that the on/off button was "finicky"....sometimes it would go on with a single touch and other times it took numerous attempts including depressing the on button for an extended period before it would go on. As luck would have it, as we are scheduled to leave for a 3 week trip to southern Utah at the end of the month, I can not turn the refrigerator on. I did some voltage testing and believe the problem is the upper control panel, a not uncommon problem I have learned. Also unfortunate is the fact that Dometic doesn't carry these any longer and I can not find one through other sources. My question is: does anyone know where I can get one of these (the part number for what its worth is 2932884030), and absent that is there another board that I could use, and absent that (and worst case) is there another dometic fridge that is essentially plug and play that I could insert in place of the old one. Given the time before we planned to depart I don't have a lot of time to modify existing plumbing/electrical/cabinetry. Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Sure enough, there it was. It's model AFSD20111 if any one is interested. Thanks bhncb!

Does anyone know the model number for the Atwood furnace installed on a 2018 Legacy Elite? I looked in the Oliver paper provided with trailer and took off the exterior furnace vent/cover but no model number in either location. Thanks.

You guys are great! From a first time user I was super impressed with the breadth of knowledge/experience and timelines of the responses. I sure do know where to go for expert advice!! I ended up installing the shunt and a new bus bar inside the battery compartment on the left hand side. I used a small piece of pvc molding (thank you Home Depot) and attached it to the battery compartment wall with 3M adhesive and attached the shunt and bus to it. I installed the gauge just below the pantry counter on the right hand side and ran the data cable and a power cable through the battery compartment using grommets to eliminate chaffing. Reinstalling the batteries and hooking the cables to the battery was a piece of cake. All works great! Special thanks to Andrew for the phone calls...and advice!

I know I can use the bluetooth feature to access the battery info (versus mounting the gauge) but has anyone run the cable and installed the gauge above the battery/tank gauge monitor that came with the Oliver. I've tried running some wire down both sides of the cabinet (one side of which has the Oliver battery/tank monitor gauges) but haven't been successful...I keep running into obstructions. I know the power cable for the battery gauge monitor runs behind the cabinet but I haven't had any luck trying to run a cable down this direction either. I would really like to avoid drilling any holes. Any advice? The good news is Oliver really seals these compartments well, far far better than most trailers I've seen! Thanks.
