Default Front reading lights

This the first time I had a chance to get in the trailer and find the kinks. I switched out all the bulbs to LED. I can not figure ouyt the 2 front reading lights? They look like they use the same as the overhead. It so I can not get them to turn on. HELP!

There is a switch near the fantastic fan or the A/C I can't recall which. Flip that on and then check the switch on the reading lights.

This is common unknown for newbies.

My switch is near the normal vent not the fan vent which also has a switch.

Ours is in the light/ vent above the table on our 05 2619 and it’s a small black rotary switch.

Default First Experiance

I will have to play with it again. This last weekend was the first time I spent any time in it. It was opening weekend and I was doing lots of outside projects. I do like that awning supports that can be staked to the ground instead of having to be attached to the trailer. It really opened up the outside. I did have one electrical issue, I blew the fuse for the front 12v system, and don't know how i did and I do not know how I fixed it. I do believe it had to do with the those front reading lights. I did find out my "Reefer" Fan does not work. Fridge never really cooled down. Hot water heater is awesome for coffee water. Does the battery charge when the camper is on 220? On my vent fan can I turn the blade over so it blows instead of sucks?

Just a note: while the front awning supports can be staked to the ground, unless you use big screw-in stakes a gust of wind can rip them out and destroy the awning. The body supports are much stronger

I think that is true. Get some more info, and more detail, for us to work with.

If you blew a fuse, the only way to fix it is to pull the blown fuse out of the converter box, and replace it. Did you do that?

If the TM is open (set up) and the refrig doesn't cool, the fan is not the problem. The refrig cools slowly, but after a couple hours you should be able to put your hand on the freezer floor and feel that it is getting cold. If one mode doesn't work (gas/battery/electric), try one of the others.

Not sure what you are asking. There is no way that the camper can be put on 220.

Are you talking about the refrig vent fan, or the ceiling vent fan (Fantastic fan) in the living area? The Fantastic fan should blow upward and outward. If it blows down and inward, then most likely someone reversed the wires that power it. I'm not sure you can turn the blade over, but you can reverse the wires easily.

Default Clarification

I will play with the front lights again. I may disconnect entirely, because I will probably use the front as storage. I did replace the fuse and everything worked great. I'm not sure what happened. The refrigerator is going to be storage also. I am only out there 2 days at a time. It takes to long for it to cool down to the point I can use it. I know this is a conditional question, but how efficient is the refrigerator using LP? Maybe 220 is wrong, but when the trailer is plugged in to the generator, does the battery charge?
Thank you, on the advise of the Fantastic fan. I will try that. I hope this information clears up some of questions.
