Morning, I'm new to this forum and to motorhoming. I did spend a few eeks in a motorhome in both Autralia and New Zealand in 2005 but I've just bought a 2013 AT Comanche. My wife and I plan to take a sabbatical for a year or so and tour Europe with our two dogs, we'll be setting off in March if we can get the house let to finance the plan.
I bought the van from White Arches in Northants and so far there is only one big problem, the fridge doesn't work. It's a Dometic RMD 8505/8555. The fault is that it doesn't cool. The lights on the control panel all indicate that it is working and I can hear the gas lighting when it is on gas, but the fins stay at the ambient temperature. It switches from 240v to gas to 12v automatically as it should but I get nothing in any of the three modes. I have a warranty from the dealer so will be in touch when they re-open in January but if anyone can think of something basic I might not have done, I'd be grateful. I'm guessing it's the thermostat.
Oh, it goes clunk when starting from cold and the garage leaks, but those faults seem pretty standard...!
Cheers
