John,

Not sure I'm completely following your question, but you have 12 volt fuses under the dash cover in front of driver.

There is also the 12 volt breaker panel at the base of the bed.

There are 12 volt circuit breakers in the center storage bay, under a white fiberglass cover.  In the photo below, with the cover removed, you can see 2 vertical rows of small re-setable circuit breakers.  The TOP one in the left row is a 30A for the fridge.

Do I remember correctly, that there is a fuse on the back of the refer. under the black cover on the computer board?
I blew a refer fuse on my 93, 225, and found it either under the bed, or in a bay with other replacement fuses.

I left my 98, 295 for service, and when I returned the" salesman" switch was off, and no amount of hope would turn on the 12volt to the coach.  I found in a bay, the correct circuit breaker to reset for that master switch.  I seem to remember that the switch would light, but I had no power to anything.

There are places on the back side of the refer that should test and show, both 110volt AC, and 12 volt DC.  As I recall, the 12 volt has a small terminal block would be an easy place to confirm power from the coach to the refer.

If you have power, but no propane, then if you still have a propane shut off electric solenoid in the supply line, it is possible it has failed to open.  Much has be written about deleting the old style solenoid in line at the tank.

Dave, my issue is the igniter comes on.. burns fo between 60-90 sec then shuts off..
I can't get to the burner, the frige is 2" lower than the access hole

For now the electric is working.. if I could find the 30A 12v lead to the frige area, I would put in a small inverter,, oh well. Leaving too soon for that kind of mod..

Thanks 4 your help!

The flame sensor is not being heated enough by the burner, might need adjusted as it should be glowing red when the flame is on or it may be bad, I think that the wire plugs onto the sensor, so could have corrosion
