We just got home today midafternoon. Left out Friday 4-25. Total trip mileage 3100. DEF use ten gallons. Avg. fuel burn 6.9 MPG. Cruise set every day at 68 when limits allowed. I ran a cetane booster on all fill ups but the last tank(I ran out). No appreciable difference on the last tank and the others.
What broke:
The 12v to 110v inverter died on the second day
The master bath fantastic fan will turn on and run for about 10 seconds and close back down. The light on the wall stay on.
The heat pump on the bedroom AC unit is not working. It is new. Iam hoping for an incorrect dip switch setting.
The DW can't open the fridge when going down the road.
Have I ever said the woodfire Ninja is da bomb?
 
Fantastic fan issue may be a little moisture near the rain switch.
Do you see a dim red light when looking up at the fan? If so, moisture may be the issue which can come from rain, washing the coach, or high humidity from taking a shower. Hope this helps.
 
I will check that John, thanks
 
Question, what's with the refrigerator that it won't open? Your AC problem sounds like a dip switch setting is off on the unit. Also, eventually, I would recommend replacing the "fantastic fans" with Maxxair units. Much quieter, more efficient moving air, and you can use them when it's raining without an added cover. I've done all three in our coach and couldn't be happier with them.
 
Your inverter has a reset button on it. Most likely that has tripped.

Year and model of coach will help us determine exactly where the reset is.
