So, after Covid restrictions, dealing with a severe flare up of my CLL requiring chemo and immunotherapy, and Bonnie's trials and tribulations with her work leading to a decision for her to finally retire at the end of last year, we decided it was time to go for the shakedown cruise for our fifth wheel. It involved some interesting hassles, beginning with the refrigerator not running on electric. It did work on propane at least. I called a technician, turns out who was relatively fresh out of NRVTA technician school, but he was able to determine that the circuit board had blown a fuse and the electric heating element was no good, likely cooked at the very beginning when the electrician had miswired the 30 Amp power pole. At any rate, after parting with a good chunk of cash, the refrigerator was fixed.

Next came the electric fireplace, which was essentially a chinese space heater with LED lights shining through a foil fake flames mechanism, also which  did not work. It was easy to take out, and there were no fuses or user serviceable parts, and they did not even sell parts for this model anymore - all you could do was buy a new one for about 400.00 if you wanted one. But behind it was a nice large space much more valuable as storage, so we decided to just junk it, and I prepped the area as a storage space. We can always buy a much better, more efficient space heater if we need to.
