I'm a first-time westy owner and got my van last weekend. The engine is blown
and doesn't run. Today for the first time I ran 120v to the van to see what
would work. Plugged a trouble light to the inside plug. Eureka! POWER!
Next plugged light into the plug in the cabinet under the sink. MORE
POWER! (Wife is looking on and can't understand joyful glee) Following the
instructions in the manual and printed on the fridge for 120v nothing happened.
No noise, no cold, nothing. I then put a charger on the dead battery.
Headlights, wipers, horn, dome light, etc. all work. Put fridge on 12v,
nothing. Next tried to light the fridge. There is propane in the tank, don't
know how much (was able to use stove). Followed instructions on fridge. Tried
many times.  The best I could do was once I got a loud pop that sounded like it
came from the outside vent. Van does not have second battery. Noticed that a
fuse is blown in the little box next to the bottom of the drivers seat (the
fuse on the right). Don't have any extra fuses, but plan to replace ALL fuses
this weekend. I plan to leave the charger on the battery all night (with cables
removed). Anyone got any ideas why 120v isn't working?
