New owner Fuse Box location and refrigerator question!

[FLSunshine]

We are newbies and just purchased a 2021 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 195RB. Can anyone tell me where the fuse box is?

And how do you operate the little refrigerator off of electric?

Purchased so we can run from a hurricane if it's going to hit here at CAT 4 or above - we have three big rescue dogs and it's impossible to find hotels running from a hurricane. So making like a turtle and having a house on our back. We also want to do some short trips close by to get them used to it.

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Welcome to the Forum from Western New York State!

Congratulations on the new JayFlight! Your trailer will have a set of manuals from each of the component manufacturers, as well as a more generic manual from Jayco, explaining other features and maintenance procedures. There should be a control at the top front face on the refrigerator. Did the dealer give you a PDI walkthrough when you picked it up?

We did the quick walk through. However, neither one of us can remember where he said the fuse box is, just that it takes regular automotive fuses.

And the refrigerator, he said leave it on automatic and it will choose the electric first and if it's not available it will choose the gas. Well, we had the trailer plugged in and the refrigerator did absolutely nothing.

Frustrating being new to all of this and I know it will get much simpler as we roll. Looking forward to that! lol

You'll be a pro at it in no time at all. We've ALL been new at this at one time or another.

I watched an ad video, and I saw what may be the fuse/breaker panel under the furnace. It may have a front panel that opens and closes with a finger-push area. Look closely at the face of that panel for an arrow, or the word 'open', and give that spot a little push. It'll pop open.

The blue 15 amp automotive fuses, and 110 volt breakers will be inside. Try this. Turn the breakers completely off, then back on. That will reset any that may have tripped, or been turned off at the dealership. Then check the fridge. Keep in mind that it'll take about 24 hours give or take for it to get cold, and on electric it'll be silent, so you can't hear it cooling.

It also needs 12 volt power from the battery, for the controls to function.

It'll all come together, and we're all here to help with any questions. Keep us up to date.

you are looking for something like this. Possibly under the fridge. fuses on the right, breakers on the left behind the door.

Welcome from NE Georgia! There are many helpful people on here and we've all been new at some point. You will be playing Where's Waldo with lots of things trying to remember what was gone over in the PDI, but that's part of the fun and does help you get to know your unit. Good luck with the unit.
