Thanks Mike, there is a detector under the fridge but doesn't seem to
have power? The book mentioned something about a detedtor in the

light on the control panel for the fridge. I'll look later...

Any advice on ensuring I have power to the whole coach? There is no
power to the microwave for instance....
