For some reason, CC thinks its a good idea to have another breaker for the fridge labeled washer/dryer. I found that out on my '12 when my fridge would not come on... just a thought.

Check inverter display to see if it shows a fault. If inverter has a gfi outlet on it check to see if it needs to be reset.

Sorry for the lost.

Check your entertainment system also and any other electrical attachment that is 110V.

Did you have a surge protector installed either hardwired or portable in line from the Campground power source? This is one of the most important attachments that should be bought first for any of the newer campers.

We also have a 2013 - 36CKTS, same thing happened last spring, like Jim said, check everything, We also lost our fireplace & the radio/DVD player in addition to all the other accessories that you lost.
Don't forget to ck your A/C.
Fortunately, FR original factory warranty covered everything.
It took them forever though....
Have a surge protector now.

Good luck, hope you make out OK...

I had the same thing happen to my 2015 Silverback, 33IK 5er 4 weeks ago, just got it back from the repair shop last week. I turned in a claim to my insurance (Gieco) and they covered every think.
We thought the frig was out but come to find out the inverter was fried not the frig.
Keep this in mind. The extended warranty does not start until the factory warranty runs out. And the factory WILL NOT cover power surge. Ask me how I know. My power surge happened the first time I plugged in the cable when I got the unit home. (First Time!!!)

Lucky! Go to www.Technorv.com and find a Progressive surge protector and order one. Best $300 ever invested. I say Techno because they were at the FR Rally. They are CHEAP (er) fast and know their stuff.
Had mine in 5 days. Comes UPS. No tax and free shipping.
PROGRESSIVE HAS A LIFETIME FACTORY WARRANTY.
I bought the portable unit for $305. Hard wired unit w remote display is $310.
