Just installed all new batteries in our 2006 Country Coach Allure 470 37' MH this summer. Took it out of storage yesterday and drove to our RV lot in Palm Springs CA and discovered our refrigerator and electric toilet do not operate. Circuit breaker for fridge not correcting the problem. Can't find the domestic fuse box. Manual says it's back of the battery compartment---not there. Outside compartment under drivers seat is chassis fuses only. Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Mine are in the cabinet mid-coach below the 120 volt circuit breaker panel.

Hi Al and all;
Thanks for the response and the info. Found the fuses hiding behind the black cover, replaced the 20 amp fridge one but no joy. Still have a dead fridge and toilet. Tried all the GCI outlets I could find (just one in the bathroom) but that was not the cure. Any other ideas please let me know.

My toilet breaker is located in the battery box area.
It is on the wall toward the front of the coach, half way in near the top. It is a lever that needs to be push to the right. If my coach was with me, I would take a picture and send it to ya. Also, due to me messing up one day, I blew a 5amp fuse that is behind the breaker panel inside the coach. I checked every fuse in the coach and after I took it to my repair person, they found and it and replaced it. No fuse should be hidden like that, poor design IMHO.

The toilet has its own in-line fuse. Reach behind the unit near the top and you should feel some wires. Gently pull out the slack and you should see a red wire with a yellow in-line fuse holder.
If you still have a Norcold refrigerator, there is a fuse located on the circuit board on the back of the unit. Open the outside access door and you should see wires going to the board, usually under a black plastic cover. The refrigerator also has a 120 v circuit breaker that may have tripped. Push the breaker all the way off, then back to on to reset.
As with all electrical repairs, make sure you have disconnected power before working on the unit. If you are unsure, seek professional help to avoid turning a small problem into a big oops.

Many thanks to Al and all others that responded to my request for info about my fuse box location, toilet and refrigerator issues. Thanks to your input and calls to Country Coach in Junction City and a local tech guy the problems have been identified and corrected.
The new batteries install must have created a surge that wiped out the fridge module which now needs an upgrade (although the potential fire issue was dealt with a couple of years ago) and tripped the weird looking breaker for the toilet located almost invisibly in the battery compartment. All are now working.
Thanks again!
