    Exclamation Furnace and Refer on same 15 amp circuit

    Our fridge and furnace are on the same circuit with a few other items such as lights. Lately, that circuit has been blowing the fuse marked fridge/furn. My husband wants to split those out since we have four empty spots in the fuse panel. It is a 12V, 15 amp fuse. Has anyone done this on a 2016 Solitude 379FL? Of course, a while ago we tried to get a wiring schematic from GD but they don't have them. Would be interested in some feedback to see if any others have had this issue and have resolved it.

    You more likely have a short rather than a demand higher than the amperage... You should try to troubleshoot by using a process of elimination to see what is used that ultimately pops the fuse.

    So what is causing the fuse to blow, the fridge, furnace or lights? As stated you probably have a short somewhere that needs to be fixed. If not fixed, simply adding another circuit will not solve the problem.
