My 12v frig light went out and after a few hours I noticed it not cooling. My 262rb is only 3 months old and I'm looking for a fix.
Is this a common issue or did I just get a lemon? Very frustrated with my alliance camp with issue after issue for a 50k product.
Any solutions?

Alliance is an assembler of predominately, lippert industries components. Durability and quality are not lippert strong points, imho. That said, these things are rolling earthquakes going down the road. Lots of stuff goes wrong from the fantastic roads we have in this country. I would contact your dealer, alliance and lippert if necessary. I assume this is a new unit still under warranty? 3 mos old, yeah, it should be warranted.

Battery level?

Check fuse on battery feed?

Some frig's even have their own fuse. My Norcold has 2x at the very bottom, just under the freezer door.

Check battery cables for lose connection.

All fuses and breakers are good, all lights and pump work. Just the frig and I'm not sure where the frig fuse is

I'm talking with dealer but im 2hrs away and live in my camper 6 days a week for work. Looking for any help to get it fixed so I don't have to pull and lose a day's pay.

I'm having the exact same problem. It's all under warranty, but it'd be the 2nd summer sitting in the shop. Heading west in 3 weeks. Help.

The schematic for the fridge showed a 15a fuse. I thought it was the one in the electric panel. For shits and giggles I took the bottom vent plate off and baking the is an inline fuse under there. It's a 15 amp and it was blown. Popped a new one in and it started immediately.

I had a similar problem 1 week after purchase. The 2 fusee on bottom under freezer were not pushed in. I pushed them in and stared working again. They were probably only pushed in half way if that

Glad you found the fuse on the frig. Those are tricky, as most people think they only need to check the 12v panel. As I said above, we have 2 fuses, I am surprised you only have one. I would have thought there would be one for frig and one for freezer.

Glad you found your issue!
Goes without saying, but keep an eye on things, fuses blow for a reason, once you might discount as an anomaly, but if it blows again or repeatably, another problem needs investigated.

Does the vent just pop off? I thought about popping it off but didn't want to break it so left it be. I'll check on Monday to see if it's the fuse

Was able to check fuse in lower vent but it not my issue, Replaced just to be sure. Opened up hatch with light inside and all wires seemed secure and tight. Not sure what else it could be other then maybe main power to frig but dealer will need to investigate

Which fuse in the panel is for frig.
While I can’t tell you which fuse is for each compartment, I can suggest that you check for voltage on both sides of each fuse with a test light or multimeter.
If voltage is present on both sides of the fuse , your issue would likely be within the appliance some where or you could have a large voltage drop that would only show up under a loaded circuit.
This helps validate that the fuse is intact and helps you determine if you have a supply problem or appliance issue.
Just offering a suggestion.
Hope you get it figured out soon.

We had a similar issue a few weeks back with the fridge in our 310RL.
Put a call into Alliance tech support for TS ideas - crickets.... [Seems to be the typical response I get from them over the past 6-9 months].
Could not find a breaker or fuse in electric panel for fridge either.
Found plug between stove and fridge behind wall with ice maker valve.
Pulled plug - left it out for about 15 minutes - plugged back in and so far all is good again.

I know, different unit and refrigerator but it can't hurt to try.

Just my 0.02...BIll

Alright peeps I found the problem. At the panel in the storage by water pump there is a roll of optifuses. The top one is for the frig and it went bad or something. I ran a jumper to test and frig worked. Went to autozone and replaced in 10 min and am living with a frig.
Heres what I'm talking about and you may want to add 1 to your parts pack.
 
Those are not fuses those are self-resetting circuit breakers. Fuse are not a problem. Why they blow is! So, if you simply replace a fuse with these, it's not a solution....UNLESS the value is HIGHER than the fuse....If that's the case, then check with Refer manual as to the correct fuse size maker of fridge requires. If you are using a fuse LARGER than factory...YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!

I have a week old 252RL. Has anybody had experience with the freezer being 0° and the refrigerator is 58°. Refrigerator will not go below 58°

I have the same issue. Freeze works like a champ but fridge is set to coldest and it's right around 60. Is this normal?
