Allegiance 2009 Inverter Issue

American Coach family, when I come off of shore power, after about 5 minutes, my refrigerator (gas / electric) starts to beep and the fault light on my inverter panel come on. The refrigerator then shuts off but the beeping continues. What can the problem be?

[Mod Edit]
The alarm is a warning that the fridge can't maintain temperature , the propane flame hasn't lit . Do you have propane and, is the tank turned on .
The person filling the tank is required by law to turn it off when filling , and sometimes they forget to turn it back on when they finish.
The inverter fault could be due to a low battery state of charge problem , have you checked the battery cells for water lately?
Fridge alarm could be tied to low batteries too. Do you have a read out on their voltage ?

I'd bet on bad batteries, with the low voltage causing both the inverter fault and inability of the fridge to function (it's circuit board and gas valve require at least 10.5v DC).

Good morning AC family,

My rear camera is not working and I was told it can't be repaired due to it's age and parts not being available. Is that true? If so, are there any suggestions on a replacement camera that isn't dash mounted? I would like to keep the same in-dash look that I have.

It's 12 year-old electronic gear, so it may well be obsolete. I'm not familiar with your camera system, so cannot suggest a replacement. If you can identify what camera you now have, maybe a vehicle camera lace can recommend a compatible replacement.
