<< What does the keyhole on the outside do? (the one next to the ac

have the key for) >>

  First off, I'd recommend that you get an owner's manual in order to
learn about your Westy accessories.  That keyhole opens the filler
door for a 13 gallon fresh water tank which is located underneath the
storage cabinet closest to the hanging wardrobe.  It has nothing to
do with the operation of lights or water pump.

   You'll want  to visually check the condition of that tank before you
use it, and even if it appears clean,  I'd advise you to disinfect
the whole water system.  It's best to be safe.  Let me know if you
need instructions on how to do this.

  Your  "dead" fuse is probably the 12V supply for the fridge.
This leg should only be active when the engine is running...in 12V
operation, the fridge draws 7 amps.  The other fuse feeds the lights,
water pump and the LED panel which indicates battery voltage,
water tank level and 12V/LP fridge operation.
