Carolyn,
Thoughts on your ice maker comment:"Ok, ice maker very cold quick, turned it off for now, no water, need to look at diagram."
Many RV refrigerator freezer ice makers are fed though a charcoal water filter normally located under the kitchen counter. If you have a filtered water faucet on the counter, look underneath and you will likely see the filter container. The drinking water faucet assemblies I have seen all look like a giraffe's neck (IE high). This type of water feed may, or may not, apply to separate (not in the RV freezer) units fitted in some coaches....
These filters often have a shut off valve close by and under the counter so the filter cartridge can be changed out without shutting off the main water supply either outside or elsewhere in the coach. If it is turned off... no water is fed to the ice maker!!! (Maybe no filter either or it could need changing, something else to check!! Charcoal cartridges do have a limited useful lifetime.)
There also may be a valve just behind the refrigerator as well and it can be seen by taking off the outside panel behind the fridge. The water solenoid is there and you will note the small clear plastic (in many cases) pipe going UP to the top of the fridge.
