I removed my defective Dometic fridge from my Outback, unplugged power, gas and (2) 12 volt wires into the circuit board. Now I have no gas to the stove, furnace and hot water as well as no electric to hot water heater, did I short out a safety switch that shut off the propane?

There isn't any "safety switch" for the propane in your trailer. Did you cap the propane line at the refer? The AC side of the fridge is only for the heating element.

Did you unplug from the outlet at the back of the fridge or just pull wires from control board? If you didn't unplug from the outlet, then you probably tripped a breaker. If you just took the two 12V wires off the board, you probably blew a fuse.

Thanks, I will check the fuse first. I unplugged the ac power, capped propane then unscrewed 2 wires from control board. Should I just cap the 2 12 volt bars wires left over?

Yes. That is live 12VDC.
