I don't think something is amiss. I believe that is how it is supposed to work.
12v for travelling, not gas, as there is no Secumotion safety valve fitted, so it seems logical to me. If I stop at a filling station my fridge keeps on working and doesn't shut down, it doesn't need to. When I park up and turn on the gas or hook up, the fridge switches to one of those options, or I can do it manually. I just have to remember that it is draining my starter battery, and as I previously said, I would like to see it switch to the leisure batteries with the engine off.
Anyway, I like it like it is, so I'm not going to change it.
If it ain't broken and all that
That's just how our AES fridge worked in the Rimor when we had it, pretty normal on 'foreign' vans, but as I said before, not heard of it on a British built one .. perhaps 'we' are catching up at last!
