[Wildman]

there is no 12v when the engine is running (quite normal in a lot of vans), the fridge does not work on 12v UNLESS the engine is running, what exactly is the problem. Get it down here and I'll see if I can help.

nothing to do with the solar panel, what make 12v controller is fitted? certain control boards are known to be weak and fail if theres a power surge on the 240v mains

 

[2bob]

thats what iv said to him THEbig 1

Does he have a switch in the footwell of the habitation entrance ?

That caught me out when I first got my van. It is for when you leave the van in the dark, it is a master switch for habitation 12v, and on return it is easier than charging about in the dark looking for a light switch.
