It's been 2 years now since I last hooked my van up, when i did I found that the fridge didn't work on 12v you could just hear a clicking behind the fridge (relay?). I had fitted a new alternator so assumed this had caused a change in power supply and I was given to understand that the towbar electrics should have a relay fitted that is adjustable to compensate for any power difference. I haven't sorted the problem because of lack of use and will likely sell the van in the spring so might not get to the bottom of the issue.
This of course may be a completely different issue to what you are trying to resolve but thought I'd throw it in just in case it has any relevance.
