The fridge should only be powered when the engine is running.
I have mislaid my two handbooks but I think my two cars are wired differently
as I once left the caravan connected to the car overnight and had a flat battery in the morning.
something to do with pins 9 and 10 on the 13 pin socket, not sure what the equivalent is on the ops socket. Modern caravans apparently have a relay that will disconnect the fridge from the cars battery if the engine is not running, not sure if my caravan has this relay or if it works
