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.
This is just for interest as the fridge does seem to keep cool. I just wanted to know if I could test to see what the car was producing at the socket. It may be worth you doing the same test.
I may have to hook the caravan up and test with the fridge creating the load
