That's true. What Bob says. These fridges are not designed to be run off a leisure battery. The 12V option is purely for powering the fridge, from the car battery, whilst travelling to and from your destination.
Again, I would agree that this is unlikely to be a 2 way fridge, but more likely a 3 way fridge, and, if you have an EHU (electric hook up) facility, that would be one way to test it. Another would be to connect the grey socket, and try it from there, but this will only work if your car tow bar is wired for the twin electrics.
I deal, primarily, in Pennine's, but I have an electronic copy of a Pennine manual, from around the 'Tardis' era, so the fridge section of the manual may be of some use to you. If you let me know your email, I will pop you the relevant pages across. If you like, you can message me through the contact page of my web site Blue Sky Contact Page and I'll get it sorted from there.

This sounds different to ours - we have temp dials on the outside of the fridge but inside the camper.
Where do you light the pilot light ?
We have to lie on the floor, the light is right at the bottom of the fridge, the knobs are near the floor at the left side of the fridge.
I usually gauge whether it is working by looking if frost is forming inside the freezer compartment, sometimes I put a freezer block in to see if it firms up.
As I said, it never seems to get very cold on EHU, but it does on gas, although it can take hours to actually chill anything.
Ours is 1992 - I think our main manual is for Tardis as well, but I suspect the fridge will be a separate manual as I think it was an optional extra, so may be a completely different one to yours. I can have a look next week if you want ?
Just a thought - doesn't the fridge have to be dead even to work properly - I'm sure there has been a previous thread on here along those lines.
