Although, as has already said, the fridge should only work off 12v, with the engine running, interestingly I've read that with some new/current models they can/do run with the engine off..
Whether that's down to the van manufacturer or the fridge manufacturer's(Dometic?) brief, I have no idea..Seems daft to me though.(..and I've read that owners pull a fuse to disable the "function"...)
S & J ...
On a more general note(and back on topic  ) it's also worth bearing in mind, that MHs do vary when it comes to the "..which switch selects what....and which battery gets charged when.?..." lark. Our previous vans have all varied to some degree.
Some will charge the cab battery on hook-up, some won't, some will do it automatically, whilst another may have a *selector switch etc (*some may select which battery you DRAW from, others it's which battery gets CHARGED  ).
Although they aren't always that "enlightening", it's worth sourcing a handbook/manual specific for your make model of van.
(..unfortunately, we've found that some "dealers" aren't always that clued up either, so you can't always take what they tell us as gospel).
