Hello and welcome to the mad and wonderful world of motorhomes and campervans.
Let's see. Good to know that the fridge seems to work on 12 volts. This really only keeps the fridge cool, so you may not notice as much cooling as on gas or mains. You don't state the model of fridge, but do you have additional switches and thermostats on the fridge itself? Make sure that they are switched on. Also check that the breakers on the mains consumer unit are ON.
EHU generally only charges the leisure battery, but this is not always the case. You will have to check your handbook if you have one, or do a bit of detective work. In some vans EHU can charge both batteries or you can select which one to charge.
The first new van that I owned was on a Talbot express. You might find it under-powered and the gear change can be like a wrestling match. However mine was reliable and took us all round the UK and Europe.
You're always free to ask questions and members are very helpful.
