If you can see the flame size changing on each setting and as you say, it's nice and blue, there in nothing wrong with it.
Try it on mains electic by all means but I suspect the fluids in the cooler unit have separated, very simple fix but you need to get the fridge out to do this.
But first and to check this, you can get at the lowest coolant tube in the circuit through the bottom vent outside, it's the flattened one along the bottom. This should be quite warm but not so you it would anywhere near burn you, if it is hotter the circulation has stopped as I expect.
So once out, turn fridge upside down for 20 seconds and then back for 20, do this three or four times. Finally on the last turn count the seconds for the last drop of fluid to drop, you want to count over 10, 12-15 is fantastic, less the ten and there's a blockage which still may prevent it working
Now having gone through the above, best if you rig it up to mains out of the van and plug it in to test.
Nothing will happen for 40 mins as cooling circuit gets going, then there should be a rapid cooling in the ice box down to minus numbers by 60mins in total.
Put a dessert spoon of water in a little tart dish and it should be beginning to freeze just after the hour
PS, if by chance you smell very strong cat pee! that's industrial Ammonia so the coolant is leaking, don't breath that in for long whatever you do!! but the cooling unit is scrap
