Thanks for all your suggestions ! the vent outside the van is warm and the ice bx is the same temp as outside  ! The van is nearly leval but the fridge has always worked when at this leval (on the drive) before Everything ie battery wise seems to work ? Could it have something to do with a faulty thermostat ?? !

mine has been plonked on the drive and fridge worked ok.a couple of weeks back at west runton it was as yours. i checked caravan for level front to back spot on side to side it was out not a great deal but out.i leveled the the van and fridge worked .i would try levelling before going down any other avenue.

The first thing I would do is see if the the fridge will work on mains if you can connect it to a hook up.  If it works then you need to look at the gas side if it doesn't work then maybe it is more serious.

Assuming it either works on 230v or you can't connect it up then I would try cleaning the flue.  A few weeks ago this happend to us one weekend fridge worked fine next weekend fridge lit but didn't cool at all.  I took the top vent off  removed the metal spiral baffle from the flue and used a goose feather gaffer taped to kebab stick as a cleaning brush next thing fridge worked I believe spiders and other bugs can take up residence in the flue tube causing problems but I would try the above you might be lucky like I was
