Hi, I have an Avondale 556 Godiva 2003. I am new to caravanning, but getting used to things slowly. My question is about using the fridge whilst plugged into the mains. There are 2 switches below from nearside seat next to the fridge, one is circular and I believe controls the temperature and air flow from the fire, the other is just a white mains switch that lights up red when turned on...is this the switch that puts the power to the fridge when connected to the mains? If not can someone help me? I have checked the fuse box opposite, and all seems fine, all other electrics are fine, but hoping putting the switch on, will turn fridge on if I put it onto dc volt on fridge? Is this the way to do it, or have not turned on the right thing, or do I need a new fridge?

no , you cannot run the fridge on 12v directly from the caravan battery, it would discharge the battery in a couple of hours , 12volt fridge opperation is for when plugged into car electrics, and runs off the car when engine is running, you can run the fridge from gas ,or 240v electrics.
the circular switch you discribe is almost cirtainly the fire controls.
the domestic type "white" switch could be the fridge ,or it may be the water heater, so dont switch it on without any water in it.
try the fridge on mains electric, then wait a couple of hours to see if it is cooling down. you wont hear it running, like a domestic fridge, and its unlikely a van of that age (i think) would have a fridge light
