A good place to start if you are a complete novice is to buy a book as it explains absolutely everything you need to know to get started. That's what I did and anything that's not covered you can ask on this forum. A good book for a newbie is the Caravan Handbook by John Wickersham.

Have a look for information on youtube as sometimes a short video can explain a thousand words. Below is a link to operate the fridge on gas which I believe is one of the topics you requested for help with.
