The fridge will make noise after it runs for a while. I'm not sure what
causes the noise but it sounds like an electric fridge changing cycles or
the sort. There are two vents; one on the rear that goes out the side of
the van and the other vents out the top end on the left top. The one on
the inside may just be venting air that circulates around the exhaust
vent. At any rate you'll feel heat there when the fridge is runnning.

I always test the gas by lighting a stove top burner first and my fridge
has always worked.
I haven't been able to figure out which pipe you could be putting
compressed air into. The only pipe on the front side is the water drain
pipe with the little screw on cap, and thats just for draining off
condensation moisture.
