Ah, I missed that it's a Canadian model - they have a different power
setup (a lead, ours have a socket on the side of the van that we plug a
lead into).  If you were to add an adapter, you should be fine - the
fridge doesn't use that much power.

This is the contents of the shelf under the sink in my van:

On the left, you can see the dual power socket, and the blue box on the
right is the charger.  The wires run behind the wall of the cupboard to
the house battery, and then under the carpet to the car battery.

If I were to unplug the fridge or use a double plug adaptor and use that plug if I understand properly, I would need to buy a charger and run a wire to the coach battery so that the coach battery gets charged?
