We are going through the purchase process on a new 17.56-1. This is our first caravan and I have a reasonable understanding of most things, but the 3 way fridge is confusing me somewhat.
If I'm driving along, I assume the car alternator provides power to the fridge. If so, does running the fridge cause any issues for the vehicle charging the normal car battery and the fridge?
What happens when we stop at the side of the road for an hour to have a break? Do I need to swap over to gas? Should there be a 12V battery in there somewhere?
About the only bit I understand is when you get to the powered site and connect to the 240V.
We love the caravan and can't wait to go away on our first trip.
Thanks in advance.
