    What did you try the fridge on? 240v? 12v? Gas?
    Is the gas bottle empty? Is the valve open? Is it plugged in? Is the engine running? Is the battery flat?
    More info needed.

    Hot water ? does it have a water heater or does it need the engine to provide heat ? If the heat is provided by LPG from cylinders, you probably need a working leisure battery to power the heaters electrics.
    Fridge ? does it have a leisure battery, if so is it flat ?

    Is the van perfectly level? The fridge wont work unless it is and I’ve heard Wales can be on a bit of a slope.:)
