Getting the fridge to work?

Hi

We have a Electrolux fridge in our van, and it has 3 settings, looks like gas, battery, and plugging it in.

How do you get it to run off of the battery? and how long can it usually run before the battery actually dies?

Thanks!
Sean

Re: What engine is best?

If your mad enough to like bugs and met your missus through VWs then I'm sure you have a fair idea of what you want Give us a bit more of a clue what you're after - pure Vw or reliability? Ringo Well I like all VWs really, prefer air cooled, but fuel prices are soo high haha. What do the air cooled...
