I think it will draw too many amps for a transformer mate
why not use the gas... , they don't use much

I'm sure someone with a twin slider tried venting out of the wheel arch too; way, way back - can't remember if it worked though.

The fridge will draw just under 9 amps at 12v but that will drop to less than 0.5 amp at 230v, (I'm pretty certain the elements are about 100W).
