Unless your van has come from the US they were normally set up for same voltage as the UK i.e. 230VAC.

Given it's a diesel, it's unlikely to be US - unless it's a conversion?

If it is US/110v, then you'll need to change the fridge element, battery charger and RCD. You might also want to look at putting more normal European-style power hookup and socket in.
