It will work either way around, but normally wired with live to the right, viewed from the front.

Just refitting the interior in my 82 Westfalia T25.
When I rewire the mains socket in the cupboard that the fridge plugs into does it matter which way round the live and neutral are wired? Its obvious where the earth wire goes, not sure on the others.
Its a german import, so its a european 2 pin plug and socket.
Cheers

Take this opportunity to change it for a 2 gang UK plug (preferably a waterproof one (under the sink etc..)
Then all you need to do is chop off the EU fridge plug and fit a UK one (or use an adaptor if you want?) and you have an extra discrete 230v socket.
