easy job once you have the element!

remove fridge , remove straps surrounding the insulation on the vertical tube , insulation is in 2 halfs , seperate it and you will see the hole for the element.

all the fridges are built with 3 way in mind , they just fit 1 or 2 elements as required!

If the 12V is working, just get a 240V to 12V transformer.

You will only need a 10A one,

Then you can have the fridge on 12V via relay when Driving, On hook up when on site and Gas at shows or when no mains about.

And you don't have to touch the fridge.
