Yes. The 12 volt supply line probably has a bad connection somewhere.
Before tugging and pulling on things you need to get a couple of voltage measurements. Start at the back of the fridge first because access is usually easy. Write the measurements down. Turn the heater on and measure again. If the voltage is going real low you have a bad connection.
I assume you have actually measured voltage right on the battery first.
Once you have established it is a low voltage issue, which is has to be. Then visually check your wires at the battery area. A loose or dirty connection can cause all kinds of misery. Follow the negative leads to where they go and see if there is some rust issues. Clean them until they are shiny.
Twelve volts has very little push and will not go through bad connections.
