I've got a 96 caribou. Fridge is a 3 way. 120, 12volt or gas.
If set on auto it will switch to 12V when your on the road. Not really the best as house battery won't get a good charge while traveling. I set to just gas and let the LP do its job.
Heater well couple questions. Is the thermostat digital?
I've had both digital and mechanical. If digital make sure display is working. If not replace the AAA battery in the thermostat. If mechanical be patient it will come on. If the fan isn't working make sure the house battery has a charge. If fridge is running off 12V house battery is probably not getting a charge while you are driving. Fridge taking way too much juice.
Just my 2 cents
