my bet would be that a spider or 5 has made a nice home in the burner and vents of both the fridge and water heater, thus oxygen has not been getting in and thus no combustion. also the trusty (but major PITA at times) electrolux fridge likes to be almost perfectly level to go on gas
my advice get the gas systems serviced

Might sound daft - but did you take the water heater external cover off? Also, a strong breeze in the wrong direction can be enough for your water heater to not work on gas

Have got mr caravans coming to look at van tomorrow, as it's now on my drive completely level but still no gas to water heater or fridge, did remember to take winter cover off too. Hoping it's not too expensive. Thankyou for all suggestions will keep you updated x
