Not unless you have a long extension cord.

To run the reefer on 110 volts on the roll you'll need a generator or the Van to be plugged in.

To have it run on 12 volts you'll need an auxillary battery hooked up.

Not 120 V but it should run on 12 V when the engine is running. No auxiliary battery needed for 12 V while the engine is running.

Oops--

Not on the roll, but once your parked you'll need the extra battery to have the reefer run on 12 volts for sure.
