The other thing that affects the on/off run time is the temperature inside the van. The hotter the van gets the more the fridge runs. I think that most units amp ratings are at 72 degrees air temperature. So a inside van temperature of 100, with the windows closed, will make the unit work harder.
You can also make sure that there is plenty of space around the unit for airflow to the condenser intake and exhaust grilles.
