This has me confused. I am not aware of an RV refrigerator that has both a compressor and gas absorption cooling unit. The ones I am familiar with that use propane and electric heat the gas absorption unit by either the propane flame or an electric heating element. What make and model is the refrigerator?
Travel trailer I must have what they told me wrong then. They said ot was not worth fixing. So I’m not sure of the details.
It is a Norcold 510. It looks as if it’s factory installed.

My first question is, how old is the unit and who are "they" who told you it was not worth fixing? Many an RV tech doesn't know how to do in-depth troubleshooting of a refrigerator or air conditioner. In addition, plenty of RV shops pay a commission to their techs if they sell a new appliance to encourage them to do so. Based on what you have said thus far, it is quite possible that your refrigerator is not worth the cost to repair as labor charges will eat up any savings very quickly. If you are interested in doing some troubleshooting yourself, there is a copy of the service manual for your refrigerator at Bryant RV Service website that you can download.
The unit looks like factory installed so it’s likely 16 years old. Thanks for the link I’ll definitely check it out!
Veterans training is their big push.
I will have to check this out for when I get out. I'd considered getting some certificates from a school for welding as a way to make some money on the road if I need it. The RV fridge repair just sounds like another tool for the belt to help sustain my trip when I buy a RV and transition to full time living.
