Is this a new-to-you coach? Has the refer run properly in the past, and this is a new problem? If it used to work fine, and now it doesn't, it's not a ventilation problem unless you have a mouse nest or some other obstruction in the vent, which is doubtful.
If you take the access panel off, you will find a small black box that has a cover held on by a screw. Remove the cover, and you will see some fuses. Check the fuses. I've had your problem two times. Freezer worked great, frige, not so much. First time it was a blown fuse, simple fix. Second time I had to replace the circuit board. Also and easy fix, ordered the board online for about $120, took 5 mins to swap it out.
These units work as designed. If it's worked fine for some time, and now it doesn't, something has changed. And if the freezer works fine, it's not likely to be the cooling unit failing.
