Any absorption fridges that do not require 12 volts to run?
Are there any 12 volt LP gas fridges that will run if the 12 volt battery dies, or are all new models dependent on having this?

So if you don't mind owning a fridge that can not shut off the propane when it senses a no flame condition or a high flame condition, then I bet with enough internet searching you'll find something out there with only an old school thermocouple.
Does my water heater have a computer board and require 12 volt power to operate?
Once again it depends on the age/quality of your RV water heater. But yes they have computer boards to control things. Maybe you know it by the name of a circuit board.
My last two water heaters had pilot lights and had to be lit with a open flame. They have NEVER blown me up in the middle of the night. And I don't think they ever will. One was made in 2016 the other in 2017 by companies that are still in business. Nothing scary about pilot light technology whether in a refrigerator, water heater, or furnace. Check out the water heater at home.
