Check the heating element for power there.
It will be located about where the propane burner is, attached to one of the tubes, above the burner. You should see two wires going to it.
Put a test meter on the contacts, or wires attached to the element. You may have to probe the insulation on the wires. BE CAREFUL!! Don't zap yourself! Or turn the power off and make connection with the test meter and then turn power back on.
If you have 110 volts there, then the element is burned out and needs to be replaced.
If no 110 volts there, trace the circuit back to connectors and check each side of the connectors for power.
If you have power on one side but not the other, the connector joint is bad.
Also, check the obvious - any fuses that may be there, and also make sure you have shore power supplying the breaker that supplies the fridge.
