Hi Mitch,
There was a company called Servel (I think) which produced 120 volt ammonia cycle fridges. They could also be powered by propane but weight a ton. I doubt that they ever made an RV model.
Perhaps it is a residential fridge with a propane generator?
All "heat cycle" (i.e. no compressor) fridges use some sort of combination of gases (hydrogen or helium).
There are peltier solid state cooling plates that can cool about 20 degrees lower than the ambient. They are often 12 volt and consume lots of power. In theory one could "cascade" them to get down to temperatures, but it would be Tres expensive.

They say that they have a residential refrigerator that runs on both gas and electric. Can that be right? If so, then there is no helium or ammonia, right? And no need to worry about being level?
Thanks for your replies.
