All 1200s have two fans and you should be able to hear them running from outside. Unfortunately you have to remove the unit to get to them and the snap switch that turns them on. A 120V fan blowing in the the outside vent if you are parked will get it to work.
With a platform almost as high as the bottom of the refrigerator you can slide it out and turn to access the back. Four screws top and bottom plus a couple on the bottom from the outside hold it in. Unhook the power, water, and propane and with someone prying on the bottom while you pull on the inside...first inch is the hardest it will slide out. You can run a pair of wires from the snap switch down so you can manually turn them on...if both fans are not working it's usually the snap switch. I added a third 12V fan at the bottom to help the air flow.
Before removing check the amount of gap with a mirror, between the coils and the outside wall...less is better and adding a baffle while out is something many have done as the unit was never installed correctly and a 1200 needs all the help it can get.
I doubt your thermistor is bad and there is a procedure where you can have it show the temp of the fins on the control display.
