What to expect from a fridge repair
RV refrigerators are either absorption units that run on propane and electric or residential-style compressor fridges. Absorption units need proper venting and level parking to work right. If yours won't cool, the first thing a tech checks is the burner, the flue, and the cooling unit itself. Sometimes it's a simple fix like a clogged orifice or a bad thermistor. Other times the cooling unit is shot and needs replacing. Ask if the part is in stock before you haul the rig in, because ordering a cooling unit can take days. Some shops can test your fridge and tell you right away if it's worth fixing.
Mobile techs versus shop visits
Two of the four local businesses are mobile techs, which means they drive to your RV. That's handy if your fridge is full of food and you can't move the rig. Mobile work is usually best for diagnostics and minor repairs. If the fridge needs to come out or the cooling unit needs replacement, a shop with a bay is often the better call. Gatesville RV & Motorsports handles fridge work and has a parts department. American Vintage Trailers, with a 4.8 rating from 25 reviews, works on Airstreams and other RVs, so they see a lot of older units. Call ahead and describe your fridge's symptoms. A good tech can often tell you over the phone whether it's a mobile job or a shop job.
Warranty and parts questions
Only one of the four local shops does warranty work, so if your fridge is still under warranty, start there. Have your warranty paperwork ready and ask about pre-approval before any work begins. For older fridges, parts can be the hard part. Some shops keep common parts like thermistors and fuses on hand, but cooling units are often special order. Ask about the lead time and whether a deposit is required. If you're handy, you can sometimes save money by removing the fridge yourself and bringing it in, but check with the shop first. And if you're heading out on a trip soon, book ahead, especially in spring when everyone is getting ready for the road.

What's the first thing to check when my RV fridge stops cooling?
