Are there one fan or two ?
Refridge is in the slide with two vents
Do you have to pull refridge or inside vents from outside coach
 
What brand & model of refrigerator? Norcold or Dometic and what model?

Do not jump to the conclusion there is a fan problem either. Can you describe the problem a bit more? Doe sit not cool on both gas and electric? Is it room temperature or just not as cold as you would like it. Both freezer and fridge or just one of them?
 
It does not get cold at all on electric or gas. It is a Norcold I do not know the model number at this time.

Thank you
 
If it doesn't work at all in either mode, the likely culprit is a loss of 12v power to the circuit board. Does the control panel on the front light up and indicate Auto/Gas/AC? 

If it works somewhat but does not get very cold, maybe 45-50 degrees instead of 35-38 degrees, then the possibilities are greater.  There is a temperature sensor on the cooling fins at the back wall of the fridge and that may have gotten moved or its wire disconnected/broken. It could also be that the controller circuit board simply isn't responding to the temperature sensor. Or the cooling unit itself could have failed, though that would be rare on a 2005.

Is this a sudden problem or has it been getting worse for weeks or months?

Sorry to keep asking for details, but subtle symptoms are key to making a diagnosis.
 
The model number should be on the inside of the refrigerator. If it's a 4 door model it will be on the right inside wall.
