It's normal for an older absorption fridge to take 8–12 hours or more to cool down, but two days is long. If it's weak on propane, clean the flue with a brush, make sure the baffle is in place, and clean the burner and orifice. Make sure the van is level when it's running. A Valterra A10-2618VP cooling fan helps in warm weather. If it still struggles on all three modes after that, the cooling unit is getting tired.
