If the refrigerator uses a heat source (e.g.. a propane fueled gas flame or electrical heater) as the energy source for cooling, it is an absorption type refrigerator. As far as I know, all 2-way (propane or 120 AC) or 3 way (propane, 120 V AC, or 12 V DC) RV refrigerators are of the absorption type...and that includes both the older models (like your '87) as well as those sold today.
Non-absorption refrigerators, be they of the thermoelectric type or of the compressor type, must have a source of electrical power...they can not use propane gas as an energy source.
