I let it run all weekend. I've been told to turn the fridge upside down for 10 mins then see if it works .

It worked for me in my last van. Just turned it over but never ran it. All the fluids become dormant and settle , so it frees them up

Absorbsion fridges are silent as they don't have a compressor like domestic ones to push the refridgerant around the system, they rely on the liquid inside turning to vapour and rising, it then condenses and trickles back down to start the cycle again. Over time little bits of crud can block the tiny tubes hence turning them upside down often fixes them. If it doesn't work first time, try it again leaving it that way a bit longer.
