It's not uncommon with absorption fridges if the temperature is high. They struggle. I fitted a fan kit to our last one which helped. Ours was only getting to about 10 degrees in a hot day but cooled down properly overnight.That was on mains. We had 10amp supply.
They do seem better on gas but use a lot.

We also bought a 12v compressor fridge which comes with a mains adaptor.
Ours is an Alpicool. It's excellent we used that for stuff which needs to be kept around 5 degrees. You can set the required temperature on them.
Before I fitted the fan kit we had a mains fan in the awning on our camp kitchen blowing into the lower fridge vents!
If it works OK overnight you could try freezing some ice packs in the freezer compartment and putting them in the main bit in the mornings.

Prepare for fridge free living.
Buy fresh food the day you intend to use it.
Have dried/tinned food for non shopping days.
Dispose of any food before it becomes dodgy.
Get an insulated cool bag for food items until you are ready to use them, take it shopping.
Learn to enjoy beer and wine as it comes.

If the gas does run out get a Campingaz lightweight stove as backup that runs on Campingaz CV470 cans. Ths would be the Campingaz Twister Stove.
Find it at Decathlon and bricolage stores.
