The switch with pilot light is most likely a control for the electric mode on the water heater.

A replacement cooling unit for your Dometic frig model is around $1200 just for the parts, so replacing the whole unit is likely a better path. My coach had the residential 23 cu ft refrigerator and I really liked it. Of course, the coach had a large inverter, separate battery bank for the inverter and a diesel backup generator as well.

Do you do so much camping away from hookups that you need the propane refrigeration, or is it just a preference? For fire safety, the non-propane units are my strong preference as a majority of RV appliance fires are traced to those Norcold and Dometic units...
