Do you have an awning erected on the side of the van and if so are the fridge vents on the same side?
If so then make sure there is ventilation in the awning because if the fridge gets too hot it is likely to shut down to lack of ventilation which makes me think why it only operates for around 5 minutes on both gas and electric.

Sounds as if the coolant could be leaking out. You need to check underneath, can you see any brown liquid. If coolant is leaking then fridge is usually beyond economical repair.
