I recently had a problem with my Dometic fridge, it would not operate on gas. Read somewhere that the thermocouple is very low voltage and requires a good earth connection to complete it circuit. I followed this up.
Found the gas burner held in with one screw undoing this and easing the burner forward (gas connection still in place) found some scale on the matting faces between the burner and the main body. Cleaned these with a bit of emery paper, put back the burner and tightened up the screw and it went through he start up and the flame stayed on so it looks like this has cured it for me.
Need to do a long term test. If that does not work other issues are soot on the burner causing the flame to not burn cleanly and the thermocouple failing and needing replacing, if it is the thermocouple in most cases it will require removal of the fridge to get at the control valve.
