Every time we try to cool the fridge by switching it over to use the propane, it just continues to beep. It shows the rain drop icon so we know it is not using electric, but it does not cool. Is there some trick to this? Or, has anyone else had this problem before?

What is your RV? That will help with offering suggestions as to what to do to solve your problem.
The obvious things, do you have gas, is the gas turned on at the refrigerator?

It's a 2016 Voltage toy-hauler 3975.
The refrigerator has a button you can switch between electric or gas. We do have gas and our stove and oven works fine with it.

Is the gas valve turned on at the refrigerator? Do you hear a clicking sound as if the ignitor is trying to fire the gas?

If propane has not been used in a while you may have turn the fridge off after you hear the beeping and then turn it back on. The igniter will only try and light so long and when there is no propane flow it will shut off. Turning the fridge off then on will reset the igniter and it will try to light again. Sometimes I need to do this three times for the fridge to light if it has been sitting a while with the propane off.

Have you ever used the gas to cool the fridge before? As one said if you haven't used propane in awhile light a burner and purge the system some.
Take off the exterior inspection cover and check to see if the gas valve there is shut off. There is also a reset there on most units. (google your model for exact location). Turn off the gas option. While your watching, have someone turn the gas option on and look to see if the igniter is sparking.
Agree with Lilnuts. If it has been more than a few weeks since I have used my propane tanks I always light a burner on the stove as that helps clear out the propane line. I had to turn my fridge on and off three times the last time I used it to get the propane working. Once it started up I was fine the entire time switching between gas and electric on my last trip.
You should hear clicking and even the sound of the furnace lighting inside but for sure outside at the inspection cover.
Burp the system, light all 3 stove burners for 60 seconds and that should do it.
