caravan gas fridge won't go cold?

I have an old caravan, (1970's), with a gas only fridge which won't go cold, the pilot light works fine and burns blue but the fridge won't cool down, it has been standing unused for a long time, I have taken the fridge out of it's recess and turned it upside down which usually cures most fridges but no luck.
Does the fridge need re-gassing and is this possible still ?, any ideas on this problem would be much appreciated.

hi the fridge has got to be 100% levil and put a themomitor in it it takes up to 48 hr to cool right down just try the them friges dont need regassing cos they dont has gas in its a gel

sounds like the gas has escaped from your system over the years, possible to get regassed but probably, depending on requirements, best to buy a new fridge
