I'm going to guess you're looking at a SS Whirlpool residential model since as VKB posted the absorption type normally has the controls on the exterior front and can be completely shut down via the controls.

This isn't so much an RV thing but how residential models are being designed with the only way to shut down is to unplug. When you think about it how often does the average homeowner actually turn off a frost free fridge? Once a year to clean it? Moving day? Never?

Anyway, you probably can't unplug without removing the fridge so your only option might be is to trip the power breaker. Which brings you to the next step in confusion as the breaker for the fridge is probably not part of the house breaker panel and more likely on the inverter or a sub breaker panel the inverter powers. You'll need to dig a bit deeper to determine how your coach is built or another Challenger owner will post exactly where the breaker is.

And don't forget to keep the doors slightly open otherwise, only need an inch or so, or you could have a mildew problem next time you use the coach.
