Most stock Jaycos with an RV refrigerator (absorbtion) will not have the inverter feeding the AC side of the refrigerator like models that come from the factory with a residential (compressor) refrigerator. Was the inverter added later and wired so as to supply the refrigerator AC outlet?
If it was wired like that hypothetically the inverter would run the refrigerator for a while on AC until the battery or batteries lost enough voltage to cause the inverter to shut down. Unless you have a big battery bank that might not be very long. Then it would likely swich to propane. But the problem still is voltage, since even on propane the refrigerator "needs" 12-volt current to operate the control circuits. But the inverter just ran them down!
I have never seen a Jayco with a RV refrigerator wired that way from the factory.
