There is an oil sump at the bottom of the RV compressor; the oil does circulate throughout the system with the refrigerant but eventually returns to the sump.

The only time oil needs to be added is if a component is replaced or there is a known oil leak, the FSM often gives the amount of oil estimated to be in any one component and shows how to fabricate dipstick to check the oil level in the compressor.
