I kept our Dutchmen and our Springdale plugged in 24 x 7 at home with just an orange construction style electric cord (100 ft) that you'd buy at any Home Depot. Don't know what guage it is, but it did just fine. I kept the batteries charged and the refrigerator operational. We also were adequate for watching television and keeping cell phones plugged in when we slept in it.
Well, when we got our Outback, I installed a 30 amp plug on the side of the garage and purchased 2 - 30 amp RV cords so we can run the air-conditioner and microwave at the same time when driveway camping now.
But if all you want to do is keep the refer operational, I think any construction style extension cord would do. Don't run the air-conditioner with it. It may power up the air conditioner, but the cord will get very hot too. Not good. But no problems just running your circuit board and refer.
