Inverter use
In the new rv's the refrigerators are connected in some way to an inverter. Can the TV also be attached to this same inverter?

Maybe.
If the refrigerator is Plugged in to a traditional outlet (most likely) then the outlet is most likely energized by the inverter. If the TV is anywhere close to the outlet then a simple extension cord will get the job done. A test should be done with the refrigerator compressor running and the TV on to make sure you do not overload the circuit. With a modern TV I think it unlikely that would happen but the RV manufacturer may have just put in a large enough inverter to run the fridge with no reserve.
