How much 12 V power does the fridge use?/How long house battery last? And if this was a issue could hook a small power supply to that circuit.
May as well plug in the main cord. Even the lights will not be a issue to get set in for the evening.
Some are not reading everything. Stated he has all electric rig which means an RR. We have used 15 amp, when air conditioner is not required. We do not have all electric but do have an RR. Easy to do. You probably won't be able to run water heater. You might get away with microwave oven. Definitely no AC as that might push over the 15 amps if inverter/charger(converter) and fridge all came on at the same time. Set your EMS input settings to below 15 amps. All of this will keep your batts up and RR running. Agree with throwing breakers for non essential systems to prevent accidental use.
To use MW and maybe AC you should consider turning other systems off. You might be able to.
