If the camper is powered fine with refrigerator off and trips GFCI when you start the fridge, it is clear indicator that the fridge has small AC leak and GFCI is protecting you from being "link in AC leak".
I would pull the panel on the back and plug the fridge directly to the cord to confirm, but full testing would be a case for good electrician.
Still what you can do is check for wires on fridge rubbing against the frame and other suspicious elements.
Garage circuits in CA should be GFCI as well. No harm plugging into 20 or 15 amps as camper has its own breakers.

HOW to you know this? Lots of RV's have the refer connected to a GFCI outlet/breaker. If he determines the GFCI (where ever it is) ONLY trips when he starts the refer on 120, the odds are the Refer 120 element is defective. NOT to shock or electrocute you, but has a imbalance between the White(neutral) and Hot(Black). THAT is what a GFCI senses and trips for. There is NO ground circuit on the refer 120 Heat element.
