Good work on that so far. Good news your converter is ok.
Plug the fridge into another outlet via extension cord to see if that fridge outlet in the outside is guilty.
Don't know why the televisions going from standby to on trips the GFCI. Are the TVs into some sort of fancy receiver complicated thing that itself is the problem?
Can you unplug each Tv set and try it individually in other outlets and check for GFCI?
Good news is I found a simple reset for my fridge. It appears it blew because of a "power surge" (happened when I first plugged in at home). Followed instructions to fix that and it reset, and worked fine on the same non-GFCI outlet from the front of the house.
TV's are stock 6 year old Jensens that I have used off the garage GFCI for the last 6 years.
It appears just pulling any significant amperage (say above 1/2 amp) blows.
Now I could just put it all back together and run it when I need to (getting ready to go camping or coming back) on the non-GFCI house plug, but it does worry me why all of a sudden the problem.
Plus these things gnaw at me as to "wtf"?
