Your fridge will use over 200 watts on 120v for the heating element
How much power does the crock pot use
Total the two, does it exceed 400w

Now the big question, is your RV a trailer or a motor home
Will your tow vehicle wiring supply 30+ amps of 13v power to the trailer to maintain the battery and keep the inverter on

Frankly I would keep the fridge on propane while driving, and use the inverter only for the crock pot
