First off, Welcome to the forums! A couple of hints to keep the curt remarks down and help the folks on here answer questions are to include the make and model of the appliance or whatever part of your rig that is giving you problems. Almost every appliance is connected to the house batteries. There are house battery(ies) and a chassis battery. State if you checked your batteries and the SOC or state of charge. Most common is to buy a digital multimeter and learn how to use it. Your fridge as you now know is controlled by a 12DC board. The heater can be either 120VAC or propane. Need to check that. Most of us when we turn the propane on, bleed the air out of the lines by turning on the stovetop burners and using a match to light it. Turn that off and then follow the instructions on lighting the frige. It may take awhile to bleed the rest of the air out of the line. If you can't get the fridge lit, check to make sure that there is 12VDC to the board. Mine has a terminal strip where the DC and the AC from the R connects to wires going to the edge connector for the control board. If you have DC check on the board there is usually a glass fuse, there should be power on both sides of the fuse.
Follow the same procedure to see if you have AC power. As mentioned if you don't have the RV hooked up to a !20 DAC outlet in your home, you won't have any in your rig.
Grounds can be a problem but living here in So Cal, we usually don't have as many as folks from rainy or snowy areas.
If you do this and it still doesn't work, check back and note what you have checked and that you have both AC and DC power and gas and the stove works. The more info you give us the faster and better the suggestions will be.
