I'm looking to buy a multimeter, as my rig's refrigerator doesn't work on electric but still works on gas. There is power to its outlet (of course, that would be too easy of a fix..) and I know my ne...

Good points above. Most RVs should not be probing a 120V or 240V due to the potential danger. Especially a pedestal while holding the metal cover open with one hand or standing in a damp area due to a nearby faucet or drain.
well, since there are lots of 120V circuits in an RV, and based on issues that have come up from posts, 120V power issues are common enough to need troubleshooting at times, brush up on best practices for safety when working on line circuits.
And make sure that ANY test device you use on such circuits carries at least a CATII 300V rating, CATIII 600V is better.
That will provide some safety in case of a mistake.
Also, I've recommended numerous times to plug into a 20A GFCI plug and turn various appliances on/off to check for a ground fault condition. Do this at least once if not on some periodic basis.
