TV, all you need is about 50 watts or so.
Fridge, use it on propane, the same 50 watt panel that runs the TV will more than cover the 12v necessary for the fridge. If, for some strange reason, you have a residential electric refrigerator in your TC it will probably use somewhere around 2 kWh per day. This would require 400 to 750 watts depending on where in the country you were and what the weather was like.
Air Conditioning, not going to happen. If you had a huge class A and filled the whole roof with panels and the entire basement with batteries you could do it but just barely.
