As others have said, the small hockey puck style adapters suck. They are limited on current and once they get hot you see the symptoms you got....even with a good extension cord. Get a dog bone (short wire) type. They cost more for a reason. Also get a heavy gauge extension cord AND run the fridge on LP. You will be good to go then and can run the heater at max.
Just an aside, when plugged in prepping for a trip I have the batteries ON and the fridge on auto (if I'm not running electric heat on max), LP turned on just in case the power fails. I learned this after having a cord get kicked out and the fridge quit due to no AC (LP turned off). Fortunately nothing got too warm but I learned a lesson.
