switch it too LP, maybe you have enough voltage, you can keep the batteries charged

should only be drawing 3-4amps for the fridge heating element

what else in the house is on that same circuit, the cord is plugged into

did you use 16ga cord ?

a good 12ga cord should allow things to work
I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !

There's too much drop in your drop cord.

What drwwicks says. It basically means that you're trying to draw too much from that long of a cord.

Anyway you can move the RV closer to the outlet?

Is the electric water heater off? Are the batteries charged?
