Does the main tv and the one in bedroom work underway? If no then check for tripped cb on invertor. If fridge runs on gas then I don't think the invertor is set up to run fridge.

Usually not, too much draw when parked and not on shore power.

Okay, this may be a dumb simplistic question, but do you have the inverter turned on? On our magnum control, there are two buttons. One turns the converter (charger) on and off and the other turns the inverter on and off. If the inverter is on, you should have two green lights on the panel, one for the charger and one for the inverter.
On edit: I checked the owner's manual for your 2013 LA and it says the inverter only runs the TVs and DVD player.

You do not have a residential refrigerator and therefore your inverter powered circuits are not connected to the refrigerator. You can run your refrigerator on gas, leave it off, or run the generator but the inverter is not involved in your refrigerator operation.

I moved my refrigerator AC feed to the inverter powered circuit. The fridge is rated at 300W on AC, so that's well within the 1000W inverter's capacity.
I ran it in the yard for 1.5 hours, it was drawing almost 30 amps from the house batteries. I'm not planning to use the fridge on inverter power except for traveling. The F-53 has a 175 amp charging system, so it will keep up no problem.

In most cases they put 2 plugs behind the refrigerator, one on the inverter and one that isn't. The one on the inverter should be able to run the refrigerator, the other is for the icemaker. The may have the refrigerator plugged into the outlet not connected to the inverter.
The TV is usually plugged into an outlet that will not work when you are driving. They have wired through a relay that disables it since in most states it is illegal to watch TV while driving. Even if the inverter is on it may not let the TV operate.
