Your fridge really needs to be gas or mains (230volts) when stationary as the amount of power used on the 12 volt setting will flatten an average sized leisure battery in a matter of 4 - 6 hours. However, 12 volts is OK whilst moving because the battery is being charged by the alternator.
TV on a camper.....you could buy an invertor which steps 12 volts upto 230volt mains but again, you battery won't last long. Small LCD 12 volt TV's are best as there is no power loss from using an invertor and they generally use much less power, less than 5 amps perhaps.

Give us a little more detail...what exactly are you trying to do.
