Your fridge would work for a short period before it drains your battery. If I'm not mistaken, you may have a 3-way fridge where it could work on 12VDC, LP Gas, or 120VAC.
your outlets will only work on shore power (plugged in to external power) unless you install a Inverter. not to be confused with the typical converter in most pups. The converter in most trailers will take 120VAC in and charge the battery, supply power to all 120VAC components, and convert down to 12VDC for other components (lights, water pump, furnace control board, etc)
Check out the list of 12V vs 120V systems on Page 84/85. its a generic list but you could pull applicable items from it.
