Batteries are brand new also, so I just use the propane stove and the perculator.

You've got something else going on. I can run a residential fridge and a college dorm fridge in the outdoor kitchen all night long on my inverter and have no issues. That is also while charging a couple iPhones overnight as well.
I have four 6V batteries but I have them connected with a Disconnect Switch so I can switch between the two banks, have both banks connected or disconnect them all. I was boondocking last week for one night and had the original two 6v house batteries running the two fridges overnight without a problem. The coach was built in April 2019 so the batteries are ~18 months old.
Your batteries should not be dying in 10 minutes being on the Inverter running a fridge and a TV. You could have a loose cable / bad connection or the cable run between the Inverter and the batteries is too long / the wiring is not the right gauge and causing a large voltage drop.
