Mike, you "might" have a problem connecting to a GFI regardless of load. It seems to affect some motorhomes and not others.
I've never had much luck connecting any RV (owned or rented) to a GFI on front driveway, but never had an issue with same RVs plugged into standard house outlet without GFI. When I researched my problem I found it happens often, so no need to panic. If GFI trips try another outlet first if possible before giving up.
By the way, if you have a residential fridge, don't you also have an inverter and large battery bank? If so, can't you run fridge from batteries overnight assuming batteries are fully charged?
