Yeah, those won't draw much. RV refrigerators and water pumps are designed to be as easy on the power as possible.
The other stuff, the cell phones & laptops, hardly draw anything at all. My DC computer that monitors the system at the cabin only detects cell phones plugged in and charging when there's 3 or more plugged in at once.
While you've got everything gutted, I would convert all your lighting to LED. They're brighter and draw the barest fraction of the juice compared to the old school incandescent bulbs, and your batteries will thank you for it. They even make the outside flood lights in LED now, too, and they're far superior in every way.
Also, there's some really cool outlets out nowadays that have built-in USB charger ports, which is handy in confined spaces like RVs - then you don't need those adapters hanging out getting caught on things.
