That is an RCBO, earth leakage trip ,you have a faulty kettle or fridge or perhaps a fault on the wiring to those appliance try each one separately to determine which one is causing it.
It has nothing to do with the wattage, the figure of 0.o3A refers to the fault current rating to trip the breaker.

A 6A supply should be more than adequate to run a fridge and a low wattage travel kettle if that is all you have on at the same time!

dont forget the battery charger will be on too, which would take it over the 1000 watts for 6 amps

That is low for a UK hookup!
Not uncommon though, as I have to stay away from certain sites as they only have 6A EHU, such as Tuckers Grave Inn near Bath, a nice pub with lots of ciders and free entertainment. They are supposed to be upgrading their supply to 10A, however, Covid delayed it, and it would cost quite a bit to upgrade. The local V-dub club had a camp out there last weekend, however, I was not able to join them as I was away camping.

6 amps should be enough to run the fridge and the kettle; i don't think the charger would be working all the time as the battery should be fully charged ( I'm not an electrician!). We have stayed on sites with 6Amp supply often and are always conscious never to have two 'heating' appliances on together and have never had a problem apart from once when the kettle was the culprit and needed to be replaced.

1000W at 240 Volts is only app 4.17 amps.
A 6 amp RCBO won't trip a just over 6 amps there is a considerable margin over 6 amps before they trip.
