It's a slighlty problem spec.
The "household" part of a campervan needs to meet the standards required to be connected to the mains. Even a "temporary" installation. The connectors on ovens, fridges etc. will be designed for stationary use at the higher power of the mains.
The fact it isn't powered when driving and is inside the body of the vehicle makes the decision easier. If you chose to unplug your microwave, take it for a day out on the train, go home and ding your tea no one would get electrocuted or stuck halfway from nowhere. The household spec is fine. If you wanted to heat your food while driving things would get more interesting which is why railway carriages and airliners have their own specs.
Carrying whitegoods round unpowered isn't doing them any good, but there are enough campervans and canal boats out there to suggest it isn't a massive problem.
