We are concerned that the woodwork seems discolored (dried out?) in units we have seen here in Yuma. We also have a residential refrigerator. I thought it was better for the fridge to be left on. We just want to maintain the unit as best we can. Thank you for your helpful posts. So far, no one leaves the electricity on...
Don't leave the frig on. First, it will run and run with no thermal block (food) in it to help maintain cold. Second, it will add to the heat in the unit. We also have a Park Model that for our winters in Mesa. We do the same as mentioned before, turn everything off, put jugs of water in sinks and bathtubs, windows covered with 'black out curtains' (material at JoAnn Fabrics), cover furniture with old sheets, clean out all food, turn of frig, turn off power and water and go. Come fall we reverse the process for the winter. Woodwork is going to dry out - that is the nature of living in the desert with low humidity. Remember, it is a 'dry' heat.
