Ref working without batteries

I need to leave my 5th/W in storage for a week, If I shut the batteries off will the ref. still run on propane. Need to turn off the batteries so the carbon monoxide don't kill them.. Has anyone done that before.

  • Do you mean the carbon monoxide detectors? If that’s your worry unplug it. Carbon monoxide only kills things that breath.
  • Assuming you meant that as a question and not a statement, no, it wont work without 12V.
  • Short answer, nope. If I turned the battery disconnect off on our Montana the fridge died even on propane. YMMV.
