Fridge on or off during storage?
I have seen both sides; some keeping the doors open to avoid mold, some say never turn the Norcold off, if you can help it. What say all you knowledgeable folks?

Sounded high to me too. I went online and the fridge in my coach costs about $5 per mo. Energy calculator
That calculator is for standard compressor fridges, not RV-style absorption fridges which are quite a bit less energy efficient. The heating element is typically around 300W, and on for the majority of the day. 150 or 200 kWh per month is in the right ballpark for an RV fridge, which could easily be around $30 a month depending on your electric rates.
