Put battery on "storage" while priming fridge?

Hi there. I'm a relatively new RV owner and I LOVE it! 2002 Coachmen Mirada 340 MBS Just have a quick question about getting my fridge ready a day or so before we leave. Should I keep the RV...

Engine (chassis) batteries are ISOLATED from each other.

I turn my house batteries off - when in storage.

In storage I am connected to shore power - so even with the house batteries turned off - the charger/converter supplies 12vdc to the "house" (and the fridge runs fine, as long as there is shore power).
