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...

As has been said yes you must have house batteries on to use fridge on propane.
The batteries operate the electronic control circuit on the fridge and are required for operation...

We have 2000 Mirada 340mbs so very familiar with what you have.


Sorry, I must have skimmed through the responses too fast, I didn't feel like I had a definitive answer as to whether the batteries absolutely had to be on to pre cool the fridge. Thank you.
