Refrigerator leave on or off during non use times?
I have always left mine on and usually the wife has things in there ready for a trip what do you do? Is it better to leave them on or off when stored?

Have left mine on, except for the occasional defrost, for years at a time on shore power. The expected life time based on my reading is 7 to 10 years if turned off after the season, and 10 to forever if left running the entire time. Longest I ever heard of an absorption refer running continuously on gas was 70 odd years in a cabin.
As previously mentioned, leaving it on most of the time keeps the coils warm and dry. Turning it off causes condensation on the coils which can cause tiny pinholes of rust to form that over time develop into rusted through holes letting the chemicals escape and causing a dead refer. Dun dun duuunnnnn.
