They say vibration stirs stuff (contaminate) in the Freon and will harm it if plugged in. I find it hard to believe but just thought I ask what others do.
While traveling we just leaved it closed up and since its 110v its not running, until we get to the campground.
I take it the people who are telling you this don't have a residential refrigerator. Like I have said just leave it plugged into your inverter. When you are plugged into shore power it will pass the power through and when you unplug it will pull from the batteries. Your alternator will keep the batteries up when traveling. Once the refrigerator and contents are cooled down it doesn't take much power to keep it cool.
