To answer some of the questions:
We turn the fridge off when we drop the RV off at our storage location and empty the fridge, taking the cold stuff home. I also turn off the propane tanks. I don't have shore power at the storage location, so I can't power the fridge or a fan.
I can understand leaving something such as newspaper to absorb the water, but won't it still evaporate during the week or two between camping trips?
We follow the same practice as you. Shut everything down including the battery disconnect switch, and leave the fridge doors propped open. Any initial condensation from the warm, humid air hitting the cold freezer/fridge is completely evaporated by the next time we head out. Never a problem with mildew, either.
