This is what I'm thinking as well. Our fridge gets turned on a few days before our first trip, gets turned off when I winterize. Uses a lot of energy to cool down, vs. relatively little to stay cold if unopened.

I just have to load some fresh food and we're ready to go.
Plus, since ours takes about 24 hrs to get cold and stabilize, and I would be forever forgetting to turn it on the day before we go somewhere, it is pretty much a necessity, or else we'd not be able to make use of it.
