Fridge on or off when stored?

What is your friend been smoking?

Turning them off long term will not hurt them at all. Think of all those folks who put their campers in storage over the winter months, sometimes 4-6 months at a time. Yet, when they get ready to use them again, they never have problems.

Turning it off for long term will not hurt anything. And running them 24x7x365 will not hurt anything either. Do what is convenient for you, and how often you use your camper.

We keep our Refrigerator on 24x7x365, except in the coldest of the winter months. We park the camper at home and use it at home every day. Except for the coldest months, we sleep in it every night, use the water, electric, propane every day.

And then, in the past, we have also had to shut it up over cold winter months for several months at a time too. Neither affected the refrigerator.

Do what is most convenient for your needs and don't give it another thought. Enjoy your camper ... when camping and at home!

We turn ours off, just like everything else in there.

We have a 96 Southwind with the original refrigerator. I usually turn it off when not being used. It just sat for over a year turned off.

I turned it on about two weeks ago, it works as it always does. Water in the freezer is frozen solid, the frige is about 35 degrees.

Some leave them on all the time, some don't.

I turn ours off. Look at all of the RV stored in storage yards with no electricity, they're not going bad sitting there.

Keep the friend, lose his/her advice.

so the fridges that sit for years will go bad being new in warehouses?
