RV fridge, store on or shut down?
I looked around the site pretty thoroughly and tried searching but have come up empty on this subject and I ask for your kind help.
I've had two RV fridges die on me, one I'd left running during storage and the other I'd shut down, so I'm a bit leery about which is considered best.
Presently the RV fridge in my converted cargo is a 3 way salvaged from a wrecked truck camper, an older model Dometic with the manual peizo sparked pilot light and 120 AC and 12 volt DC heaters. It works very well and fits the cabinetry and plumbing I made for it so I don't want it to die like the others, if I can help it.
What do the experts think is best for wintering and storage, leave the fridge on active 120 volt service, or shut it down between use?
