"Nice"? :h That climate control is a 12 vdc device so if you're running on battery and not shore power it's not a matter of being "nice" if you can turn it off but rather a necessity. You haven't provided any information at all about your particular fridge so read your owner's manual to determine if it even has this so-called "feature" and if it does how to turn it off when dry camping. If it can't be turned off then you'd be wise to add a switch yourself so you can turn it off. Regardless, minimum voltage at which the fridge would no longer work is so low, ~ 10.5 volts, that you'd have destroyed your battery anyway as you typically don't want to draw any deep cycle battery down any more than ~ 50% or ~ 12 volts on a regular basis if you expect to get any long term use out of that battery. :R
