When i had a 3 way fridge (which could accidentally drain batteries running off 12v. ) and towed with a 'HOT' GM, i disconnected until i installed an isolator.

I now have a 2 way fridge without any chance of accidental 12v switching and a 2016 GM 1500 Silverado which is always HOT . I feel safe to leave this combo plugged in overnight.
