REEFER: Common Practices
What do most RVers do....keep the reefer cold between trips or turn it off and empty all the beer and condiments out until the next trip and turn the reefer back on?

- Empty between trips and turn reefer off. But I guess that depends on how often you go out.
- We frequently use / work on our TT when it's parked at home so I normally keep it stocked with beverages and keep it on (during camping months).
- Before I started full-time I always left it on.
- We go out every 3-4 weeks starting in May. We turn it off, wipe it down and leave it open between trips. The frig looks and smells new.
- We have left it on. Keeping it on keeps or at least reduces rust on the outside of the cooling unit.
I give it a good cleaning before every trip. - We turn it off and wipe it clean between trips.
- TT goes into a storage lot when not in use. No electricity at the storage lot. Last storage lot did have electric available but was an extra charge... TT was not plugged in there either so fridge was turned off and battery disconnect used.
Currently, refrigerator gets emptied, turned off and both doors are open to dry out and not mold. Battery disconnect used. - We are with the group that turns it off and cleans it between trips. We keep the door propped open.
