This is what we do also.

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 turn it off and wipe it clean between trips.

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.

Before I started full-time I always left it on.

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).

Empty between trips and turn reefer off. But I guess that depends on how often you go out.
