Somewhat subjective battery question...UPDATE
As the subject says, I have a subjective battery question. I know there won't be a definitive answer here, but looking for your gut feel. I'm going camping this weekend, and then again next weeken...

Yes to all regarding breakers. I guess I should have said that I was planning on pulling the fuse for LP detector. The fire and CO are individual battery operated. My radio does not have a clock, so I don't think it pulls parasitically. However, it would be easy enought to pull that fuse too.
Unfortunately, since it's only a couple of days until my first weekend trip, a week long dry run is too late. Guess I should have posted this a week ago. Lol.
Don't have time to find dry ice, but I can probably put a couple bags of regular ice in a plastic tray before leaving. That would help.
Even if I take the food home in a cooler, I don't mind. My main concern is:
-I don't want to kill the batteries by running them dead. That's most important to me.
-It would be nice to have a cold, even if empty fridge when I arrive back.
Thanks for the replies. I guess in hind site, I could turn the batteries off before leaving, and then I might be able to see if I can get the park owners to turn my batteries back on a day or so before I arrive. The disconnect is located outside of the box they're locked in. They'd have to hang around and make sure they heard the fridge fire up. Just trying not to impose on them too much, since they're letting me leave it there at no charge. Of course I'd have to take left over food home, which is not a big deal.
