We own a 2003 Roadtrek and use it like a few weeks here and there and a weekend here and there from june to sept incl so 4 months .
My question is what do other people do ( advice ) switch the fridge on in June and run it the whole time 4 months . What is better to ensure that the fridge will last a long time and what works for U ??
Other option is to plug it in the day before a planned trip so that would mean cooling down the fridge maybe 12 times over 4 the summer >>
I turn it on a day or so before I'm planning to leave. Unless you are planning to leave food in the fridge, I'm not sure why you would want to leave it on all the time. I don't think there is a negative impact by turning it on and off.
Our normal routine. 48 hours before we leave refer on. 24 hours before load food. Day of, depart. But we also leave our trailer plugged in 24/7 at home.
