Why would it " really affect the life of long term life of the fridge. " :H
There are NO moving parts
Absorption fridges have been in commercial use since the 1920s (Electrolux)
Started being used in RVs in the 1960
Only real problem is when stationary and not level.....
I turned my fridge ON in Nov 2006.....
Only time it has been OFF is the 3-4 times a year when we defrost it.
5th wheel is currently parked on MY FHU RV site on my property ready to go, be used as guest house and more importantly as my 'man cave' (when working in yard and it gets hot, monsoon lets loose or I just want a break---pop a cold one out of fridge and watch some TV)
What 'long term affect' does your friend 'think' will happen :H
