Do you keep your refrigerator turned on or off during travel season?
If on & you live in warmer summer climate , do you leave a/c running if you leave fridge on?
We leave ours off but it sure would be nice to have it on with some staple foods in it.

I turn it on a couple days before a trip to get it good and cold before putting anything in it. (We don't carry much food though - we buy it at our destination in order to save weight.)

Shelf stable food in cupboards, and clothes in the bedroom.
Plus a full water tank.
We have a 30 amp plug on the house and leave it plugged in year round. Battery disconnected.
We just need to unplug, switch the batteries on and stop at Safeway for perishable groceries on our way down the road.
AC not on, but roof vents open. If I am working in it I will turn on the AC if needed.

when not in use ours sits in our back yard where it is plugged into 50 amp service .... the only time our frig is turned off is when it needs to be defrosted .... when parked at home we do leave a Create-A-Breeze fan running on low during warm/hot weather, we only use the AC when working in the camper during hot weather

X2. Kept it from molding, especially in the winter. Would turn it on a day or two in advance to cool it off. We always had at least two weeks in between trips and couldn't see wasting the energy to keep it cool
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

Ours is a 12V compressor unit and always turn it off.
Same here-I never want anything but 12 Volt compressor type. When home I put a few charcoal chunks in a container, a box of soda and wadded up newspaper and the door slightly cracked open. Same for the 120 volt 1.7, I think, C.F. freezer. We turn it on 36 hours before departing on a trip.

no
we have a storage facility but try to leave the MH in our drive as often and for as long as we can get away with.

Yes, we keep the refrigerator on 24x7 all year round. In the warm months we run the air-conditioner only when we're actually using it, which is quite often. Unless the temps reach the 90's or more, we don't need air. Where we live, there is always a breeze. Open all the windows and door and the camper cools down real fast.
We keep drinks in the refrigerator, especially since we sleep in the camper more than we sleep in the house!
