You assume too much about the safety as many have caught fire in recent years. I never left mine on unless actually using for fear of a fire.

If you are that concerned about safety what do you do when you are asleep?
I'd sure like to see stats on what Ivylog means by "many have caught fire in recent years" ... does "many" mean a dozen, several dozen, or even a hundred out of millions sold over the years and in use virtually every day? :h JMO. but that's hardly a reason to avoid using the fridge as it was intended to be used, including having it run when you're asleep or when you may be away from the trailer. :S Out of habit I usually do turn our fridge off if we're not going to be camping for a couple of weeks, merely so I'm not unnecessarily wasting energy, but many of our camping friends who use their rigs on a more regular basis do start their fridge at the beginning of the season and never turn it off until they're ready to winterize, no issues at all.
