Hello from MO

We recently purchased a 5th wheel and we were wondering if it’s ok to leave the RV plugged in to keep refrigerator on between weekends when not using the RV. Any thoughts if this is a good thing to do or not?

When we were on a seasonal site our fridge was plugged in from April till October. Never had a problem.

Thank you for your input. We are just using our 5th wheel now for weekend get-aways but come winter we will be living in it full time in AZ.
Thanks again!

We keep our coach plugged in, charging the aux. batteries . We turn on the frig a few days before we leave on a trip. Works for us !

X2. It tends to get Frost in the freezer over time, so we turn it off when home/storage.
