frig storage
when I winterize, I always put crumpled newspaper in the fridge to help eliminate mold and mildew. Seems to be effective.

So you changed terminology from Master Power Switch to master disconnect switch. "Power" is general - can refer to any type of power including 120vAC as I wrote; master disconnect switch implies battery - as in 12vDC.

For example:
Rockwood/Flagstaff, yes.
Salem/Wildwood, no.

And a lot of the ones that do have them, still provide power to certain things, even in disconnect mode.

FWIW, our Salem Cruise Lite does have a factory battery disconnect switch.

Interesting. Is it the A-frame mounted red key type or a rotating knob type or a push-pull type?

If it didn’t shut off the fridge I’m not sure what I would do as there isn’t a on/off switch on the 12v everchill. I’m unsure if hitting the breaker would turn it off because I think those are 120vac circuits but I could be wrong.

If it is 12 volt you could always just pull the fuse in the panel. Crude but effective.

We use a device to keep the doors open so air can circulate and prevent mold. VERY important when y9ou live in the Humid South

Our 2020 Wolf Pup 16FQ has a battery disconnect switch mounted to the lower left of the fridge inside that shuts down ALL power when not connected to shore power.

I installed a battery disconnect for $10 and 10 minutes of my time.
