Avenue All Access 23ML Extended Storage/ Refrigerator On or Off?

[0321Stingray]

2025 23ML. I just put it storage and it will stay there for a few weeks. It does have the premium pkg solar panel 200 watts (I think) charging the house battery. Do I leave the 12V Furion frig on? The solar is on and charging.

Thank you

Unless you have a direct sunlight every day (no clouds or shade on the RV) the solar will not be able to keep up. Best to simply turn the frig off and open the doors.

The service “tech” told me it stays on all the time. He’s wrong. You’re correct. We’ve had no sun for the past three days. I should have read the manual. Anyway the manual says to turn the temp dial to off. Turn main power off. Turn converter off. Remove charcoal filter.

The frig has an automatic shut off switch, if it drops below 9.6V. To prevent damage to the batteries.

Turn the temp down to off? There isn't just an on/off button?

The manual actaully says the frig will turn off at 9.6 volts? That is CRAZY! I can't believe it will still work below 11.5v

Your battery(s) will read 0% at ~10.5 volts. The image below is for AGM batteries.

There is no button. It’s a dial. The manual does say it will shut down to preserve the batteries from damage.

Manual is
