For those with the 12 volt Isotherm refrigerator -

What are you doing when you want to store the Oliver during non-use times? The main issue as I see it is keeping the refrigerator door open for air circulation. But, then the light is on all the time. 

I pulled the refrigerator fuse but, now there's an LED on  where the fuse was removed.  

For now, we store ours outside but we will be moving it inside in the spring. We have the 390 AH Lithionics with solar so I suppose this is a moot point as long as the panels are on?  I also realize that being a child of the 60s/70s, it's just not in my nature to leave a light on!

We really love hull #1550 and the upgrades from our original 686 (including the fridge)!

I've got no solution (other than pulling the plug on that LED) for the fridge light(s) problem.  But, in order to keep any odors at bay while in storage, first take a half dozen newspaper pages, crumple them up and stick them in the fridge and freezer with the door(s) cracked open.

I just put some painters tape over the button and turn the fridge all the way down. Keep the door open and a little baking soda inside.

Our door can be open a "crack" without the light being on. 

Clean it, dry it out, and that crack is plenty. I put a dish towel between door and frame, and a weight against the door to keep it from being opened accidentally.  I use a spare bottle of rv antifreeze as a weight.

We pull the fuse, open the refriderator door and then flip the freezer door open. The freezer door prevents the refrigerator door from closing completely.  Just be careful to not bump into the door when working inside the trailer.
