I've been feeding my Sahara 110V and running my refrigerator for 80% of it's so far three year life without any problems. I just find it an inconveinence to clean out the 'frige. So far so good with both the coach and chassis batteries. If I were to loose the batteries soon I'd just assume I got my moneys worth from them as lot's of folks give coach batteries a three year life. There is little doubt that disconnecting the 'frige when possible will extend it's life as long as it gets used a few months out of the year.
