Push and HOLD the "Mode" button until all the lights go out. Don't forget to lay a washcloth or something over the top of the door so it doesn't sit there closed and off.. the odors that build up will make you unhappy if it's left closed and off for any extended period.

How do I "turn off" the fridge? Is there an off state? I change the mode to Gas or Electric and it flashes continually. I don't want to leave it on battery - no battery switch installed yet.

We leave her plugged in and all systems live. More than once we have spontaneously camped in the drive, or had friends that didn't want to drive home late and let them stay out there..
I carried condiments in once. once. |

Welcome, PODinBreck. If you decide to disconnect the battery, you must re-connect it once a month and plug the pod in overnight to recharge the battery. Even completely disconnected they will self-discharge, especially in the warm months. You can get away with doing it every 2-3 months over the winter. Another option is to leave the battery in your garage and use a good 3-stage car battery charger. Also don't forget to charge it overnight before and after a trip.

I agree with the plug in group. We keep our plugged in, the refreg on and the water heater off. Right now we have the vent on and the windows open. We miss figured this weekend while at the beach on the amount of time to cook brownies in the convection oven and smoked them. 💩. Who new you could make a smoke bomb out of brownies. Turned out to be a really good frisbee. 😄

Ours gets plugged in as soon as we return home and usually the fridge stays on in ours also. No sense moving condiments back and forth between refrigerators all the time.

Outbound, this_is_nascar,
Thank-you for your responses! Do you guys leave all the fuses in on position? Pardon my ignorance. I just want to be doing everything right! Tony

I keep mine plugged in all the time, when not is use. I also keep the frig on electric that entire time. I like to use the R-Pod as an extra living space when it's not on the road camping.
