The Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer - 10.7 Cu Ft - 12V - Stainless Steel # 324-000119 only operates on 12v power, so if your battery is disconnected during storage the fridge will not run. If you plug your trailer in to shore power during storage it would provide power to the fridge still.

For reference, a 12v battery will only provide a few hours of operation of your fridge without a charge.
