Will you still be connected to 30 or 50 amp electricity?

If you won't have shore power available, clean out the fridge, turn it off and defrost it, then let it dry with the doors open. Before you go, fill it up with crumpled up newspaper pages. Leave it open, if you can. Last, disconnect the battery(ies). If you don't, they will discharge in a couple of days unless you can keep them on a trickle charger.

With or without shore power available for the whole time, I would bring in the slides. If you aren't in a secure place, I would get a lock for the kingpin. Turn off the propane. Shut off the electrical water heater.

Even if it was still available, I think it would be safer to disconnect from shore power and disconnect the batteries. If the shore power should fail, and you had food in the fridge, you would have a heck of a mess to clean up on return.

We did just that for a 5 week "vacation from vacation" in April/May.
