This helps to ensure if shore power fails during the night, both propane and 12vdc from batteries (via use/store) will keep the fridge operational until morning, when we complete trip preparations. I find it is just a good practise to always keep use/store on, for we rare boondockers. The latching relays seem to last longer as a bonus....haven't changed one yet (knock on wood).

Agree completely. Even boondocking you need it on to use the RV. We never turn ours to STORE as our RV is always stored plugged in to at least 15 amps.
