Any way to turn off refrigerator in my 2018 Alpine 3701FL? Refrig comes on automatically when plugged in to shore power. I can't figure out how to turn it off.

Welcome to the forum.

If it’s a residential style fridge then you need to turn off the breaker. If it has an inverter to power it as you drive, it also needs to be turned off.

I installed a power strip with an on/off switch (one with a flat power plug). Open refrigerator and remove the bracket holding the front leg to the shelf. You can now lift out the Refrigerator and reach the power outlet that it is plugged into behind refrigerator. - unplug - plug in the power strip and place it beside refrigerator with the switch towards the front. Replace refrigerator and secure the bracket. Now you can turn off the refrigerator when not in use, plus you can use the other outlets for a skillet or toaster.
