the only ones that I leave on are the AC Fridge and DC Fridge (as backup in
case the AC fails). Unless, of course, the fridge is empty and then those go
off too."

One thing you might think about... if the AC goes out and the fridge
switches over to DC, it'll drain your batteries dead in a matter of hours.
While that's not good for the batteries, it may also leave you without bilge
pumps. I found this out the hard way... I'd rather lose the food, but the
reefer can stay cold for hours without the power, so hopefully it will come
back on before the food spoils. I never left the DC power to the fridge on
when I left my past boats.
