We all know our refrigerators, when on propane, should be as level as possible.
But what happens when you must park on a very unlevel street, should we turn the refrigerator off? Or does the time it's there make a big difference, say if it's for 30 minutes or longer?
And what happens when we leave it on? Does something get damaged or is it a big drop in efficiency or both?
The only place I have level ground at my Auburn house is at the house itself.
It's not level at all where my Y2K RV is parked. On the night before a trip, I turn the refrigerator on propane to get it ready for the morning. Even though not even close to being level, it works very well and I am ready to load it up and take off in the morning.
So am I doing any type of damage, and if so, to what? BTW, I have treated it poorly over the years as far as leveling is concerned and it still works very well.
