Re: [A/S] Re: Leveling

Howdy Phil:

I guess this is a forum, so I think I'll just jump right in here.

My '67 manual says: "Whenever you park your trailer, care should be taken 
that it is level for best operation of this refrigerator....A spirit 
level has been provided with your Dometic refrigerator to assist you in 
leveling your Airstream".

The Dometic Installation and Adjusting Instructions for my refrigerator 
says: The refrigerator must be installed on a solid floor and must be 
level.  "When checking use a pocket level and level both ways in the 
freezer compartment.  The refrigerator will operate only while being 
level.  A continuous movement as in the trailer on tow will not affect 
operation if the rolling or piching passes either side of level."

"The operation will be least affected if the refrigerator is installed 
with the door parallel to the side wall of the trailer."

"Whenever the trailer is parked, care should be taked that it is 
accurately leveled."

And finally you should check out:

bubble comes from) and http://www.rvmobile.com/tech/trouble/coolingd.htm

The culprit in all of this is the sodium chromate which is used to buffer 
the ammonia.
