Traveling in an RV offers all the\ncomforts of home with the freedom to not be tied to one location.\nThis mobility, however, does come without its own considerations.\nThings that are taken for granted in a stationary home may be issues\nthat require constant monitoring and consideration when in a\nrecreational vehicle. Your RV fridge, for example, needs to be\nrelatively level in order to work properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does your RV fridge need to be level? Your RV fridge is most likely an absorption refrigerator which relies on gravity for the ammonia liquid to fall from the condenser fins to the evaporator coils where the cooling process takes place. Running the fridge on an unlevel surface for more than half an hour can damage the refrigerator.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This damage may not be immediate but will cause significant wear and tear over time. Of course, there are different types of RV fridges, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. In order to know the best practices, you need to know what type of fridge you have and how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
