You might want to review/revise your way of operating fridges.
Off level operation even for 20 minutes can cause overheating of coolant which then crystallizes. The crystals then plate out on tubing like a plague--------permanently. This damage is accumulative
I then owned a Class A followed by a Citation fifth-wheel and had no problems.
My current one has been the traveler, but I have been meticulous about leveling it when parked.
Not sure what else I could do.
This last one is 16 years old. I suspect it may have been on borrowed time :B I have owned it since 2007, I have no idea how it was treated for the first 8 years.
It was working perfectly when I shut it down to Winterize last Fall. It failed to start up when I turned it on last week. I had even leveled it for Winter storage!
