transporting a rv fridge
Does it hurt to lay down a rv fridge to transport it for say an hour?

Based on 'band-aid' fix of burping a cooling unit where fridge is removed and turned upside down and/or rolled around in the hopes of fixing a cooling unit blockage........
YES you can lay in down to transport the fridge.
BUT stand it up right for 24 hrs. before turning it ON.
The coolant needs to collect in the absorber tank and have time for ammonia & hydrogen to separate
And the 'band-aid' fix........just that. It might help for a short time but 'burping' it is not a cure. A blocked cooling unit is permanently blocked and will just continue to add to the blockage.
