- porkchop1221ExplorerOk stupid newbie question, but if you aren't using it, and it's just parked in the storage spot, does it need to be level? I can't stand it not being level when I'm staying in it, but if everything is off and closed it - does not still need to be level?
- Chock_Full_o__NExplorerI have chronic vertigo. Believe me, when we're out of level I know it instantly. I am meticulous about getting our rig absolutely level front to back and side to side.

This seems to be my experience. I have been "off level" many degrees sometimes several times and the refrig. still seems to work. When I am towing my combo is level because I know it's important when on propane.
As long as the pilot light is going up the flue, then the fridge is sufficiently level. It can be many degrees off and still operate.
This whole business about it having to be a quarter bubble or less to prevent fridge damage is nonsense. - mark5wExplorer

cost me $57.50 to get the fridge reset after I left the 5th wheel sitting high for the winter. Dealer said an extended period of time will make the circuit board for the fridge to shut it down. - CKNSLSExplorer

I guess I'll be the oddball. I almost never level. When I first started RVing, I was fanatical about being perfectly level. As time has gone on, we just pull in to our site, hook up and relax. I really don't care about being half a bubble off, nor do I even notice it any more.
It's an old wives tale that the fridge will be damaged if off level. It just will not optimally cool if on LP, but it will not do any damage to the cooling unit unless the whole coach is over on its side.

YMMV!
