Chris, My comments come from 43 years as a RV technician. ALL are solid based on MY travels and what I have seen about RVer parked at roadside areas and eateries and even in neighborhoods. TRAVELING on slopes and inclines does NOT cause an out of level problem as the movement overcomes the problem of the Ammonia system. The overheat disc is a SAFETY install. Has nothing to do with stopping a potential blocking problem. IF the out of level or even a large blockage happens, running the Refer, can cause a burst of a cooling unit at its weakest points. IF on LP, the flame can ignite the spewing ammonia and cause a fire. So after lawyers sued Dometic and Norcold 25 years ago, both installed overheat disc's. There was a massive recall over 20 years ago for millions of refers to have the overheat kits installed. ALL new refers since then had the kits installed at build. Doug
