Even with the new one, I level it when I camp and darn close if I'm just parking to go into the store. It just costs to much not to take two or three minutes to either level it....or shut it off when you go in the store for something....Sorry, old school...no problem
X2, I must be "old school" as well. When returning from a camping trip I always first stop in front of the house and go back to the trailer to turn the fridge off. Our driveway slopes noticeably to the street so once parked I always also level the trailer so I can use it for Camp Driveway and so the next time we head out on a trip I can safely power up the fridge the night before we leave. When I do start that process to hitch up for a trip the first thing I do is turn the fridge off and it remains off until I've pulled out on to the street and we're about to leave. If we stop along the way for any more than a few minutes I turn the fridge off. When we arrive at our destination my wife will head to the trailer to turn the fridge off while I'm at the gate house registering and the fridge remains off until we're on-site and leveled. Certainly the process would be easier if I could do this remotely but as it is it's really no biggie and IMO certainly worth the effort. For some this may seem to be overkill but it's a process that works for me, ensuring I've done what I can so the fridge enjoys a long life. :)
