- Old-BiscuitExplorer IIIIF RV Absorption Fridge is ON...........reasonably level regardless if heat source
Fridge relies in Gravity Flow for proper circulation of coolant.
Off level disrupts that gravity flow....can cause overheating......can cause crystallization.....can cause plating out........can cause blockage....accumulative and permanent....Death!
Even just 20 minutes off level can start the 'Death Spiral' - DrewEExplorer IIIDefinitely not okay without leveling the RV. It's the cooling system itself, not the burner, that needs to be reasonably level.
8 degrees is quite steep, a 15 percent grade! Lucky you; I hope you don't get much snow or ice. - 2oldmanExplorer IIElectric or gas..both must be level.
