Refrigerator ran off level
My Dometic Refrigerator was accidentally ran off-level for several hours. It now doesn't seem to freeze hotdogs after about four hours running level so far. The bubble in my level was just outside...

RV manufacturers could absolutely stop any propane refrig damage issues if they would only install them within a strong aluminum or steel gimbal framework -> as in an enlarged version of the drink holders used on boats.
Considering what replacement absorption RV refrigerators cost today, I'd gladly have spent $500 more for our RV when new to have it's refrig mounted this way. Just a little bit of movement within a restricted gimbal mechanism area would be all that's required to radically reduce off-level damage ... such that a vastly larger space in the RV would not be required just to allow some refrigerator box swinging movement in all directions to help compensate for a non-level RV.
It wouldn't be Rocket Science to incorporate this refrigerator mounting approach in RVs today ... after all, look what they're doing with multiple RV slides and RV decks!
