Best way to run fridge while not level
Had a weird thought this morning... I know TT needs to be level in order for fridge to work properly. However, if that's not an option, I wonder if it's better if TT was unlevel side to side or front ...

IMO the only safe way to ensure all this real time is to install the ARP type system mentioned in a prior post in this thread and this $100 or so investment to protect a $1700 to $3000+ appliance is well worth the price of admission so to speak. Only with this do you again IMO have a fighting chance to keep things under control and maximize the life of your frig.
OR just turn the fridge off, a couple of hours won't make any difference at all ... I do this every time I'm hitching up or backing up onto our significantly sloped driveway. Same when we arrive at campground - one turns off the fridge while the other checks in, later we turn the fridge back on once we're situated and leveled on our campsite. If we stop along the way, same thing unless we're going to be all day, in which case I'd take the time to reasonably level the trailer so I can then leave the fridge running. A replacement fridge is costly - better safe than sorry. No fridge issues in 20 yrs using this method. :B
That's what you might feel comfortable with, but I sort of look at what you do like not carrying collision auto insurance because you are "CAREFUL" and haven't needed it in XXX years. To me it's that I have had encounters with "MR. MURPHY" in the past and for me the small price of the ARP system is for me well worth removing "MR MURPHY" from the equation. This is based on my belief that there might be "other factors" as I described in my prior post that could effect just how unlevel a frig might really be to cause damage that once can't accurately determine.
