My wife would love to switch to a compressor fridge just so we don't have to worry about being level....
WHEN ..... is someone going to invent the mounts for, build the mounts for, and install in RVs ..... absorption refrigerators that are mounted on gimbals (like the drink holders in boats) so that they are kept level almost all the time? It would only take a cabinet about 2 inches wider and taller to hold any given absorption refrigerator and the necessary gimbals to keep it a lot more level in a lot more tilted-chassis situations. :h
It's been my experience that temperature regulation is not a big problem in absorption refrigerators (if venting is optimized). Keeping the refrig level enough, continually enough, is the main issue - which a robust heavy duty steel gimbal arrangement could eliminate, or at least radically reduce.
