If my math is correct, our 28' trailer would be 10" higher at one end than the other to be 3°off level. Our fridge has shut off twice while being maybe this much out of lever. Makes wonder if the newer fridges have some protection built in oem.
We operated our previous trailer "somewhat" off-level a few times in the two years we had it. When new it used to regularly cool down to 26-28 degrees with 85 degree ambient temps. After 2 years, it would only do 32-34.
First thing we did with our new Jayco Eagle was install an ARP (and an EMS). Way too easy to forget to turn that frig off---especially when you make frequent rest/scenic stops out-west.
No. It was faulted out with the led flashing if I remember correctly. I'm very conscious of level after that happened so no recent problems. After reading more about it, it seems a Norcold will fault out if it fails to cool. It works fine as long as it's level so for now I have to believe that was the problem. Ours is a 2017 if it makes any difference.
