Fridge/Freezer level question
Anybody remember 2 things... 1. How many degrees off level can I run fridge and without occurring damage? 2. Is that propane or elec or both? Thanks

To convert degrees to something more visual, a good indicator is inches-per-foot.
3 degrees = 5/8" per foot
6 degrees = 1 1/4" per foot
If you use a 2 foot level, one end would be 1 1/4" higher or lower for 3 degrees, and 2 1/2" higher or lower than the other.
Most fridges are mounted so front-to-back on the fridge is the width of the trailer. So an 8 foot wide trailer would need to be 10" off level to equal 6 degrees front-to-back on the fridge.
For a 30 foot trailer, it would need to be about 18 3/4" out of level from front to back to equal 3 degrees.
