Time to swap the Refrigerator?

You camp unlevel?

I will confess, I never cared if I was off level when camping. Ya I get close but never bother blocking tires or running jacks down. I had a class C with a 7cu/ft dometic fridge that never gave me a bit of problems and I never tried to level that rig.

I had read that they needed to be level, but just assumed that was a "suggestion".

I spent this trip measuring every low storage spot to see just how many Ah I could fit. Seems like I can easily add 600Ah and only use up one storage hatch. I can probably fit 4-500 watts of solar on the roof, and my truck has the super duper alternator for charging on the road. We often camp in RV parks so charging batteries each night is easy. We like to go explore and on this trip visiting my kid in Colorado, we use it for everything. Probably ran the generator in places it was frowned on but when you need a microwave .....

The fridge is a big problem right now. It was hit and miss if it would cool, and clearly needs attention. As it does not use DC, I will be looking at the suggested retrofit options, and if necessary will replace it.

I would also like to lessen my need for propane. I have two 30lb bottles that are a bit heavy to lift that high. I would prefer to gt by with one or two 20lb bottles.

Thanks for all the support!

You are honest. DEAD WRONG as to why to level, but you admit to not doing it. Because you "thought" you knew about RV refer level, you have partially RUINED your RV cooling unit. NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS. People that do what you did think since nothing drastic happened at first, that talk about level was a wives tale. NOW, you have found it it will COST you big bucks. Either replace the cooling unit or go AC/DC. Either way will cost you. Doug
