My biggest gripe with propane fridge is keeping it level. Not an issue when I am officially parked at my camp spot, but when traveling and parking for a little bit to go see stuff, go shopping or anything that requires parking the fridge was just too big a part of life and far too needy. Keep it level or ruin it or turn it off before parking out of level. I think if you park un-level then turn it off there is those minutes where the burner is hot, still cooking and small amounts of damage could occur. I do not know for sure when the damage begins after parking off-level though.
people think that adsorption fridges are a lot more finiky about this then they realy are. 3 degrees with in level is what I have found most will say on side to side and up to 6 degrees front to back (this is the norco specs but since they are the same basic design I would imagin it is simular for dometic and such. I think parking in 99% of parking lots you would be fine, and if it isnt going to be I think you would know driving into it.
