Another Curious Question... Refrigerator
Ok as a new MH owner, I guess I have all the "curious" questions. With all the talk about leveling to run the refer, what happens when driving? I would think that the refer is left turned on while drive to keep from spoiling the contents. If so, why do we work so hard to level the refer when parked, but go through all kinds of mountains and valleys without a worry while enroute.

When driving, there is enough sloshing to keep things working.

Some people on this forum are anal when it comes to leveling. Just get it close and is comfortable to you and everything will be fine.

DeWat,
You may be interested in reading the blog titled "What is 'LEVEL' for your Refrigerator." Here's a LINK to it.

Have had RV's for over 25 years.
I never worried about leveling for the refrigerator and never will. There are times our coach isn't level, but close enough for government work.
Mine is on from two days before we go on a trip until the day we arrive home. Sometimes that's a couple months.
So don't worry about it.

When stopped, If it's comfortable to walk in, it's level enuf.
When traveling, the ups and downs mean the reefer is "breaking the plain", and that nullifies the leveling requirement.
