Dynamax Refrigerator Operating Angle

[Retired NM Firefighter]

Looking through the forum there has been advise on operating a non-residential refrigerator on an angle. Unfortunately, I didn't see any detail on how much angle would be detrimental to the unit. Right now I have the RV parked in a driveway with about a 5-10 degree slope. Would this angle be a problem for operating the refrigerator for 4 or 5 days? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I would not do it. A couple degrees ok but not 5 to 10.

I was told that if the rv is level enough that you can sleep on the floor by the fridge without the feeling of rolling it is good enough for the fridge. Which would probably be no more than 3 degrees. Go to any hardware store or walmart and get a circular bubble level or a 3" spirit line level and keep it in your rv. Place it on your stove top when your setting up. Either should be less than $5.

The reason for leveling is that to much angle and the cooling agent won't drain back to reservoir/boiler and can crystallize in the piping. My old norcold mounted against the passenger side wall said 3* front to back (on the rig) and 6* side to side. the sleeping advice is a good rule of thumb.

This is true it's in the owners manual.
