The Dometic manual for my old R-Pod did  not have leveling guidelines, but my Trailmanor's Norcold refrigerator manual states that the refrigerator should be level to within 3 degrees side-to-side, and within 6 degrees front to back.  These level references are in relation to the refrigerator, not the trailer.]]> Thu, 21 Apr 2011 12:29:08 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1322&PID=14929#14929 Leveling for operation of refrigator : I found that my BAL tire leveler... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1322&PID=14928#14928 Author: TIDALWAVE

I found that my BAL tire leveler was a best buy for leveling.  I use the A-frame front trailer jack and the BAL leveler to do a quick adjustment.  I also bought four very cheap stick-on RV bubble levels and
put one on each side of my POD.  In just a minute or two I have the POD level.  I also bought a set of red plastic leveling pads to extend the reach of the jacks when I have to set up on a really uneven campsite.  I found that yellow plastic pads start to crumble after just one season of camping!  ]]> Thu, 21 Apr 2011 11:35:46 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1322&PID=14928#14928 Leveling for operation of refrigator : +1 for techntrekBesides, I sleep... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1322&PID=14922#14922 Author: Outbound

+1 for techntrek

Besides, I sleep very poorly if the trailer isn't level.  Personally, I use a Hoppy Hitch Level and lynx levelers - it only takes a minute to level out the trailer.

I found some small stick-on levelers at Wal-mart and put one on the outside of fridge so I can make certain it's level.]]> Wed, 20 Apr 2011 17:18:01 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1322&PID=14914#14914 Leveling for operation of refrigator : I have heard that modern fridges... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1322&PID=10945#10945 Author: techntrek

I have heard that modern fridges are more tolerant than ones in years past.  But, thinking critically, I don't see how this is possible.  The problem is that crystals will build up in the tubes you see inside the fridge compartment (looking from the outside of the 'pod).  Once enough have built up the ammonia won't flow and the fridge is dead for good.  I don't see how they could make the inside of the tubes any differently or make the ammonia flow any better when on an incline.  Fundamentally the technology hasn't changed since it was discovered many moons ago.  So that is my dilemma.  Maybe I'm wrong and they have made them better.  I still shoot for as level as I can get - between laying in bed at night, the fridge, shower and sink.

Remember that level isn't an issue when you are going down the road, the bouncing keeps things flowing.

you do want some form of level to run the Fridge.  Does not need to be 100%]]> Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:01:08 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1322&PID=10940#10940 Leveling for operation of refrigator : I have heard rumor that these... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1322&PID=10932#10932 Author: mountain mist

I have heard rumor that these days leveling is not as critical for running the refrigerator.
I mean reasonably level, not just perfect. I would like to hear some opinions on this. Thank  you
