That is one I never heard of before.  Like JR we always begin our travels with a full/loaded to the gills fridge.  We have been doing it this way since taking ownership of a 177 back in March 2011 and now have traveled over 45,000 miles with it, over all sorts of road conditions.

I fail to see how a full fridge would be an issue in the slide since the slide is (hopefully) all the way retracted during travel.
