Page 20 of the '87 Westy Owner's Manual Supplement states (in bold, black letters) ..."When the refrigerator is operating, be sure to park on level ground to maintain efficient cooling. If the vehicle remains stationary for any length of time on gradients exceeding +/-8 degrees, the cooling output will be considerably reduced. Should level ground parking be unavailable, it is best to discontinue operation to prevent overheating of the core which can lead to permanent damage of the refrigerator.".
