Being unlevel is more critical front to back than side to side. Either way is not as much of an issue as seems to be written about. I read a book on RV and mobile refrigeration, and the old author said that he had seen a damage refrigerator from this unlevel operation only once in his experience. Personally, I think the reason that the Dometic sucks is that the hydrogen that is mixed with ammonia has leaked out, leaving only the ammonia behind. Hydrogen is very light and must be difficult to contain. Can't see any other reason for the poor performance, as I have tried and tried everything to get mine to work like it should and cannot get the results I want. I don't understand how someone could sell a unit like these and have them not work reasonably good,somewhat similar to like we are used to at home, when they are new. Many of them sure don't work good now, and I think this is the reason. |
