Conventional wisdom says the fridge should be operated only when the vehicle is level. What does this mean, and for how long. Presumably it's not a problem if driving up a steep hill for 5 minutes. What about parked on a hill for 25 minutes, or 2 hours? After how much time is there potentional damage being done to the unit? Is the danger the same, regardless of which of the 3 power modes is being used? Also, how much off level are we talking. My recently acquired 82 Westy came with front-back and side-side bubble levels. Is a 5 or 10 degree slope a problem for the fridge? Anyone know at what degree there is potential damage? Many thanks
