Subject:      unlevel fridge operation
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Anyone know what is considered too far off-level for proper fridge
operation?  I used to have a fridge that ran GREAT but now won't cool below
55 on propane (gets down to 30 in no time on 110, though).  I'm wondering if
its because I have been *slightly* unlevel the last couple of times I've
used it.

Also, as a side note, anyone know anything definitive about this threat of
"ruining" your fridge if you operate it on a steep hill?  (I usually drive
around with the propane running when camping - it's easier and more
reliable, er, used to be).

Looks like I'll be pulling the fridge out this afternoon to check for debris
in the combustions chamber and vents, etc.  What about "burping" it?

Thanks in advance.
