Luxury Coach Lifestyles - View Single Post - Is it true that your motorhome must be level for the fridge to work?

I have had this issue a couple of times. In fact when I had a slow leak at the connection on my right rear air bag in a prior Newell, when it got to its lowest point the

fridge would quit working. This was a fairly new Norcold. This was on an older Newell and I did not have a way to balance the coach other than driving up on block or

digging out under a tire. But a few degrees tilt and there can be a problem. And sometimes like I think Michael was referring above that longer periods of sitting at a tilt

can be more of an issue then say an overnight stay or two.
