RE: [VAC] How level is level?
I have two Dometic reefers, one in my 1966 Airstream Safari and another in a
Dodge camper van. I have found that they continue to work while moving but
performance is reduced. I compensated for this by turning up the thermostat
and rolling temp was good.
When I stopped and parked on a very level spot the units actually froze
over. I settled on a compromise setting where it is not quite so cold while
running but doesn't freeze over when level for a period of time.
I would be cautious however because each gas reefer seems to have a
personality that runs hot & cold on it's own terms.
