[VAC] Re: Replacement Refrigerator
Don't believe this. Go and read the stuff at the site Terry Tyler gave
you. You'll find that the fridge operates on the same principle whether
electric or gas heat is used. If your fridge is much off level, then you
will develop a block in the flow of the ammonia/hydrogen mixture used in
this kind of refrigeration.,

>it needs to heat.
The fridge needs to be level, true but for a very different reason. No
matter, the important thing is that is needs to be level (whether you're
using gas OR electric; don't ask how I know this.)
Many recommend that you do not drive with the gas on. If you do, it would
be prudent to turn it off while re-fueling. The constant jiggling of the
fridge while traveling will keep the refrigerant lines clear and the
refrigerant circulating.
