Gas refrigerator-How level to work properly?
I did some looking and found this on the Norcold (Thetford) website. For an N61 refrigerator, the manual states 3 degrees side to side and 6 degrees front to back as you look at the refrigerator facing the door.
I found on another RV forum where someone did the math for the angles and came up with this:
Note 3 degrees would be 12” difference front to back on a 21’ trailer! Note 6 degrees would be 8.6” difference side to side at the tires!
My internal inclinometer, the semicircular canals in the ear for pitch, yaw and roll can detect that at a 1.5" difference at the wheels, something is not right. If I raise the tongue of my trailer a couple inches off level, I can sense that it's off level when walking around inside.
So to me, if you can walk around in your camper and not feel like you're visiting the Mystery Spot in Michigans U.P. you're probably good! If you can get the bubble of your 2 foot level close to center you should be just fine. Shoot, I'll bet that if you tilt your trailer slightly so the water runs off one corner you'd still be good.
