G'day OT,

This, is the Red herring:!!
"Non operation of the refrigerator/freezer or resultant damage to the unit where the refrigerator/ freezer has been operated in an out of level situation".

Dometic could come back with; Did you operate the fridge on 12volt whilst travelling? As this operation of the refrigerator/freezer has been operated in an out of level situation. i.e turning corners could cause the leaning of the fridge therefore not operating at level, and going up and down hilly winding roads would also cause the fridge/freezer to be unlevel whilst in operation.

Cheers,

PeterM.

Peter, don't think so. In the instructions the are several references confirming the design is intended for use in motion. Many don't have a thermostat on DC so obviously not intended for DC use other than temporary periods when in motion.

Some partial quotes....

- Must be level to be comfortable to live in WHEN stationary (implying not an issue when moving).
- When in tow the constant rolling and pitching will not effect the fridge as long as the movement passes either side of level.
- Recommend use of ignition relay to prevent flat battery when parked.

Hi Peter

While I agree they could look for an out, 12v Or any sourcis ok WHILE TRAVELING [vehicle in motion]
Their own wiring diagram accepts that


FRom their manual:
HOW TO START THE REFRIGERATOR
"Leveling:.
When the recreational vehicle is stationary it must be
leveled to be comfortable to live in.
When the
vehicle is in tow, the continuous rolling and pitching
movement will not affect the refrigerator as long as the
movement passes either side of level, but when the trailer
is temporarily parked this sensitivity of the refrigerator
should be remembered. So once more, before you start
the refrigerator make sure the recreational vehicle is
leveled to be comfortable to live in."""
