Page 20 of the '87 Westy Owner's Manual Supplement states (in bold, black
letters) ..."When the refrigerator is operating, be sure to park on level ground
to maintain efficient cooling. If the vehicle remains stationary for any length
of time on gradients exceeding +/-8 degrees, the cooling output will be
considerably reduced. Should level ground parking be unavailable, it is best to
discontinue operation to prevent overheating of the core which can lead to
permanent damage of the refrigerator.".

| needs to be "level" when running....

| Sooo...  what does "level" mean?  How many degrees off
| level is acceptable?
| What bad things happen if it's not level enough?
