Question on Dometic ammonia fridge operation
We just got to a campsite, and it's hot out there, and it's taking forever for the fridge to cool down. Even the ice in the coolers is melting and dang it, my ice cream is going to me melted.
I would like to run this thing off an inverter going down the road. I know you have to be careful about the angle of the fridge so the ammonia can condense properly.
My question is, will it actually HARM the unit to run it for a few minutes when it's not level (like going up a hill)? The only problem *I* can see, is heating the chamber where there's no ammonia, because it's stuck in the condensing coils. I don't really see that as an issue, just one possibility if any.
But, does anybody know for sure if this will actually harm anything or not. I know it it will interrupt it's operation until we're level again, and that's fine. I just don't want to damage any thing.
(and nope, I didn't find any dry ice to use)
