Subject:Shipping Dometic Fridge - This Side Up?
From:The Bus Depot
Date:Sun, 15 Apr 2007 22:28:00 -0400

I'm buying a used Dometic fridge from a list member for my '89 Westy.  I
know that leaving a Dometic upside down for a while can actually be
beneficial. But I recall someone posting here recently that the fridge can
be damaged if operated on a steep incline, which is something I hadn't heard
before. (When I'm camping on an incline I level my van, so it's never come
up.)  Does the same apply concern to shipping, or only when it's in use?
That is, can the fridge be damaged simply by being stored on its side while
in UPS or Fedex's hands?
