RV Fridge- Are the manufacturers purposely keeping us in the dark?

[Ynot4me2]

Yes they can if loaded up with cheap beer, that's why I prefer rum! lol

Hummm, rum is flammable and beer is not. But you can use the cheap beer to put out the fire or sit back and watch the fire while drinking the beer. Lol

Curious if the ARP has a sensor to detect out of level and alert you or better - cut power until the fridge is closer to level. This would alleviate the issue with running when not level - although I am assuming that since heat is what makes the absorption fridge work, removing the heat does not instantly fix the issue that causes the corrosion part.

It goes by temp. You add a sensor and it will detect if the system is getting too hot. Being out of level is one way the system can get too hot, amongst other ways.

They actually give reduced corrosion and increased fridge life as a benefit for their product. The owner came and gave a presentation to our Quartzsite group last year. He compared it to leaving an empty pan on a hot stove, it will warp or melt away with nothing in it. He relayed an anecdote about an airstream owner who kept having fridge problems with the boiler chamber corroding prematurely (every few years). Turns out they did a lot of mountain pass driving with the fridge on and the ARP unit fixed the problem. You can get reports from it as to how many times it tripped.

Ok. A few things I've noted in this thread.
The arp unit looks like a good idea to me.
Some of you are WAY to committed to things.
Ammonia is NOT a highly flammable gas, in fact it's really, really difficult to ignite at all.
Beer and pee may or may not put out a fridge fire.

May have to have group study on this at a rally....

The question was does it detect off level. The answer was it goes by temp. You add a sensor and it will detect if the system is getting too hot which is a biproduct of being off level.

Using propane while driving down the road is probably fine. .

Actually that is a myth, well what I mean is if you are caught using propane on a tow trailer (not sure about class motor homes) its illegal and if caught you can get a ticket and /or if you are in an accident and your trailer goes up in flames and the tanks are open, you are at fault and insurance won't cover it. Happens to a good friend right before covid.... Fire report came back the tank was open and insurance denied his claim. (this was in the state of California so other states may have different laws)
