Can anyone tell me if I can store a small Electrolux RM122 fridge on its side while storing it over the winter months in a trailer tent in Spain. Will storing it this way adversely affect the gases and operation later. I dont have the height in the trailer to store it in an upright position, thus my dilema.

Hello David. Provided the fridge is allowed turned off for a couple of hours or longer before it is turend on its side,and then it is turend teh right way up for 2 or more hours before it is turned on again, then I cannot see any problem.

I see no problem with this at all, the fluid is sealed in the pipes and has no means of escape whichever way up it is.
