Hi,
Anyone got any ideas on building a fridge leveller, instead of making sure the van is level, maybe just adjust up some legs or something?
cheers

G'day Craig, you've got my reply, but I'll pop it in here for any else may be interested.
I built a square stand out of pine and painted it. I drilled 12mm holes into the base of the legs and hammered in threaded nuts that you can buy from Bunnings. (The kind that is on the bottom of lounges and beds. The I simply screwed in the feet, which are about 50mm adjustable.
Whole thing cost less than $20 and took maybe an hour of fun with the power tools. VERY accurate as adjustment is fine, very balanced as each foot is independant rather than just adjusting a whole side up and down and getting the wobbles in a corner and also has the nice benefit of lifting the fridge a foot off the ground to make it a little less of a bend to the bottom.
There's a pretty ordinary picture of it in my profile.
Cheers,
Smocky.
