Here is what I do know – the fridge was installed poorly and actually has a few degrees of lean forward (that plus the crunched wheel well and the completely unsealed cooling section allowing dust to come in, it was a very bad job). I have attempted to compensate for level by jacking the trailer in the opposite direction to get the fridge level. It still does not help. I am measuring the levelness of the fridge per Dometic's instructions – using the floor of the freezer compartment if you will.

If you are saying the frig is setting in an area that is subject to outside wind currents could it be that the flame is being blown out while you are traveling. This will be hard to test because as soon as you stop the flame would relight. First thing I would do is pull the box and seal any opening that could cause unusual air currents.

I doubt that a slight tilt forward would effect the operation. These frigs are subject to tilt side to side as that effects the return flow of liquid in the unit.
