No. It only has to be level ENOUGH to be comfortable to live in the trailer.


This statement is true. The Dometic owners manual that came with my 2007 unit says exactly the same thing. Still, it wouldn't be a bad idea to make the fridge as level as possible. I understand that damage to the cooling unit is a cumulative process. Thus, even though there may be no noticeable problems initially there is a possibility of shortening the life of the unit if operated too often in an off level scenario. Why take a chance? Besides, a level fiver is more comfortable to live in. Things don't roll off the counter top and cabinet doors operate more like those in a regular house.

I want the stove level. If the frig is level at that time, fine.
I want the oil (and the eggs) to stay in the center of the skillet.
Wife doesn't cook, I do.
SHE wants the table level.
