If the empty can from the adult beverage doesn't roll around on its own. Call it good.

I would use the refer. If it's level the rest is OK.

Get it close as after a few adult beverages it will no longer be level and may appear to be moving in several directions at the same time.

So I don't have a pic but my dads toy hauler has one of the level master levels on it. When we leveled it in my driveway and blocked it up to install the level doesn't sit evenly across the pin box. When we installed and made it read level, the door side of the level has a space between it and the pinbox. The drivers side sits directly on the pinbox. Just shows that either the level isn't square or someplace a brand new camper isn't square. After placing it the camper sits level.

Would it be side wall to side wall level or back wall to door level. I know why you need the fridge level, but level which way is more important. I would think side to side? which in my case would be camper level front to back.

Check the floor, fridge, and bathroom door.

The door opens or closes depending on the level and mama DOES NOT like that.

Don't use a full one to roll around.

All campers are made from the frame up. The frame is made on a very carefully mad jig and it is level ed at the factory. The first thing that goes on the frame is the floor. This will be level with the frame. Every thing else goes on top of the floor. There fore the best place to put your levels is on the floor. I check mine at the front door and in the center of the trailer. I have an app on my iPhone “(RV Companion)” which shows me the level of the camper. It tells me in inches how much to lift the unit to level it. You can calibrate the app on a level surface and then check the camper. You can easily check the frame as well. Best little app I have found. They may make it for android as well. Best couple of dollars I have spent for this app.
Hope this helps.

If the bathroom door swings open by itself, then my drivers side is low. I usually find this out after I disconnect the trailer but it gives me an idea of how accurate the outside level is for side to side.

For front to back, if the A/C is dripping from the front, then the front is too low. At least I can correct this after disconnecting. Again, this can be a way to check the accuracy of the outside level.

If the fridge is off enough to affect operation at this point, I’ve got big problems.

I forgot a level after I used the "dedicated camper level" somewhere else once. I put a frying pan on the front burner and filled it with just enough water to cover the bottom and used that for a level. A friend of mine uses a marble on the kitchen counter and calls it level when the marble doesn't "roll too fast".
