Does the TT need to be level when fridge is on?

Saw a survey about fridge on when travelling. Most do it. Assuming the TT is not level when towing. I always level the unit in my driveway (side to side) so I can start the fridge. Is this unnecessary? It's not off by much...one leveling block......

The trailer moves a lot when being towed, so the liquids in the fridge cooling system jiggle their way around. If you’re not off by much in the driveway, you should be fine. But if my trailer was in my driveway, I’d level it just cuz. Doors won’t drift open and/or closed and I won’t get that awkward feeling when walking around.

Cool..thanks! Only off maybe an inch. I think next time I will level it out though. Doesn't take much to do. Doors, etc. Work fine....again not off by much.

If it is only an inch off, don't worry about it. We often set up an inch off, as it isn't worth changing.
