I have my MH parked with a slight tilt to the side right now, not out of preference but because of snow and ice.Will this have any ill affects on the fridge or does it need to be in operation? Should I level it? I will be putting the awning on this weekend (hopefully) and can level it if necessary.
Thanks again

The specs on my old fridge say it should be within 3 degrees of level when in operation - which probably means 4 or 5 degrees wouldn't be a disaster either. When not in operation it doesn't care. What matters is keeping the fridge door slightly cracked so air can circulate in it, and it wont get the stale smell.
I Always park mine at a tilt for snow and ice and rain runoff. The roof sags 5/8th inch at the worst; a 3 degree tilt allows water NOT to collect. I have the wheels on one side on 2 by 8 planks, and the nose high. And when we light the fridge it works fine this way. denison
