Over the years, I've probably had not more perfectly level sites than I can count on one hand, I do try to get close.

All public roads are crowned. If that is all the OP is seeing, then it's a non-issue. Typically modern roads use straight line 1.5% cross slope (about 1.4 inches over an 8ft wide trailer). Shoulders are typically 2.0-2.5%. Older roads may use hyperbolic crown but those aren't very common anymore. You may see them on older back roads. In curves, the road will be superelevated with a cross slope all to one direction that will vary based on speed and radius (think race track banking on a much more modest level). A truly level road is almost never found.

So the question is when the OP says it's out of level, does he mean relative to gravity or relative to the road surface?

Take a tape measure and on smooth (relatively) level concrete and measure from ground to frame on both sides at the axles. It should be pretty close. 1/2 inch, I'm probably chalking it up to inconsistencies in the concrete.

If it's really off by 1", I would want to look into it. See if you can shift some weight to level it out. Probably not the end of the world but in an emergency maneuver a balanced load will handle better.

It won't bother the fridge but I will be told to put a board under it if we are off by that much when parked.
