Leveling my trailer. Do things settle?

I took my initial level setting by placing a bubble level in the freezer. I marked a spot on the counter that shows the same reading as in the freezer and take my reading from there when camping. I noticed today that this reading is now way off from the freezer. Do things shift around over time?

Even two spots in the freezer show different readings. I took the average. Seems like absolutely nothing is level in this thing :)

    The internals will flex and bow over time, and even as the frame twists slightly during leveling.

    I just get it close and comfortable. I just place a torpedo level on the trailer frame on the tongue to get my front-back, and across the frame to get side to side. I did learn that the ripples in the siding on the nose are perfect to the frame, so I jam a level against the siding for my side-side leveling.

    Unless your on pavement of some sort, I think it will settle some.
