It's fine while driving down the road. But if you stop for any length if time, maybe as short as 10 minutes, you could be doing damage to the fridge if it's not reasonably level.

When we are ready to leave I turn the switch back on and go to the outside fridge compartment to listen for the burner roar.
p.s. I'm in the don't turn off fridge while fueling camp. This topic has been beaten to death here.
