how important is being level

I will be pulling out Wednesday, i would like to be hooked up the nite before , but i may not be level, is this important since i will be leaving in 12 hrs. I will be running my ac and frig.overnite .
  • You might peruse this thread: Ran fridge off level
    Short answer is the more you run the firdge off level, the shorter its life and the weaker it gets.

    Dont let the comfort thing fool you. If the firdge is damaged it will do you no good to claim you were comfortable in the RV therefore the firdge just cant be hurt.
  • As long as it is within the comfort range for the "humans" it is close enough for Dometic, so says their manual.

    Leveling the refrigerator
    Leveling is one of the requirements for proper operation with
    absorption refrigerators. To ensure proper leveling the vehicle
    needs to be leveled so it is comfortable to live in (no noticeable
    sloping of floor or walls).
    Any time the vehicle is parked for several hours with the refrigerator
    operating, the vehicle should be leveled to prevent this
    loss of cooling.
