Your trailer doesn't have to be "perfectly" level for a gas absorption fridge to operate properly but it does need to be reasonably level so that being the case why take a chance based on the opinion of someone on the internet you don't know and has no vested interest in whether your fridge lives or dies? :R Damage is cumulative and can begin within 15 minutes of being turned on so although the fridge may not fail for some time eventually it will. Question is - why can't you reasonably level your trailer? :@
Let me add that you can really cut the 'cool down time' by loading the fridge with cold food and then starting it up. After it's cold which is usually about 2 hours, load the frozen stuff in the freezer.
Level within 1/2 bubble in your drive will be just fine. I quit sweating the 'perfectly level' a long time ago. No matter how lwvwl you get it, at some point the fridge will suffer from crystalized coolant anyway. None of them last forever. When it pukes, get a compact Waeco Compressor unit and be happy.
