How unlevel is 3 degrees?
Trailer wheel base 8'
Rise of 5" on one side (5 Inches off level)
2.98 Degrees per an online calculator
That is VERY off level. I like to keep the difference to 1.5 or less.
For SHORT periods. (IE: stopped for lunch) even greater angles won't matter.
But as you dricwe look for a 5% grade (you can find em in the nountrains
3 Degrees is 5.24 percent
You are correct. Except. The 3 degrees off level is the refrigerator's left to right. Since the refrigerator is sitting with the door facing side to side in the RV, the refrigerator's left to right corresponds to the RV's front to back. Do your calculations again using the RV's length instead of its width. For your calculations, the amount of off level that Dometic quoted is 6 degrees.
