Will A/C be fine if TT not level?

I'm going to have a 30A installed in my garage, hopefully this week. My sole purpose is so i could run my a/c on these hot summer nights when i'm prepping for a trip.

My driveway is sloped, so i never start my fridge until late the night before we leave, as i really have to raise the front to make level enough.

Just wondering if there are any issues running the ac when not level, or if that limited to the fridge only?

So long as the INSIDE edge of the drip tray is higher than that lip. No problem

If the lip is higher than the inside,,, Niagra falls.



Is this easy to spot when i get on the roof? any specifics as to where i should be looking?

OK if not level in a direction that lets the condensation run out of the pan instead of overflowing into your. RV.

Sure, it's OK. Just take a look at the angle of the air conditioners on some of the 5th Wheels. I bet yours is not that far off.

No problem as long as it doesn't cause water to pool around the unit and cause a leak. This would be rare unless you already have a roof problem.

Level is a requirement for proper fridge operation

My A/C unit is installed an the rearward slope of our 5vr. No problems as long as the evap drip pan drain holes are clear so condensation runs off the roof and doesn't pool/get carried over by fan and come inside rig thru discharge plenum
Is it time for your medication or mine?
