I treat mine like the OP does theirs. RV refrigerators are way to expensive to mistreat. It's best to follow the recommendations of the mfg conservatively. That way, they'll last a long time.
From the owner's manual:
CAUTION: The refrigerator is made to operate within 3° (3 degrees)
off level side-to-side and 6° (6 degrees) off level front-to-back (as
looking at the front of the refrigerator). Operating it at
more than these limits can cause damage to the cooling
system and create a risk of personal injury or property
damage. Make sure the vehicle is level before you
operate the refrigerator.
(On edit - clarified the figures are degrees not inches)
