I turned on the fridge in our then new 2017 Jayco TT a couple of days before a trip like I always had and hitched up to the truck. Checked the next day and the fridge was off. I think the LED was flashing but not sure I'm remembering accurately. Comparing the trailer lines to the eve of the house, it was nose down a few inches. I unhitched and leveled the trailer. Fridge fired back up and continues to work ok. Makes me wonder if it has a built in safeguard.
This thread made me think maybe a plumber's level might be handy for those times when perfectly level isn't feasible.

You can get stick on levels that you can apply to the outside of the unit to 'level' it. I think they are a couple bucks each. Camco has them so does Amazon on line and even Wal Mart.

I have a good level. I was thinking more of a plumber's level to be able to tell how far out of level it is in situations like listed above. A plumber's level has two or three different pitches built in.

If you level the camper to the fridge, then attach outside levels, you will level the fridge every time you set up.
As a side note, when using a level, you should check to make sure it is reading level and plumb. A lot of them are off when new.

I'm referring to those time where the unit can't be leveled to know if it is over or under three degrees of pitch. If we stop for a couple of hours somewhere and it doesn't appear to be level, I'd want to know how far off it is so I'd know if it's OK to leave the fridge on in that spot for a couple of hours as in more or less than three and six degrees. I use a carpenter's level. A plumber's level might be in my future for when we stop but aren't setting up to camp.
