Trailer on incline

It won't hurt the trailer but sure would be uncomfortable to sleep in. Also chock the wheels so you don't wake up in the yard across the street.

Totally depends on how much of an incline. TT’s can be leveled front to back, side to side. You may need to get some leveling blocks, boards, or add levelers to the TT. You also need some wheel chocks to keep the TT from rolling, and it’s a good idea to use them even on level ground. Don’t know about where you are but many localities have rules about parking RV’s on the street much less setting them up for temporary occupancy.

If you can get the TT “close” to level you should be fine for use. The fridge (standard RV fridge) is probably the most sensitive in operation in that if not fairly level, you can damage it by running it.

I level mine all the time, but that's because I leave my fridge on all the time (except during winter storage). It's easy to get it level and chock the wheels for safety. I have rubber and plastic chocks and lots of boards to put under tires and tongue jack. Makes life much easier.

Trailer should be level, or close to it, for the sake of your comfort and the fridge. Lock and block the wheels. Depending on the slope this can be a chore.

Best answer but I'll add that you might have to use your friend's bathroom to shower.

Won't hurt the trailer, but not good for an absorption fridge, which they all are unless it has been replaced with a household fridge.

What's wrong with using the leveling blocks in the driveway? You do have leveling blocks, don't you?

This is my procedure which very much limits problems of the site being unlevel.

Level side to side by placing Lynx leveling blocks under low side wheels (optional as necessary by site)
Chock wheels (mandatory every before unhitching the TT fronm TV
Disconnect WDH
Level front to back with tongue jack
lower stabilizer jacks

I have this procedure down to a science before any family member gets out of the TV. Takes <5 min usually which is beneficial as some campsites I have to block the campground loop road traffic until unhitched. When leaving, TV hookup is last. Patio mat put away, awning in, hitch up, grab chocks and blocks, leave. Last steps with minimal road blocking time.

Since I have perfected this procedure with my current equipment, I have little excuse not to do this all the time, even under circumstances of quick overnight stops along the travel route.

The only thing I'll add is that you may need blocks or lumber for the tongue jack, I carry a pair of 4x4 blocks about 2' long, if a site is more than 8" plus what the tongue jack can do it's probably not safe even with wheel chocks IMHO.

If it's off level more than would be comfortable to live in, then you risk damaging the refrigerator. I don't completely understand the mechanical reason but it's a well know fact in the RV world. And I don't think it matters if it's running on electricity or gas. Something about the circulation of the cooling fluid.

“I take it proper campgrounds are level“

No, they are not. Be ready to level at any campsite. The more you do it, the easier it become.
