Total newbie here, so sorry if the question is super dumb and thanks in advance for your patience! What happens with a TT if you have to park it on an incline? I take it proper campgrounds are leve...

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.
An Absorption Fridge uses Natural Circulation (Heat rises/cold descends) and gravity flow
Remove lower access vent and look at the 'absorber tubes' (large slanted tubing that goes to large tank at bottom)
Those tubes are slanted downward to use gravity so coolant goes to absorber tank that feeds the boiler section.
Off level operation disrupts that gravity flow and can cause overheating of the coolant (low flow) and/or the perk tube (boiler section)
Overheating causes damage that is accumulative and Permanent.
Crystals form from overheating that plate out and obstruct coolant flow causing more crystals/more plating repeat until BLOCKAGE and DEATH to cooling unit
