I get it somewhat close and do allow for rain or snow run-off, but not nearly as level as if we're camping. No worries on fridge as you have to be way out of level to affect operation with currently designed RV fridges.

I do store my HTT level as it is best for the fridge. I also have a covered area or I too would have puddles on my roof as well as it has settled. As if it would have taken longer for the manufacturer to put a steeper edge on the roof. Sheeesh. I see folkd storing their rigs sloped often here where we get lots of rain.

Nose high for me too, the front downspouts drain onto the storage doors, and the back run clear of everything.

mines somewhat nose high as its parked on a slope, the nose is down as far as it will and and there's still an incline. I plan on building a proper pad for it this summer like i had at the last house.

Slightly nose high, when stored under the carport and the same when camping, the way that Jayco made the roof I will have two puddles up near the front seam and trim when level, this is not much of a tilt, maybe half a bubble.
X2 on the front down spouts will drip across my forward storage doors.
I think that excessive tilt is a bad idea, instead of the water draining straight down and dripping off, it may run sideways and leak past seams that normally keep water out when vertical. (Slides??? Doorway???)

Stored level, but it is also stored inside protected from the elements.

I try for about a half of a bubble....

When I stored outside without power, it was the in the position that released the coupler from the ball. Now I have it inside with power so I try to level it because I leave the fridge running all the time. It mught be OK to have a half a bubble off but I usually have it pretty near level. (I have friends a half a bubble off and they function???)

I park mine at home with 2 of the 6 tires on 2" cement pavers to level it side to side. If I don't plan on using it soon, I level it front to rear, else I leave it where it is when I unhook. My generators will run it's ac, which is nice when the power goes out around here.
