Guys....I know this subject has been beat to death, and frankly, I just don't have time to research it. Very busy day and I wanted to get this out there.
Best to get to the point. If I am no more than 1" unlevel from side to side on my TT, is that TOO unlevel for my fridge? Long story short, I pulled in earlier today....was off a little bit. I blocked up about 1" and then was slightly unlevel the other direction. Bottom line I decided to take the blocks out. Knowing what I know, I am about 1" out from one side of my TT to the other. Is that even enough to worry about? When IS it too much to worry about? My fridge manual talks in terms of degrees; I don't know how to convert that in a practical manner.
Any help is appreciated.

1 inch won't be a problem. I've been over 5 inches side to side for three days without an issue.

I don't think my tt has ever been level. The fridge won't start if one side of the tt is up on a curb but, if it's already running, 5-6" doesn't seem to make a difference.

Doubt if it will cause you any problems but the closer to level the better. As a general rule if it's not uncomfortable to live in it's level enough but since it relates to the circulation of the coolant, I generally get pretty close to level

I calculated the max allowed for our wheelbase based on the Norcold specs. Turned out to be 7 inches front to back and side to side. That's too much slope for us to be comfortable living inside. We find we are comfortable being no more than 3 inches out of level so that's our limit. Good for the fridge too.

Leveling the trailer is more for the DW. Never had a problem with the fridge.

I have done the same this you did, the one inch doesn't make that much difference. one thing I don't do is did a trench on the other set of tires to try to level. If I have to go to that extreme, I will move my camp site.

As previously said that's not enough to hurt it. Most of the time if I'm only 1" off on either side I leave it be. More than that though and I'll break out the boards.

If it looks and feels level, it's good enough
