Yes, this will most definitely�and permanently�ruin
the boiler system which runs the fridge, and I suspect
is the cause of many defunct Westy fridges.

The factory Owner's Manual recommends the fridge be
tilted at no more than +/- 8 degrees in any direction
while in operation; the experts at RV Mobile
http://www.rvmobile.com/ suggest +/- 4 degrees is
safer. To determine your degree of tilt, purchase a
set of RV levels, which will allow you easily see when
you are in the proper range:

I use something like these RV leveling blocks

to get my Westy within proper range when parked or
camped. If your driveway is sloped too steeply for
even these, maybe try standard wheel ramps like these:

Good luck!
