parking on a 15 degree hill

Hello All. I park my Redhawk 26xd in my driveway and it's on a 15 degree, front down angle. I know not to run the refrigerator, awning or slides at this angle but is it okay to run the generator, propane, water pump or anything else. I have access to 120v electricity but I want to keep the generator going every week or 2 if I'm not out driving. Thanks for the help.

Good chocks indeed! Yikes!

Also, you could have an issue with the fuel pickup for the generator. It's shorter than the one for the engine so that the generator doesn't run the vehicle out of fuel. Depending on which end of the tank the pickup is in, you could run the tank low, or starve the generator early.

Yes, definitely don't operate the slides or the fridge on that angle.
