    No.  The Alde will run regardless of level, however, your frig must be level when running on LPG.  Lucky you, I do not think the new Air 8 A/C unit requires any kind of drain system, so no need to position the TaB nose down like the window style A/C units.

    Funnily enough, my 2019 tab 400 has the front mount ac. I ran it in 90 plus degrees and it kept the inside below 65 easily. It has a drain pipe running from under the trailer and it dripped like a window AC. The trailer was level and everything worked fine. Never had to "lean" the trailer.

    The “lean” technique only applies, really, to the 2019 and older 320S with the Danby window style AC unit.

    @Tundra57 are sure there was a drain pipe? My 2019 400 with front ac just Cascades over the edge out of the drip pan. I have found no drain, maybe they didn't install one?

    There is no drain tube on the Cool Cat A/C units in the 2019 T@B 400’s.They have a tray that the condensation drips onto and then it drains/drips through the grill to the outside.

    Well mine must have been modified. I was going to fit one till I took off the grill and saw the tube fitted. I ran the AC and sure enough the tray filled and ran down a clear tube drilled through the floor to the outside. I thought it was a standard Nucamp mod. The grill outside was well sealed around the edge and appears to have not been removed until I did. Wierd!
