I understand your concern, especially after damaging your fridge because it wasn't level. However, that was from running it continuously in the same unlevel attitude. While driving, the attitude of the vehicle is constantly changing.
There is an RV refrigeration specialist's shop near me. The shop owner told me that operating the fridge while driving shouldn't damage the fridge. However, they said if you expect the RV to sit in the same position for more than an hour, you should level it or shut it off until you are in motion again.
