Backing a 5th wheel up a Steep Driveway
I will be purchasing a HD diesel dually from one of the big 3 in addition to a 35' to 37' 5th wheel trailer. At least the desired length. I'm sending this post to ask for feedback. I have a 40' ...

I'm familiar.
Before we brought the 5th home I had the dealer remove the spare and put it in the storage bay. I had lumber to throw in the valley where the drive meets the street, but didnt need it. I'm OK but I always back into the drive at an angle. The rear levelling jacks just kiss my drive. So far, so good.
I would talk to the dealer and see if the leveleing jacks could be raised 1 or 2 holes up. Remove the underbody spare if you have one. Build some ramps. Maybe just some 4ft length of 2x6 to throw under the tires at the worst spot.
