Ground clearance 5th vs TT

I'm curious of anyone knows the average ground clearance difference between a TT and a 5th wheel.

Back story: I've got a few concerns about clearance.

First - We want to keep our next rig at the house. We've got a ~10 to ~15 degree slope on our driveway and from the looks of things it appears that a 5th would give us a few extra inches of clearance when backing in to park at the house. I'll have to back up

Second - I'd be using the rig several times a year to camp semi-off road at RC festivals. Think fields and very minor off-road.
  • I would think your biggest concern backing into the driveway is the distance from the rear axle to the rear of the trailer. The longer the distance the less slope you could handle.
