Hooking and unhooking?

We have two driveways in which to park a 26 foot fifth wheel. Both slope down away from the rig, but one is a slope and a bit of a turn also to stay on the pavement.

We don't have a rig yet, but wonder about getting hooked up. It's a new form of RV to me. It would mean backing up the truck, then lowering the front of the rig to well off level, about 6 to 12 inches from level, then getting hitched up.

So, is it easy or difficult to slip into a fifth wheel hitch when off level, and does being out of the same straight line even complicate things more?

Thanks in advance.

Mike, some hitches will work better than others, for the type of hitching you are describing.

My driveway is a slight uphill, and the truck will not be straight, when backed in.

The B&W hitch I have now, works way better than the previous hitch I had. I am sure there are others that will work also, but I can vouch for the B&W.
