    Really no way to tell until you know your clearance above your bedrails. Knowing the driveway is like that you would definately want at least 6 inches between the bed rails and the bottom of the fifth wheel. Once you have that you can try it and if needed get creative. Like puting some boards down to back the trailer onto to reduce the angle.
