How far can my TT lean?

How far can my TT lean before worrying about it tipping over, frame damage, or something of the like. I have a split driveway and I'm trying to see if my TT can fit in the top part of the split. There is a fair amount of slope to the driveway. I don't know how to explain the severity of the slope or how you would explain this to me. Maybe pictures or some kind of measurement?

    Percentage of incline is done by putting the vertical drop over the horizontal measurement.

    Take an eight foot stud... almost 100 inches. Put on end on the ground, and use your level to hold it horizontal. Measure from the other end of the board on the same surface (the side touching the ground) to the ground.

    If you have 10 inches from the board to the ground, then you have 10/100... (10/96 technically) but that is a ten percent grade.
