Merry Christmas,
My driveway slopes from passenger side of truck to drivers side about 3" and from front to back a little more. What i have found is the left ( passenger ) to right is more critical than the front to back which can be adjusted with the jacks. I know some will say that you can use the jacks to adjust the left-right but the jacks don't affect the truck so that when raising or lowering the camper the truck is always going to be at a slight tilt because of the angle of the driveway. With some campers or trucks this may not be a problem. But with mine it is. For one the clearance between the camper and the truck is minimal,2 the bed on newer trucks is tapered,greater in the front than the back. Now 3" is not a great amount but there is no way to load the first time without making adjustments and there is no way to unload without it hitting (minor)Picture 2 boxes 1 slightly bigger than the other, hold one level and twist one a slight amount and try to slide one into the other. So to answer your question you will have to try as I have many many times before you will know.
