Just trying to get some advice if there is anything I can do or ideas/pics of what others have done. I don’t know if it’s easy to tell from the pics how big the slope is or if I’m overthinking it?
Hey man....so what you'll find on this forum is alot of good information surrounded by MANY members who can't help themselves from being busybodys, folks that don't appear to even read the question or info (like the wheel chocks comments) and before this thread is out I bet $20 that someone is going to question the capacity of your tow vehicle!
(Seriously, even after my comment above....)
Regards to your driveway, it doesn't look that steep although you will have to jack the tongue up alot or possibly add a block under the tongue jack.
You can figure out how much approximately, pretty easy. Without calculating slope which is also easy, measure from your wheels to the jack and then hold a string level, same length above the driveway and see how much height difference. Will give you an idea how much compared to the travel in the jack.
It is not steep enough to worry about unhooking there. Back it into place. Put chocks in front of wheels. Let unit roll forward against chocks, then disconnect. Once camper is tight on chock, may need to back up a hair to get the camper to pop off the truck hitch ball easily as its going to be tight against the front of the tongue hitch.
Then level it up. May put a pad under the tongue jack first to gain addl height or worst case jack stand or crib up front of camper temporarily then retract jack and add more cribbing to tongue jack.
Don't try to support the camper weight with the stabilizers if you have those. And a floor jack to use under the trailer tongue (possibly with a block on it as well) will make the process easier if you have to crib up the tongue jack after it's off the truck.
Hope this helps!
