Can a 5th wheel be backed into a loading dock?

This may be a strange question, but I will be keeping my 5th wheel in my loading dock. Would I have any issues with the slope? It's approx 40' long @ 6 degree slope. I don't have the 5th wheel yet, so I am unfamiliar with how out of level it can be while still attached to the truck before it drags it's levelers or crushes my tailgate/walls.

The ones I am looking at are between 36-39' long, double axle.

Not sure the clear of the door but I think it's 14'.

Depends a lot on the length of your 5th wheel. Moving the pin box to the lowest setting (giving you the most bed rail clearance) would help. You should also have a good collection of boards on hand in case you need to reduce an angle at the top and/or bottom.
