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,...

Where you're likely going to have an issue is at the =break= from the level ground to the dock. Landing gear may hit, as well as hitting the rear of the bed. I'd give it a try, with =lots= of eyeballs watching, and see if it'll work. Hitching/unhitching will be an adventure, I'll bet.
