How steep is too steep for offloading

[Bcubed]

Just put a deposit on a used 2013 fleet so trying to get my head wrapped around storage at home. Would like to get in the garage but kinda doubtful that I’m gonna clear the header on my garage.

Our driveway is 4 degrees, this too steep to offload on? Have been looking at a few options to then be able to move into the garage but haven’t decided which way I want to go (dolly on tracks, utility trailer). I’ve read a pile of the forum but just seeing if any new ideas

You want to offload on a level surface. There are small trailers that others have used for storage. In your case with the camper on a trailer, you can hitch it up and back it into your garage. It would be hard and risky trying to push that wait up slope. My 2¢

4 degrees is a 7% slope. I try to avoid tilting my Grandby more than about 4% front to back as I jack it cranking the jacks one at a time. I load on a slope of about 3%. First thing I do as I lift the camper is bring it to level. Same thing in reverse when loading.

The issue is the lateral load (meaning non-vertical, in this case front to rear) placed on the jack and the bending and twisting load that places on the camper jack mounting brackets. The Reico Titans are probably ok for your slope with respect to the bending load with such a light camper, but the camper brackets would be loaded in bending/twisting more than I would want to do it.

I have a section of driveway that I just measured at 6%, and I would not consider unloading there given I have a better spot.

My only other thought would be to cut a 4x4 or something similar with my mitre at a 86 degree to make it flat on the top with no slope. Not sure how stable that would be

While having a good base for the jack feet is important, it’s the tilt of the camper that’s the issue.
