This isn't the exact same question but it does involve backing a 5th wheel by a newbie. Can I add this scenario here? We just changed from a 42 FT Diesel Pusher to a 34 ft 5th wheel being towed by a F250 Gaser. We did our due diligence and we are perfectly setup for the weight etc of our rig and it pulls as if it is not even there. However, our pad where we park is on a step hill with a gravel driveway. When I say steep, I mean maye a 45 degree hill that is fairly long as driveways go.... perhaps 200 ft. We can't keep enough traction to get the rig up on the pad. Tires spin on the gravel. Suggestions have been to asphalt it..(about $5k) or to add crush and run to it (about 1.5K but concerned it will wash away in rain), to abandoned ur $40k pad and give up. I don't want to put more $ into something that will ultimately fail. Thoughts?
