Left to Right Tilt

I need to put in a road at my place to get in and out of the barn where I store my TK3. The road needs to be placed on a sloping hill. Realizing it will depend on how the trailer is loaded and whether or not the tanks are full, I am wondering how much of a left to right incline would be safe , so that ther would be no danger of flipping over. I think that the incline might have to be 15 degrees or so, but I think that this will be quite ok. Any thoughts?

I tend to think that the center of gravity for the trailer is not too much higher than a foot or above the floor in the trailer. a great deal of the trailer wieght is in the frame, running gear, tanks, tires and basement load. I am guessing that the top four or five feet of the trailer amounts to not much more than 20 percent of the trailer. I suppose the ACs and the appliances, furniture, and the heavy cabinets could add up quickly though.
