If using the leveling jacks to lift the camper to change a flat, would there be an issue with leaving the camper connected to the fifth wheel hitch?

i had a flat last year …it was the back drivers side tire on my 315 rls. I used the anderson blocks under the front tire on the same side as the flat…i made a ramp out of the leveling blocks…i needed to do this because my leveling jack in the back wasn’t long enough to lift the tires off the ground…if i had more blocks i possibly could have ..i then used the rear leveling jack and it was enough to lift the rear tire off the ground because the suspension was extending.( maybe i could have just used the andersen blocks under the rear jack)
i don’t think it matters if you use just the rear jacks with the truck connected because it’s the same as if your backing up a hill…the hitch will pivot…if it was the front tire i’d probably disconnect the hitch and use all four jacks ….you should also carry a bunch of extra wood blocks.
also i have road reflector triangles and a yellow safety vest
