Dan,
I like campgrounds....off-season. We do a wide splay of camping styles. What ever presents itself, we are there. I like your rig. It is a good, solution to off-road camping in style.
The front receiver hitch idea is a good one. We have used ours to good avail backing trailers into tight spaces. Just back in as far as you have to have a pass around or find a "T" intersection to back into to turn on the Wye. Long trailers like yours are easy to back up, unlike short jeep trailers. Like a siding on a railroad. Back in a little ways. Unhitch (with trailer brake on or wheel chocks) with the tongue wheel down. Turn the TV around to face the tongue. Hitch up to the front . Wheel up. Its very easy to go quite a ways as you can see the trailer in front of you. You may have to lean out the door to see around the trailer. Leave it hooked to the TV. It will be interference if anyone else tries to occupy the same real estate. When you are done camping, back out the same way to the same place as before. Deconstruct your former moves.
This would all become second nature for you. However, I still think this is all more trouble than it's worth and stay with Brian's solution: move on to a pull-through site.
