Can't access front storage when hooked up to long bed truck.

We can't get into our front storage when hooked up. This is where the batteries are located plus hydraulics. Is this a huge issue? Is a slider hitch our only solution? What problems could come up?

As Old-Biscuit's examples you need a long pin box, I'm surprised you do not hit your bumper against you rig...

I have a very big front hatch door and have no trouble opening our up, as well can lower my tail gate on my truck and still have about 10 inches of space between the TV and 5th wheel ...

I personally would be looking for a new pin box if I had that problem but that's just me :)

Hopefully safe travels
