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?

In an emergency, could you open it enough to squeeze in and get at the battery connections?

Worst case scenario, you could use the jack from the truck and some blocks to get disconnected (with tires blocked and safety considred), so no it's not the end of the world.
