I already have the MorRyde extended pinbox. Short pinbox would be impossible
I don't think an extended pinbox will solve this issue. All that will do is make the rear end of the pinbox hit your tailgate when closed.
You only have two options really. The Vee tailgate, or just live with jockeying in and out of your truck during the hitching process. Been there done that.
1. Open tailgate.
2. Back in until the pinbox is fully ahead of the rear of the bed.
3. Get out and close the tailgate.
4. Get back in and backup until the pin is hitched.
5. Get pissed off and go order a Vee tailgate.
A 3rd option is to just leave your tailgate at home. Some folks do that, and maybe use a piece of 2 x 12 lumber across the very rear to keep stuff from sliding out.
I agree with your assessment . You would think that RV 5th wheel designers would have this small detail built into the design. Should be able to open the tailgate :)
