I don't worry about it. Mine will hit the jack no matter how it is turned. I just make sure every thing is in the truck before I hookup. Easy Peasy
But if it works for you... Great.
Honestly. Every camper we have ever had prevented the tailgate from opening all the way. And We have had aprox 8. So it is something we have learned to work around. I'm NOT getting an extended shank, as that could cause sway. I like my TT closer to the TV axle. Much better control.
What ever I might need when hooked up. I keep either in the TT outside storage, (leveling blocks, chairs, chocks, cords.....) or inside the TT itself. (Food, water, grill, campstove...) The only thing we carry in the truck bed is bikes, air compressor, and fire wood So it is not a problem for us.
