Don't forget us toy hauler types: left side forward of axles.

My experiences with a regular 5th wheel and a 5th wheel toy hauler: I prefer to have the power and water midway between the rear of the rv and the axles.

When I design RV spaces, the power pedestal is normally located within the left rear 1/3 of the site.

You could also buy a 15' or 30' 50 amp RV extension cord for $50 - $100 that should take care of the problem.
