Thanks for ALL of your comments! I won't respond to them all individually, but like many mentioned, I could cut the overhang. I thought about it, making it hinged. But my wife did not like that at all, it would look too ugly.
I only do this maneuvering a few times a year, and I think it is a fun challenge :). If we are heading out soon after a previous trip, I just leave it in the front, although I can't extend the slide-out then.
This hasn't been frustrating enough to make me grade the path yet, but it is one of my future projects, to grade and pave it.
