How do you plan to see around the front of the trailer while you travel along that 300ft driveway? Can't wiggle back and forth and see where your are going like you can with the tongue on the rear of the truck. I can see making it easier to back in from the street however.
Personally, I would just use my mirrors and back in all the way like normal.

I wish it were that easy, trust me. I have a mailbox on one side of the driveway entrance, and it's on the side that I need clearance on (due to the way the driveway width tapers from entrance width to its narrow width).
I'm experienced with backing a trailer into position. I can keep the trailer on the driveway, or the truck on the driveway, but not both. When I go offroading and the ground is wet, I mess up the yard pretty good.
I bought a ParkIt360 Force10k and I've used it once. Unfortunately it's not quite as effortless as I hoped. I'll take some YouTube videos soon and share them here; it's on my to-do list. Plus again, the whole rain thing.
I've been pondering the visibility aspect too. I'm hoping I can either solve it or deal with it. Maybe a couple of cheap Chinese magnetic wireless cameras that I can stick on the trailer frame and view on my phone, who knows... Those could be handy for hitching up too!
Also considering adding some stone along the driveway. :)
It's all on the table...
