During our cross country trips, we often stay hooked up overnight. It helps to ask for a level campsite as you check in, and to get the tow vehicle lined up straight with the trailer. It is possible to do some fore-and-aft levelling of the trailer while hooked up. Releasing the WDH springbars will drop the nose an inch or two. Or the tongue jack can raise the nose an inch or two.

We had a 2002 Explorer, and then a 2007 Explorer. With both, we could leave it hooked up, and still open the upper half of the tailgate - the glass, in other words. We now have a 2014 F-150. We can stay hooked up, and can (barely) open the tailgate.

To some extent, it will depend on the length of the shank on your WDH. A short shank makes it less likely that you can open the tailgate or lift gate.
