Just bought a 2619. I got it in my carport somehow

. I have an alley with fence and telephone pole hazards. I could only get the TM backed in halfway and had to disconnect & push by hand to get it parked.

I have read a lot of posts and if I'm not mistaken, some recommend a front hitch for tight maneuvering such as this. The front hitch sounds great, since it would solve another problem for me (bike rack) but I'm not clear on how it helps with the tight spaces. I am thinking of when angling the TM into its spot - the limited space between corner of TV and front of TM. If I recall, when I was backing the TM, I could only angle so far.

Obviously the forward vision is 100% better but are there other advantages to a front hitch in a tight space ?

THANKS !!
