No I can't open the tailgate. I've read suggestions about adding an extension to the hitch which would move the trailer further away, but it wasn't really an issue. For one night stops where I didn't unhitch I also didn't need anything from the back of the jeep.
Just returned from 6k mile trip from Maryland to Glacier NP, then down through Yellowstone, Tetons and into Colorado and home. The Jeep did a great job in all conditions pulling the Scamp. I do plan to add rear spring bags to help level out the jeep so the headlights don't blind oncoming...
