If he's trying to maneuver into a tight campsite, its not his technique. I extended the tongue on my camper exactly for this purpose. I can get the trailer at <90 angle to my car, and I've needed to do so many times. Not all campsites are wide open spaces.
Deceiver, I bought one of those hitch extensions for the rear of my teardrop, so I could use a little cargo tray. The extension came with a disclaimer that said it will decrease the capacity of the hitch, but I can't imagine it would decrease it below the tongue weight of your trailer. Check with the label that is on the extension.
