We've pulled in forward many times when camping with friends and family staying in the next site but we have never done it for the view. Our rig is mainly for sleeping and for sometimes getting out of bad weather. Otherwise, being outside is what we enjoy. We've found that relaxing in our camp chairs, usually around the campfire, are perfect for socializing and facing the direction we like.
I do carry 25 foot 30 amp extension cord and extra 25 foot water hose.
