Expert Reply:
You can definitely slide your Thule cargo box like # TH614 all the way to the passenger side of the crossbars to allow for easier loading/unloading of your cargo and bikes. This won't cause any issues during travel and it's also going to make it a lot easier for you to gain access to the box since you won't have to reach as far.
Something you might be interested in to help with this process is the Rightline Gear Moki Door Step # RL100660. This portable step simply hooks onto the U-shaped latch in your doorway to provide easier access to the roof. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.
