I have to back my shorter trailer into a very similar location, only it's on the other side of the house from the driveway. I have to enter at the driveway, which is only a car length long, and immediately cut across the front lawn, then zig into a near 90 degree turn to back into my spot, all the while avoiding 3 trees. I clear the entry gate by about 8" on each side. When I'm in, I have about 1 foot of clearance between the driver's side and a fence. My trailer is within 3 - 6 inches of the corner of the house roof during the last turn.
I just take my time. Sometimes I end up leaving it part way and taking a beer break.
One thing that does help some is having a backup camera on the trailer. My current truck can't take advantage of that, yet...
