Rick, you conniving devil. You've always had a 'make it work' mentality.
To the O.P.: why don't you turn the camper around on the trailer and all the way forward? Makes access to the tongue much easier for moving. A very HD tongue wheel would help a lot here for stability. How about a tongue wheel for the rear of the trailer too, kind of like training wheels?
I used my tow bar on the front of my CJ8 connected to a ball on the rear of my car trailer to move it into position on a pad next to the house. With the HD tongue wheel cranked down I could turn it on a dime in lo/lo and had to with the Z pattern approach, the tongue wheel waving back and forth. Then I cranked down the rear jacks and drove the CJ-8 right up on the trailer. People always wondered how the the trailer tongue was forward out in space, and how did I get the whole thing back there.
Luckily, no CC&R's for us.
There's always a way. Just follow Rick's lead.
