You don't need to get behind the camper. All you need is to get it far enough back that whatever's on the tongue clears the camper.

My big flatbed tows just fine with only a standard shank under my 18" overhang.
That sounds ideal if you are driving on nice paved roads... What if your going over some harsh road conditions... I would be worried the trailer may contact my camper due to the pivoting.
