There is no good way to haul bikes on the rear of a TT, it doesn’t matter how many do it and get away with it, or how you strap them down… mount them close enough for the handlebars to poke holes in the back of the trailer and the weight is still cantilevered far behind the axle and dynamically over stresses the chassis and suspensions…
Five bikes, a 4 wheeler and fire wood sound like it’s time to get a toy hauler that’s why the make them, to fill those needs…
I think you are far exaggerating the possible stress. 5 bikes just past the bumper is nothing compared to a full black tank at the back of the frame in terms or stress on the suspension and frame, yes it's closer, but far heavier and it sloshes..
Toy haulers are over priced for poor quality, see it time and time again. I would love one, if you didn't have to spend 2x the cash to get the same quality.
