Camper to Trailer Distance

Hey all- I want to tow a 20' car hauler behind my Wolf Creek 840 on my 1-ton DWR. The hitch I have now puts the ball right at the edge of the camper's bumper, and all weights and capacities are well within spec. So, my question is: is there a general rule of thumb for the distance from the corner of the camper to the trailer? It's the jacks that stick out the most. For example, when I pull a string from my ball to the edge of the camper, then move thru the arc toward my trailer, I see that I can turn the truck a little more than 45 degrees before contact. Is this acceptable? Or should I expect full 90 degrees with no contact?

Take the set to empty parking and try to make 360 turn, observing the camper corners coming to trailer.
