With short bed your truck is having turning radius way smaller than average for other members, so IMHO other experience doesn't apply here.
From my experience sooner or later you will have a situation when you will be forced to make max turn. When trailer might not interfere with truck/camper on 90 degree turn, it might at 180 turn.
I learned the hard way years ago that to avoid costly mistakes, with new trailer go to empty lot and do 360 degree loop at max turn, while closely observing the corners.
Good idea to have another person to watch it from outside.
When you pass that test, then you can turn your combo without sweat.
