Hell, with the 6' between the pig and camper couldn't you park both bikes at an angle with the front tires near the camper and the rears toward the pig to still allow access to the camper. That should also stagger the bars to get them closer together. Just a thought.
You're going to put an awful lot of weight on the tongue the way it looks.
No tongue, tis a 5th wheel. What are you worried about? Hitting the trailer on Todd's rig when you see him and he's going wheeling while you're passing him on your way for a manicure?

Less weight on the truck than when the camper was in the back of the truck and it had 800# or so of trailer tongue weight cantilevered over the back.
Now it has less weight on the fifth wheel than it would if it had a full travel trailer on it because the travel trailer goes all the way to the front with the bed, it's taller and it had the black, grey and fresh water tanks all in the front of the trailer.

Google sketchup. Free 3d modeling software. Crazy good. Better in a lot of ways than AutoCAD or Inventor.
I fabricated goosenecks for Dynaweld Inc. If you want I'd like to see how your build is progressing PM me or Phil has my cell #.

I went and took some measurements.
Damn 30' is a long trailer.
Maybe 27 with a 30" dovetail.

You don't need to haul those bikes anyway.
Is it 27 feet including the raised part? Or 27' of flat area on the parking level?

27 on the flat + 7'7 of front deck.
I might be looking for some axles too. they might be 3500# after all. Tough to tell.

Hell Gum, you know in a lot of states (not sure about Illinois) as long as your first trailer is a fifth or goose, you can pull a second trailer. Such as them motorized bikes. What says your big city state laws?
Just like what Carl pulled to the 2nd annual jambo to the cliffs or was it the 3rd jambo.... You would then be able to trailer 4rnrs 92 too
