We have a similar setup, a 2 bay door and a 1 bay door. A 2619, no swing hitch. The garage door misses the tip of the hitch by less than an inch. (Our trailer is old so it has the spare on the back. My backup plan was to remove the spare if it didn't fit).

We fit 2 pickups and the TM in the garage. The TM takes the center position. The brackets where the wheels end up are spray-painted on the floor.

I have to remove the other pickup when I am backing the TM in. To add extra excitement, our garage is aligned with the driveway so the "straight shot" in lines up with the small door And the DW has a bed full of priceless plants along one side of the driveway. Fortunately the other side has grass to give me some wiggle room.

I have to go in at an angle to get behind the pillar between the large and small doors. DW spots and tells me as soon as the end of the front shell is clear of the pillar so I can start to straighten out.

Years of experience has gotten me to the point that with the DW spotting I can back in to the point that the tongue wheel will set down past the "hump" up into the garage floor. I unhitch at that point and we push it the last foot or so.
