FIVE bikes is ALOT to put in any one spot. You're talking probably around 300 lbs once you figure in the bike rack, and as you will find through searching other threads, I think folks here have had mixed results putting them at the rear of the TM.

You might consider mounting a few bikes to a hitch at the FRONT of your TV, and a few on the roof of your TV. That may take care of all of them, and then you don't have to put anything on the TM. That would also enable you to take the bikes somewhere on a day trip without the TM in tow -- either from home, or perhaps a side trip while camping.
