I have a Haulmark low hauler 7'-6x12 and haul 2 Street Glides with room for luggage in the back of the trailer.....another bike isn't going to fit...well, I do have a Honda 50 it would, although that it. A buddy has a 8x14 that we hauled a Duece, a Wide Glide and Super Glide...NO baggers, with bags and a fairing 3 aint happening. A 7x16 Minimum would haul 4 baggers. My BIL has a 7x20 and he hauls 4 baggers a few times a year with 4 guys luggage. 4 girls luggage and you'll need to step up to a 24'er', lol.

I have a 8X12 garage in the rear of my Toyhauler. I carry my 2010 RK and my wifes 2012 Triglide. No problem's at all. For three touring bikes, I would get a 7X16 enclosed V-nose, take the crappy D-rings out and install the e-track system.

Trailer
I have a 7x14 V-Nose tandem axle and 3 Baggers will not fit. I'm thinking you need at least a 16ft and if you can go 8ft wide. I should have and didn't.

I have a 8.5' X20' trailer and have it set up for three bikes side by side with the center one off set.
It will hold one bagger and two cruisers. The only way to haul three baggers would be to pull them in on one side and angle them against the other side.
It would take a two axle trailer of 8.5' wide which may not be available until 18'.

A good idea would be to have electric trailer brakes, load equalizing hitch and sway control bars.
The one critical factor in placing the three bikes is to have 70% of their weight ahead of the axle and not much more or less for the trailer to handle properly.
I have been hauling boats and utility trailers since the 60's. There is no short cuts. Towing from 3,000 to 10,000 pounds is serious business.
