:P :P :new-bday: So my father in law got himself a new tractor for his farm. He cleaned out his storage container so he can use it as a garage. AND GAVE US THE TOOLS!!! We now own a floor mounted drill press, big sander, a welder, and rolls of 4 wire- 8 gauge that we need for pull to subpanel. :P :P

And we are getting a 1Ton engine hoist tomorrow so we can unload the pickup. Good thing I've been cleaning and got our double trike stand to usable point.

So we recently purchase a pair of recumbent trikes (pedal power). Now I have to figure out how to transport them. Mine doesn't fold and is 30"w x 6'8"l x 32"h. They both have 26" wheels. Husbands is about the same size. It can fold but it's a trial to do so. The two trikes do not fit in truck bed without tailgate down.

Does the following model look okay? The parent bed is a queen longways down the trailer. Crossways doesn't work for my 6'3" hubby. The clear space at end of storage steps is approx 5' x 5'.

Kids are in the V-nose? Or, fold up bunks under parent bed, remove trikes for sleeping?

Kids are in Vnose. Still debating 3 bunks as shown with a little bit over 2' vertical space or youngest one trundle bed.

Need to be able to sleep with trikes inside for transit. An additional option under consideration is getting be a folding trike but the are $2k+ used. Then putting youngest under foot of bed.
