Where, how to store a folding tricycle?
..We like to bring bicycles with us when we camp. Really like riding where ever we go. It used to be that all of us would ride - me, DW, and both the kids. The kids especially, like to ride a lot. ...

Have you considered the Swagman? They have a foot that will fit on the MH hitch and if you don't have room add a short extension. They also have a extra high model. You might be able to mount the trike face down by the rear axle, folded or not and a modified cross support brace might be needed. The rack folds down and that could help with mounting.

Yes, I've considered racks like that. Problem is, like I said, there's not enough room for the 'foot' for racks like that to fit on our towbar. Yes, an extension would solve that, but I don't want to extend our tow bar out any more. Its already extended out some by the drop receiver bar we need. Extending it more would put that much more stress/torque on the receiver as well as make the tow bar even more prone to scrape when we go over bumps or inclines.
Right now, I'm going to do like Don (Burbman) suggested, and start looking around for a used DiBlasi folding trike. :)
