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. ...

jaycocamprs: Thank you so much, for posting those pictures! You've given me an idea. :)
I honestly had not thought about putting the trike on the bike rack that way, with the seat post on the bike rack cradle and rear wheels pointing upward. I've got to start thinking outside the box more, haha. :)
Using that approach, I just might be able to put a trike and 2 of our other bikes on the 4 bike rack we have on the back of the Fusion now. Then, the other bike, my daughter's smaller kid's bike (20" wheels), could probably go either in the trunk or the back seat of the Fusion since its a bit smaller.
We're going to be at a large Camping World store here in a few weeks. When we go I think I'll bring 2 bikes on the bike rack, and see if Camping World has one of those trikes assembled, a floor model. If so, Will see if maybe they will let me 'borrow' it long enough to take it out to their parking lot and see if it will fit on our bike rack using this approach. If it will, I believe we will buy it and take this approach.
Tyrone & Gladys: Thanks for your suggestions as well. Angie (DW) will have nothing to do with recumbent bikes like that Terra Trike you mentioned, so thats not an option.
However, the 'Atoc' racks you provided a link to, are very interesting. That may be something we look into as well, although those racks aren't cheap, either.
