Trike and Toad - How?

Just kicking around the idea of getting a trike because DH has always wanted one and I want him to have what he wants. So the question is, if you have a motorhome, AND you are full timers, AND you want to have a toad too AND you don't want to pull an enclosed trailer or give up flat towing, what do you use?

We like what we have don't want to trade our current motorhome so toy haulers are out. We would trade out the Honda Odyssey. Maybe a truck with the Trike in the bed? Would it have to be a full size truck? We have a 10,000 pound hitch on the Knight - would that handle a full size truck and the trike?

I would love to hear suggestions. Thanks for your time.

EDITED TO ADD: Thanks for all the suggestions so far. We are going to rent a trike just to see how we like it before going too far down this road. Probably won't happen until January or so after we get done working for Amazon in Kentucky. Will keep you posted.

thanks for the responses so far. That is what we were thinking, but hey you never know. Maybe there is some magical tow bar system out there that I don't know about. (yet) 🙂
