I know it's not about homemade vehicles, but I thought some here may be interested in my trike transporter.
Those of you who live where you can ride from your house don't need something like this, but I don't, and so, I do.
We have a small SUV, with barely room inside for one trike, let alone anything else, so something else was needed.
It seems that most people with this problem resort to elaborate, and usually very expensive, rear hitch carriers, but I have more parking area than money.
So, this is my multipurpose mini utility trailer, made from a shortened and refurbished boat trailer - Nice sturdy galvanized frame.
It has stake sides, a kayak rack, and this trike carrier - All can be mounted in the stake pockets around the frame.
The wheel chocks are sold for attaching to one of those rear hitch platforms (I have one, and HATE it), to carry bikes, but were perfect for this use.
With the trikes strapped down to the trailer frame, the whole thing becomes totally rigid, and nothing moves, no matter how bumpy the road.
And, in case anyone wonders - I purposely left the off-side boards long, just to remind me how much clearance is needed to back up
