They used one of those "toy haulers" to fit a Nimbus 3 and a Discus.
A bit on the gigantic side...

Jim,

I've talked with Garrett and seen pictures of their party wagon. Not
sure I'm ready for that kind of upgrade. I've got an old beater 1994
GMC 2 wheel drive V6 pickup with 256,000 miles on it that I would like
to keep for now for a tow vehicle. Not ready to upgrade a super heavy
duty diesel gas guzzler.

I'm having trouble visualizing what you typed. Perhaps its just too
early. The fuselage is ~20-22 ft long. Each wing is about 18 or 19
ft long.

I've got a friend with a Duster and because of its massive fixed
center section the solution for his trailer was to lay the wings flat
on the floor. I'm wondering if maybe a good solution for the double
Cherokee trailer would be two racks for the 4 wings on the floor. one
wing would go root first the other tip first. then the fuselages in,
one nose first the other tail first. This could potentially minimize
trailer width.
