you should get it through the back doors ok, they are a shade over 5 foot.  but make sure there is not too much overhang to the rear or super wide foot plates.frames i think they are about 4 1/2 foot between the rear arches, so make sure your rear wheel up to the arch the doors will close, you may struggle in a swb..

Where abouts are you Digger, I have aquired a rather large 3 bike trailer that could easily be adapted to hold a trike?

Have to be a VERY large one - I thought Gertie (4ft wide) would fit on a 3-bike trailer but nbg!

I don't think you're wrong - to be towed it has to be road legal.
