Yes. The trike is 11 feet long. The trailer bed is 12' x 5'. There are fittings on it to hold the trailer and two upright bikes. Most of the weight of the loaded trailer is just the trailer, so it fits within the towing weight and tongue weight limits of the van with no problem. The gas mileage goes to hell, though.
I have a
web page describing ordering and assembling the trike, adding fittings to the trailer, and a making a chain tensioner for the stoker to captain's chain.
To answer another comment, the trike is kept in the garage and the trailer sits in the yard or driveway. I'm lucky to have enough space!
