The bike cant move if it is properly strapped down with quality straps. Even though it has three wheels all precautions should be taken.

It drives on and off like a dream, and I can even push it on by hand with my wife on board. Maybe you can find a used one.

I tie it on with the straps that came with the trailer, usually one on the front wheel and three on each side, but that's probably overkill. It tows like a dream, and the trike doesn't bounce around at all. I've done it with and without the stone guard. I carry the two new ramps on the trailer, stowed underneath the trike and tied down, with the original ramp stowed on its original mount under the trailer.

I will attach some pictures if I can figure out how. If there are no pictures attached, send me an email and I will email them to you.
Thanks Pork. That looks like the way. Another fellow on another forum uses the same trailer.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Well I found a Drop-Tail 2 bike trailer used. I bought it and moved the right chock to the center and removed the left one. I moved the toolbox to the left chock position. It folds up nicely in the garage. A bit larger than the old Kendon single bike trail but it fits in the space ok. Don't have to worry about ramps as the drop tail becomes the ramp and then hydralics raise the tail back to level.
