Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to trailers and, more particular, to Trailer storage system for use for the purpose of storing and accommodating the trailer in minimum area and space at the user home or business place.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Transport trailers are well known and may be found in a vast array of configurations, sizes, and towing capacities. Conventional trailers are highly useful and provide an easy and efficient way to haul all types of cargo. However, most trailers are bulky and occupy wide storing area at the user territory, when they are not in use.

During periods of non-use, trailers are often stored in rented or leased storage facilities, garages, or simply left outside, such as alongside a garage, shed, barn, or the like.

In an attempt to make trailers easier to use and easier to store up throughout periods of non-use, some skilled artisans have spent considerable effort and resources developing trailers that are actually configured to be incorporated with a vehicle, such that they may be stored relative to the vehicle during periods of nonuse and deployed relative to the vehicle for towing there behind.

However, it has been noticed that known forms of deployable vehicle trailers are expensive, difficult to construct, not easily deployed for use in towing, not easily stored during periods of nonuse, bulky, and difficult to construct, all of which necessitate continued improvement in the art.

The present invention dose not see the goal in changing the trailers themselves, however, the present invention main goal is to create a sheltering storage device and system for a accommodating and hosing the trailer at a non-use state, and more than that, to enable that goal in a minimum non expensive device and system.

Another goal of the present invention is to enable a minimum space and area for that device from the user land or space, ether, at home or at his business.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description present embodiments of the invention and are intended to provide an overview or framework for understanding the nature and character of the invention as it is claimed.
