Do what I do.
Put your licensed motorcycle on a ramp on the FRONT of your RV, you can drive into town with your license plated bike when you need to, like when you are off on back country mountain trip and need fuel or what ever. Cops can't give you any BS. Just have a trailer hitch installed there, like the rear. Don't get a 3 wheeler, they are worthless.
Slide in your motorcycle ramp when you need it.
Most important, if you have any tongue weight to deal with while connecting your glider tow bar to the bike, install an easily removable 'training wheel rig'.
Go to Google images "motorcycles with training wheels" for that visual
and ideas.
I don't use training wheels myself, but other may find it would keep the bike from eventually falling over and getting pinned to the ground.
I use my XR 350 dirt bike. Fantastic go anywhere anytime machine as well.
A 125cc something would suffice. Multi-use is always best.

His current idea is using a three-wheeler motorcycle. It would be on a ramped flat bed suspended from the back of the RV and then the glider trailer behind that. You can see some of those ideas here http://www.mightyhauler.com/ (with a car instead of a glider). Anyone done this? So that is idea number one.
But a car might be better than a motorcycle (for events and for side trips) so is there an option for that? It might be a hair-brained idea but could an RV haul a ramped car trailer and add a glider trailer behind that? Obviously, you cannot back up but is it too long? Too dangerous? Too illegal?
Expiring minds want to know.
