The only problem is that it is about 4 inches to long to fit in our garage. My wife and I are going to remeasure tomorrow. Maybe if we turn it slightly it will fit. Will have to wait and see. If I could only take off the rear bumper some way.
As said above, does it have the swing hitch? If so, that's 2 extra feet of space. If you're still short 4 inches even with the swing... well, I've heard that there are welders out there who can make the whole tongue removable, which would gain you that extra space. I've also heard tale of someone who decided to put the TM in nose-first, and built a cut-out box in the wall where the nose of the hitch needed the extra few inches of space, so they were able to fit that way.

Keeping the TM tilted for storage would only impact the fridge. I simply don't know if long term storage (not use, but storage) of the ammonia absorption system on an angle would be detrimental or of no effect. Perhaps someone else here can comment on that. Personally, I'd modify the tongue and fix the problem that way.
