If your garage is only short by a few feet (2-3 maybe?), you might consider either getting a TM with a swing tongue, or buying your friend's TM and having a swing tongue installed. Your profile doesn't say where you are located, but I believe both the factory in TN and the largest dealer in CO (The Car Show) both install them.

I don't know the details, but they are here on the forum if you search for them. But by spending a few hundred bucks for a swing tongue might allow you to store it in the garage, saving alot of hassle in the end, and probably alot of money over a few years too, and eliminate the worry about your TM getting stolen/vandalized in storage.
