Here's one way to transport the teepee,poles,and belongings.The other is on top of a pickup rack,but the bigger your teepee the longer the poles.Poles for this 18 footer are 26' long.A 12 footer you can get by with 21' long poles.

JW_Halverson:
I'd be afraid of smacking utility lines with that rig! 

With my A frame the longest poles I carry are 8 footers!  I gots it eaaaaasssssyyyyyy!

Actually the tips of the poles are'nt really that high once hooked to the truck.Less than 10 feet.Less than semi-trucks.I pulled it all over the state of Iowa and into South Dakota.Tracked behind my truck like a lazer.You do get some funny looks though and never was stopped by the policia....LOL.A person should have a shed to park it in.One of the great things about it was that everything is nice and at a handy reach when loading and unloading.There were other versions of the use of a 30 gallon barrel to put the butt ends of the poles in at rendesvous.
Probably the best if you're a trader is a bus of some size,but then the gas mileage is pretty poor.Here's a picture of the art work done on the back of it.
