Not exactly on the current topic, but it might be entertaining to know that when we had a Safari Cheetah and full-timed, I always had my concert harp up front near the Lazyboy rocker/recliner. The crown fit with exactly two inches above to spare, and I anchored it with straps bolted into the RV frame when moving. I got the idea from a friend who said she took her smaller celtic harp camping, and that it always seemed "at home" among all those trees. (Unlike pianos, harps are strung on wooden frames.) I thought she was goofy but tried it and never went out without it after that.
While I despised driving that vehicle because of its size and the clumsy, air-padded way it waddled and sloshed around the road, it also had room for my cello in the closet across the back of the bedroom. Cellos in their protective cases are space hogs, in case there's not one in your life. If you fly with one, you need to buy a second ticket for it and strap it in beside you, since you're likely to collect a pile of expensive splinters at the baggage claim if you don't.
A ukelele is a much saner travel instrument, for sure.
