I thought of this, but the ceiling is too low.

Just orient the valve stems so they can be inflated periodically if needed. Perhaps a tire store could provide used tubes for next to nothing.
This might work for the time being.

What about something like a pipe rack, but with only one row? A stand like that, with wide padded "shelf" like areas. Have them sitting so that the bed is on its side. Just have wide pads so the bed doesn't dent.

I would suggest a similar rack design, but instead of pads have brackets come off to bole the bed to it using the factory holes. This would work, but you would need at least three people to attach the bed. Kind of a PITA.
I prefer to keep them inside. Damn tweekers will run off with them to the scrap metal yard.

Long term, I am leaning toward the rack design bolting to the factory mounts, but as a rotisserrie so I can lock the frame flat, bolt the bed and then rotate it to verticle.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
