Finding Parking spot for trailer renovations?

Hi everyone. I was hoping someone here might have a suggestion....we just bought a travel trailer that we need to renovate, but found out a little too late, we can't park it in our driveway, like we planned. We have called around to the obvious places--RV Parks, RV Storage places--but for one reason or another, that was a no-go as well. Maybe someone might have an idea of where we can find (as cheaply as possible) a place to park the trailer while we work on it. We'll probably need the space for a couple months. Any ideas?
Appreciate any help!

I think RV parks say no because they don't want construction mess. Not that you would be messy, but others might, so they have such rules.

What kind of renovation are you doing? Are you going to be doing sawing and drilling with power tools? Or is this minor stuff you can do quietly on the inside? I think this would make a big difference. You might try other storage facilities and explain to them exactly what you will be doing. We really need more details before we can make suggestions.

It might be more expensive, but I know when my son had to store my dad's antique boat, he rented a really big indoor storage place and was able to lock everything up. How big is your trailer? And is it in good enough shape to tow?

What you really need is a very good friend with a pole barn on a farm! :)

Judy is right on with her comments.
Have you checked to see if you could rent garage or barn space nearby?
