All you SW Florida people.
My in-laws have a condo in Ft. Myers off Colonial Dr area.
I was planning on bringing the TI down for a week over Memorial Day and for a few long weekends over the summer.
As is normal in FL.. No trailers are allowed in the condominiums. I havent measured the garage down there to know if the TI will fit inside.
Does anyone know if there is short term parking for a week at a time down there? How do you condo dwellers manage the TI and a trailer?
Thanks

If no replies from natives of Ft Myers try internet search for RV/boat parking lots, I am further north and not native to Ft Myers.

Click the following links

GOOGLE SEARCH FTMYERS RV/BOAT PARKING

Appears Craig's List Ft. Myers has storage sites for starting near $35 for a month.

RV720 starts at $85 for a month. Search around wide range of prices.

Thanks SemperFnJ.
My parent lived in Punta Gorda for a long time but moved last year. I never gave much thought to having a place to park. I measured by boat and trailer today and will give the condo complex a call tomorrow. Hopefully someone there will know exact length of the garage. I need 19'4".
Otherwise I'll start checking some of the storage places.

Try TowboatU.S. Charlotte harbor, on Pine island. They let me leave my boat trailer and tow vehicle there while I camp out on Cay Costa State Park. Very responsible rates and great people. :D

call 239-283-6060

Now there business is towing but they have a little parking lot and a small earthen boat ramp that my 21SE squeezes through.

get the width too for a diagonal fit <= sqrt(L**2 + W**2)

I used to jam both a car and boat trailer diagonally into a small carport.

clik https://www.google.com/search?q=sqrt%28 ... B+9**2+%29
and overtype 17 with garage length and 9 with width



I was told that there would be NO MATH! :o
Its a single car garage and fairly narrow door so I wont be able to get it in diagonally.
I looked the condo up on Zillow and its listed as having 230 sq. ft. garage. Seems logical to assume that to be 10x23 with an 8' door? I'll take the boat with and
cross my fingers.
