Big ask; Chattanooga Area

I know this is a long shot but thought it might we worth a try. We are coming into Chattanooga in March for my daughters’ gymnastics competition. At the end of the weekend, we heading out on spring break. I’ll have my 25’ travel trailer with me but I can’t park it at the downtown hotel due to low clearance. 
 

Does anyone have a business or know somewhere that might allow me to drop the trailer on Friday and pick it back up Sunday morning? I’d certainly lock it up but I need something a little safer than public parking. Certainly don’t mind to pay a little if needed. Any ideas?

My first thought was to contact a local rv dealership and see if they would let you pay to park there, but if they are even a little bit secure you would run into issues with a Sunday morning pickup.  So...  Unless a gracious soul comes along and offers parking, this is what I would do: I would book a site at Harrison Bay State Park and leave it there.  A second option would be a KOA.  Personally I've never stayed at a KOA, but I've stayed at several state parks.  With a state park you have built in law enforcement making regular patrols if the campground and a camp host keeping an eye on things.  If you are concerned I would speak with both when you drop off and explain the situation.  I'm one of those people who is always paranoid about people messing with my stuff, but I would leave my camper at a state park and not worry about it.

I’ve camped at the Chickamauge battleground. It was really nice and within a short walk to the battleground and a short drive to the city. The aquarium is awesome. . It was years ago.

Thanks for the suggestions. I could book the KOA lock it down and feel ok about it for $200. I would just cancel the rooms at the marriott but they are on points and not costing me a (current) dime. 
 

I bought our rig at Lazydays and of course their biggest rival is the large market Chattanooga dealer (camping world)
 

Kinda holding out hope for a local business owner with a large parking lot and a M-F business to step in. I’d make sure to show up with the beverage of choice for them along with a pile of appreciation.

I'd save the hotel points and stay in a campground.

Most reasonable campground prices I know of in the Chattanooga area are probably Chester Frost Park, but it's up in Hixson a bit north of Chattanooga proper. 

I'm about 15 minutes from downtown Chattanooga on a nice quiet street in a nice boring neighborhood. I've got a 30' parking pad for our camper that's empty right now since we winter ours in a friend's barn. If you need to park here you're welcome to it, just send me a PM.
