Hey, all - I need some help finding a particular kind of RV space.We live in our Class A Tiffin full-time. Within the next few months we will need some temporary space to complete a work project. Ideally we would like to rent a trailer, cabin or even a garage/shop (if it is heated/cooled) as long as it has full hook-ups for our RV. As for location, we would prefer being in the Houston/Gulf Coast area but at this point we are pretty open to anything as long as we won't freeze to death.I've been combing Craigslist and AirBnB with zero success and I'm honestly at a loss as to how to approach this. Can you think of other ways I could look for a space like this?THANKS!!

A project for what? The RV itself or somewhere else?If it is a RV project that can be done as you live in it check working boatyards. We have been using a boatyard for some years as our base for anything maintenance & repairs.

What kind of a "work project"? Do you need clean space for writing, drawing, etc? A Houston realtor should be able to find you a short term house rental. Or are you looking for shop space to saw, drill, sand, etc? A commercial realtor should be able to help with shop space.If you are looking for clean inside space, you would probably be better off storing the RV and living in the place you are renting while working on the project rather than finding a place with FHU onsite.Industrial shop space you're more likely to find FHU onsite.

But your idea of using a boatyard to work on you rig is an amazing idea! Somehow we've always managed to find RV parks that don't mind letting us do major work on our rig but if our luck ever turns, I will definitely look at using a boatyard.When you do your work at a boatyard, do you live in your RV right at the boatyard?

Any idea how long you will need the space?

Put an ad on Craigslist for what you want and in the area you want.

Back in my pipelining days when the camps were full, and we late hires had to look/ make do, find a place to hookup in farm and ranch country a visit to the local supply store always found us a place in a farmers yard, at an abandoned -underused work site with buildingsthat might suit you.
Look to places that have had a recent or seasonal construction boom ,or are in population decline due to mechanization of agriculture. Theres new constructed buildings for lease that might welcome an attendant.

When you do your work at a boatyard, do you live in your RV right at the boatyard?

When in the boatyard we are onboard the trailer too. The boatyard belongs to a relative. We have been doing this routine since 2007.

Really enjoy our stay every time. We have an adapter for marine 30A. A twist & lock type. We are right next to the water. Tires have been in the water a few times at extra high tides.

It is a real working boatyard. A dying breed filled with lots of history, character & characters. They have a full workshop. If I don't have the tool I need they probably do. The trailer gets it's annual full waxing here. Set up the A frames, find a long board to go between them & away we go.

We complain to the owner about no fire ring, no FHU & no picnic table. We get threatened with being launched by the travel lift if we stay too long.
