Parking in Philly

Starting to plan ahead for next summer.
We'll be traveling from New York to DC and it appears Philly is just about in the middle. We'd like to stop for half a day and do the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Battleship New Jersey, etc.

The problem is we well have the TT with us.

I'm sure I'm not the first to encounter this issue.

I have no idea if there are subways/trains or taxis that could take us to the area from wherever we park.

Any suggestions on where to park or how to get to our desired area?

Thanks in advance

    If there's no event going on, you can park for free near the stadiums and catch the subway from there. It's not immediately clear exactly where to go when one gets there; asking around is perhaps the best idea, or making reference to the map from the web site after getting one's bearings. Even if you have to pay to park, this might be one of the more convenient and reasonable options...though I don't know what their rates are on non-free days.

    I would not want to try to navigate Philly, nor especially try to find parking in the city proper with a trailer. It's tricky enough enough with a small car. Many streets are quite narrow, and corners sharp, and a lot of the parking is in multistory garages that are not at all suitable for trailers.
