Parking for cycle trip on the Rhine

I am leading a Group of 7 on a 5 night cycling/camping trip from Mainz to Trier. The problem is that we need a spot to park our vehicle and small trailer while we are biking. The campgrounds I have contacted so far in the Mainz area do not allow parking for that many nights -- even for a fee it seems. Any ideas or information is most welcome! Thanks!

Basically, as long as you have a valid license plate, you can just park your vehicle wherever parking is generally allowed.

Aside from possible safety concerns though, there is a (very small and probably negligible) risk: For road construction projects, moving companies, special events etc., temporary "no parking" signs can be erected. These temporary signs need to be put up three days before the event so people have a chance to move their cars. Cars that are not moved by then will be towed away.
