"Why not take some Jerry Cans of Fuel in the trailer....problem solved.." Brilliant idea! - Obvious once someone says it. ÌýHowever, I don't think you can take filled cans on ferries or through the Channel Tunnel - so fill them in Belgium or Luxembourg
Why not fill up at Dover, Ìýdrive via belgium toÌýÌýluxemburg [cheap plentiful petrol].Ìý Then drive down through France .........Metz - Besancon -ÌýDijon -ÌýAnnecy ......about 450miles max and into Italy - Near Besancon you are close to the Swiss border - drop the trailer [with someone guarding it] and drive into Switzerland and fill up. Ìý This assumes you have a trailer, and not a 'box van' Ìý Good luck
..... a 12 foot by 8 foot shed would be big enough to partition off a shower/toilet/handbasin area [approx 8x3] and leave enough room for a bed/settee and a kitchen area - You probably would need some extra insulation, but its 'do-able'
"its also something to be aware of that if staying in italy one has to have their presence registered in the comune in which they have accommodation..either owned or rented..Ìý .................. .. again this is an oft ignored law" Have visited Italy at least once a year for 25 years - much more since I bought the houseÌý- never registered once - I am a naughty boy
I know some people swear by them, but Snow Socks may not conform to ½ûÂþÌìÌà legal requiremenst if usedÌýin an area where snow chains should be used in Winter. Ìý Ìý Thank God for the edit facility - my original posting was about 'Snow Cocks! - still -Ìýbrings a whole new meaning toÌýfrozen chickens!
you could try using the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Yellow Pages ÌýÌýÌý and type in 'parcheggio auto'ÌýÌýÌý andÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Ìý'trepani' or 'palermo'. Ìý This should throw up a couple of options that might be worth following up.

Not sure if you can get across [or under ]Channel with a towed vehicle - you would need to ask the Ferry/Eurotunnel Operators
Have you seen ?

Have you 'Googled' yet?Ìý A quick check on 'second hand left hand drive cars' throws up some dealers that may have what you are looking for
If you need accommodation for 1 person - why not buy a largish garden shed which can still be of use after the house is complete?
