Door height
Seven years I had a building built 14" tall so I could get a larger RV at some point. I knew nothing about doors, floors and sidewalls, but I told the large building company what I wanted. Bottom line...

I am sorry that I am not clear. As a single woman with very little mechanical/constructional ability, all I know is that my door will only accommodate a camper 11'8''. It is considered a 12' door, but the Cleary building guy measured it last night and alas....not a full 12'. I live on an acreage, and do not want to pay for storage since I built this building to house my present RV with hopes of upgrading. As I said, the Cleary rep did not hear what I was saying and I got what I got. Since I am struggling to understand how the distance to the bottom of the trusses matters, I figured all I could get in there was something less than 11'8''. Concrete floor. Wood trusses going the wrong direction to slip in between.
Yes, I could come out the front, move the door. But I am pretty particular how things look and my building in is line with the garage, and when you drive into the acreage you can see my vineyard, which is pretty.
As previously said, money is an issue. Since I am on a limited pension, I cannot revamp this building much and continue with my long-term plans on money lasting. I mentioned the building so as to explain my difficult situation.
I guess I am really asking for advice on trailers, since 5th wheels will not work in this building. I would like to have two slides and would like the trailer to be around 28'. Until I actually hear back from Cleary on how much it will cost to add 10' to the back of the building, I will not know how long I can get. However, I know myself and since I presently pull a 25' trailer, am not sure that I can handle much more than 28' with the difficulties in fuel stations, campground, etc. As I mentioned, I am alone and need to simplify and still enjoy my RVing.
I go out for several long weekends a year, and one 4 -6 week long trip a year.
I have two great Pyrenees dogs, which is the reason for an upgrade with two slide rather the one small slide I presently have.
Sorry, this probably seems inane to your seasoned men and woman, but it is serious to me.I have pulled a trailer for over 25 years, just short ones.
I would love to have an awesome 5th wheel with all the room in the world, but I have to live within my means and hoped I could get some advice. Please forgive my not giving enough information to begin with.
