Our door will be 14' tall x 12' wide. The building will have 20' ceiling in the center with 16' wall height. We had it plumbed to have water and sewer clean out with easy access. My hope is for the 5er to be fully usable inside the garage if needed (shouldn't be needed but nice option to have). I agree, it will be nice to be able dump at home. It was definitely on the list of must haves in the planning stage.
We lived in our RV for 3-1/2 months inside the RV garage while getting the house finished. It might have been a lot longer except we had so much assistance with the reconstruction. One thing I did for more light was to add some Lexan side panels on the south and east sides. I didn't want skylights, too much heat during the summer. But since the sidewalls are 15 ft tall, I used 8 ft steel panels at the bottom and the Lexan panels at the top, this gave us light (but no direct view from inside or outside) and security. Most of the time I don't need to turn on the lights in the RV garage or inside the RV while packing or unpacking.
