How wide is your driveway ?

We are moving next month and are planning to redo the driveway on the side of the house to store the RV. Wall to wall is exactly 11 feet. The width of our current class C is 8.7 feet. We also plan to upgrade to a class A (33 feet or less in a year) . Attached is the picture . Do you think it is too tight for our current class C and the future class A ?

  • Another thing to look for is tilt of the RV when backing in. If the ground isn't flat enough the top of the RV can tilt to one side quite a bit. You can drive over a curb or such to figure out how much yours will tilt.

    If you can back straight in ignore this post.
  • winpa4k , you are right. Thanks . I will come back and check it out again. Escrow closed a few days ago and we haven't had the time to plan for the RV.

    rgatijnet1 and J-Rooster . Thanks for the replies.
  • All I can do is give you the dimensions for my coach which may be different for another rig. My wide body Monaco is 102"(96" inside) with 12" on each side for the mirrors. This gives a total outside to outside dimension of 126".
    You say that you have exactly 11 feet(132"). Obviously any windows or anything else that protrudes from the walls will have to be considered.
    Basically if you have a wide body Class A coach you will have 3" to spare on each side. If you get one of the narrow body Class A units, this will gain you an additional 3" on each side.
    Not ideal and with care it could be done. You will have to take your tape with you and measure any RV that you plan to buy.
  • It looks like there might be a roof overhang. How high is it? It might take 20inches from the 11 feet.
