Beautiful property you have there, BTW. I would be very tempted to build some sort of carport or garage to put the RV in if I had that much room. We covered our unit in the backyard last year and had tons of condensation inside and outside of the trailer so we went back to indoor storage this year.
Thx, bought 5 acres back in '03 just before prices skyrocketed. Should have bought a few more! Built a custom house with attached workshop/garage in an authentic 100 year old Arts & Crafts style. I did build a foundation for a separate carport for the trailer 5+ years ago. But at my age now, I have sort of run out of steam and motivation for any more construction and besides we're now away about 2 months every summer. I would so love to have a carport to be able to just back the TT into. I spent quite a few years living in Victoria and forgot how much it rains here over the winter. :M When we got our current TT, over the 1st winter most of the interior trim around the doors warped like crazy from humidity and had to be replaced. Have now been using a couple of dessicant dryers which *seem* to be working okay. May get an electric dehumidifier. If I were to redesign the garage, I'd probably have made it taller to be able to put the TT inside.

Color me jealous of the BC campers. You guys have some of the most beautiful places on the planet. I've travelled North to Dawson creek and BC is begging me back, lol.
Have been around BC a lot on business and holidays and yes it is beautiful with all the mountains, lakes and greenery everywhere. Have only been to a BC CG with our TT 4 times! We much prefer the US as there's such a diversity in scenery, culture, climate, attractions, people, etc. Can't wait to eventually take the TT around the eastern and southern areas of the US. Have been told many times to avoid the southeastern states in the summer tho. due to high humidity - as long as it's not rain, that's okay. :) A trip to the Yukon & Alaska would def. be fascinating.
