RV Garage Advice

I'm looking to build a garage to park my 27' TT and pickup. First question I have for anyone who went through this process is does any one have any ballpark costs for a project like this? I would like to compare the price of siding vs brick also. I will likely be looking at a 14' door and a 8' door. I would like to find ones that match and look more residential. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  • I got a estimate for a 2x6 stud, 20x40 with 14x12 foot door, man door and four windows. Stucco exterior, unfinished inside no electrical (I was going to do it myself) for $31,000 including the slab. I did not want to spend that much so I had the slab poured with footings should I ever decide to build a stick and mortar shop on it.

    My guess for a shop like your describing around 30x40,x14 with two doors, finished inside and out with electrical would be in the $50,000 to $75,000 range..

    You might not be able to go this route, I went with a metal RV port. 20x41 sides are 9' center is 12'. No real snow load here but had to have permit and engineering specs to show wind rating over 110mph which I got from the installer for free.. Total cost including RV Port, installation, slab and some sidewalks was $11,000

    You can enclose it, make it taller, shorter, bigger, roll up doors. Just depends on how much you want to spend..


  • If you build it big enough for a large 5er or class A then it'll be large enough for any future rigs. Also, I suggest you make it high enough so you can do any repairs on the roof without moving it outdoors. And, lastly, think about vents so a generator or class A engine can be running while indoors. Adding dump and electrical will make us all jealous! Post pics.
  • Dimensions? Block or frame? Electric? Plumbing? Concrete floor? Roof type? Pitch of roof? If block make your door opening 14'8 minimum both doors. Standard block height and won't be a problem with any RV. I built mine, by my self (Block and frame) 24 x 42 with 15'4 ceilings in 2006. Electric and plumbing. Bare bones. Painted floors and exterior. Again in 2006 for $15,000. I would guess if contracted now it would be in the area of $45,000 apples for apples
