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
