RV storage - how much room is needed?
Hi all! I am in the process of building a shop on my property. The plan is to be able to park a travel trailer and/or coach in there. Total shop size is 32(w)x48(d) with a 14x14 door. My main ques...

Here's my two cents, which may not be worth the pennies:
Maneuvering a trailer will partly depend on the tow vehicle: how tightly it can turn, and how sharp an angle you can get between it and the trailer without crunching something. With a good tow vehicle you could easily maneuver most any trailer into position with that space (well, you could provided you have some experience/skill at backing a trailer). One rather extreme example of a great vehicle for this is a standard farm tractor, which can turn very sharply if needed thanks to wheel brakes, pivoting around either of the back wheels.
A class A coach probably could be maneuvered into that space without extreme difficulty, I suspect, though I don't speak from any sort of personal experience. A large class C would probably be tricky as they tend to have pretty terrible minimum turning circles (and I do speak from some experience there). More room would definitely make things easier. I'm assuming the width of the gravel portion is at lest somewhat to scale--that it's considerably wider than the 13' wide asphalt drive, even if not nearly as wide as the shop.
