What about those houses with RV Garages
We have just about completed our 3 year journey to camp and visit in all of the lower 48 states. As we traveled we often took a look at those southern communties in Arizona, Texas, Alabama and Florida...

Here in Idaho, the Boise area, there are a lot of subdivisions with these types of homes. Good friends had a new home built in an upper end subdivision, with a three car garage and 40' RV garage and they aren't the only ones. RV's are popular here. They moved from Palm Springs first to Carson City, NV hoping to build like that and couldn't at an affordable price so they came back home to Idaho and built within their price range.
Yeah I was just going to comment to the contractor above...there are definitely a lot of spec homes on southwest Idaho with RV garages. They're very popular right now.
Personally...I get the practical positives of them, but I just don't like the aesthetic at all. We have an older home with a little property so we have plenty of room to park our fifth wheel out back. It isn't weather protected like it would be in a garage but I much prefer the way our home looks. We do have a large shop with a 12' door that our fifth wheel won't fit in currently, but we may swap in a 14' door at some point to accommodate it.
We live in an older subdivision, but two homeowners built RV garages. One built a pole barn and enclosed it. It looks very nice and is trimmed and painted to match his house. I'd like to do that. We park our FW beside our house and have more than enough room to do this on our corner lot.
