Bye, bye storage facility!
We are so excited, our camper ( and us) will have a new home. After years of looking and dreaming, we finally decided to go big or go home. We just bought (closed last night) on 3.5 acres of land only...

35 by 60 is a nice size for an RV shop, that is the size of my smaller building that I keep the bus in. Construction will depend a lot on where you are, you either want something that tends to keep warm or cool depending on if you get a lot of really cold days or really hot days. Uninsulated metal buildings tend to be the worst of both worlds... Metal building with a well vented attic and an insulated ceiling and walls with a thick poured concrete floor can be amazing. Brian

Metal buildings are definitely a learning curve. After building 2 I finally got it right with the third one, kinda.
I went with the insulated ceiling with a ridge vent. THAT takes care of all the problems that can happen with weather changes just about anywhere.
Concrete floor
2 doors front and back
The one mistake or should I say contractors mistake is I had them measure and re-measure the height of the MH including the AC to make sure the door was tall enough. I was on the road during construction and when I returned and went to pull the MH in my new building it did NOT fit.
The incline of the concrete to the entrance to accommodate how the building was set prohibited my MH from fitting under the door. If it had been level it would have made it in.
Sooo, check that out before you build! :W
