I am originally from up North and I was shocked to see how cheap you can get a full metal building down here. I know you are in tampa but Ocala has one of the biggest metal building companies. I think they even service down south too. Give them a call at least for the quote.
I think you will find the metal building to be less expensive. AND you won't have so many code hoops to jump thru like you will if you start using block.
Check it out first 'before' you go block. You will end up with ALL the inspectors there and most likely needing an COO. Don't check with the county though that just gives them a heads up what you might do and they will be watching you like a hawk because it involves an RV. Find a friend or neighbor that might know the codes.
I just found out they are even starting to charge a permit fee AND reguire inspection just to put up one of those portable car ports. :R
Good Luck sounds like you found a nice place for the RV!
