I have a 27’ TT and have been exploring building an RV garage. However because of the layout of my property it’s a big project and the cost is astronomical, several times the value of the TT and it doesn’t really fit right.
I can build a cover off the side of my garage and it will look better and involve way less concrete, landscaping, etc. However the angle of the driveway means there is no way I could park the TT using my truck. I would have to be able to manually maneuver it using a powered dolly, like this:

Comments, thoughts? I really can’t justify a high five figure garage to house a $30k trailer. Other ideas?
I have the Trailer Valet XL manual powered with cordless drill attachment. It was just over $600 and works well, even on my 5% grade driveway. Needed it due to 2” of clearance on each side of my RV gate next to my house. Also trimmed the roof eaves for room. It is only used at home.
Anyway I mounted a switch to the handle wired to the trailer brakes & use that since the Valet brake is awkward to use on a slope. Also I operate it sitting on my shop creeper stool so no bending over-a common complaint about these.
For my needs It’s paid for itself already, very happy. Only complaints are the weight of it & not able to disengage the drive mechanism while rolling it to the trailer.
