Not sure if this topic has been done before. Post a picture of your RV garage. I think it would be good for other folks to see what it takes to build an RV garage and maybe inspire them to build their own.
Anyway, this is a picture of my $1,000 RV garage when I grew tired of doing the RV cloth cover thing for years.
I built the frame with 1.5" fence pipe, I cut and welded the peak to the desired pitch. I used electrical conduit 45 degree bends to transition the side walls to the roof bows. I found a guy on Craigslist who sold the baked on enamel decorative sheet metal and picked up two coffee cans full of those self tapping screws with rubber sealing washers to bolt it all together. I also bolted it the concrete with some aluminum angle iron. I made each door to bolt shut and is hinged on one side using chain link gate hinges. It takes me less than 5 min to have my RV out of its secure garage and ready to drive off. Besides keeping my investment out of the sun and rain, nobody knows when were gone rving or when we're at home as the rv garage looks the same. I have since sold this RV and extended my garage out another 5' to accommodate my 2006 24D on the GM chassis. I love having my RV at home under wraps. What do ya think?

My subdivision doesn't allow the parking of RVs (not that there is any place to park it anyway) so we pay $90 a month for covered storage. Wish I lived in the country.
That's funny!! I hate my stuff sitting outside and the cloth RV cover thing became troublesome and really didn't keep it out of the weather. Will never own a home without a race shop and room for an RV garage.
