we built a new barn and one corner of it is reserved for the camper.
Wow!! what a refreshing change. We didn't have to worry about height clearance and we had 12ft of door width and 14ft of height. And the big thing was that we had a nice level slab to set it on and it's the 1st time we have ever unloaded a camper on a slab and wow what a difference. Far less stress :B
It still has to share the slab but it gets to claim a full half of the slab for itself.

Thanks! Grit dog and Scott16 !!
That's great that just airing down the airbags got you inside your shop.
Our hay barn that the camper was parked in had 12ft walls and the door height was just over 11 ft our camper is 10'8" at the air conditioner.
We thought that was close.
The gravel floor wasn't level and it was always changing because of the tractor shoving it around during tight turns moving hay in and out. We had to make sure we parked it with the air conditioner away from any rafters so it wouldn't hit when we jacked it up off the truck. We won't miss that.
It is really nice that it has it's own space and I can do maintenance or modes on a nice level concrete floor under cover and with adequate lighting and power outlets,including a 30ampp RV outlet.
The electric hasn't happened yet but it will!!!

Nice barn!
It's awesome to be able to keep everything out of the Weather.
I measured my camper around 12'-3"Tall on the truck and figured I'd not be able to get it in my 12' shop door.
Let all the air out of the airbags on the truck and it fits by about an inch! Didn't even have to air down the truck tires to get it inside. Pretty stoked about that!

What you need now is an old wagon running gear to build into a camper dolly, so that you don't have to load the camper to get at the discbine.
Good idea. But not necessary because there are 3 12ft wide doors off of that slab.
The walk in door is at the camper side and there is another 12ft door on the side you can't see and it is right behind the discbine.
Once we finish with the gravel on the outside so that the truck is level going in we will set the camper closer to the door which will leave the center open for access to the center door and maneuvering space.
