RV garage design

[Fatboy2004]

If you were designing a new house with an RV garage for your class A. What size would you go ? Just big enough for it to park in, or big enough to open all the slides. The plan we are looking at has it as 68 feet long, 14 high and 10 foot wide. And yes money is an issue.
Looking for your input on this.
Thanks

I'd made it big enough that at least one slide could be opened and you could get all the way around it to do work.

And picture of yours would be great.

10ft wide is not enough. Mine is 16 x 20 x 45 and I wish it was 16 x 25 x 65

Your garage door must be 10ft wide, and that leaves 1 ft either side to pull in. My door is 14Hx12w and is perfect size.

Breaking ground in the the spring if all the stars line up. It will be 59 foot deep instead of 49 foot. A few changes in the house part also, by my wife.

Following - we have been considering building something along these lines and love to learn from others.

I would love to see the inside of others out there.
(pictures please)

If I was doing it I would want 4 -6 feet of extra space all the way around the RV when everything is fully extended so you can easily navigate to anywhere you wish.
For example 102" MH + 30" slide + 30" slide = 162"/12=13.5' With this you'd have a foot on each side.

Question: How do you manage the RV waste water tank vent fumes(?) when the RV is in an enclosed space? Granted you can empty and flush tanks before storage, is that enough?

I open garage doors when dumping, and then add 5 gallons of fresh water. Never had an odor issue.

Trust me it will be dumped and flush real well before it gets backed in.

Interested to see more responses on this. We are considering building an RV garage and my preliminary thoughts were that IF we wanted to use the coach while in the garage, we could attach a flexible hose to the RV vent and then attach the other end to a vent we would have installed in the garage roof.

For me an ideal garage would have full hookups inside.

I built a standalone building when I had my previous 38ft motorhome and now I have a 44ft. The building was 60ft deep x 50ft wide with two 14ft high x 12ft wide doors and one passage door. At the time I thought it was way overkill but if I had it to do over it would be 70ft deep x 60ft wide. I had 100amp service to the building with water and sewer hookups. Just remember, you can never build it too big but you can easily build it too small.
