The RV-Garage Layouts People Ask For Most
These are the configurations that come up most on our RV-garage briefs.
An oversized, extra-tall bay attached to the home for the motorhome, alongside standard car bays — the most common request.
Doors front and back so you can pull the rig straight through without backing — a favorite for big Class A coaches and trailers.
A tall garage with a guest suite or bonus apartment above the bay, using the height you already have.
A covered RV port for quick access next to an enclosed garage and shop, for owners who do not need full enclosure.
A separate tall RV and toy barn on acreage, connected to the home by a drive, with hookups and a small shop.
A deep, tall, reinforced garage for an RV plus boats, side-by-sides and trailers, with wide doors and a workbench wall.

What Shapes an RV-Garage Plan Before You Draw It
These are the specifics that make an RV garage different from a big garage.
Your rig's height sets the door — often 14 to 16 feet — and its length sets the bay depth. Get these from your rig, and the whole garage is designed around them.
An RV garage usually needs 30 or 50 amp power, water, and a sewer or dump connection. Where those land shapes the bay and ties into the home's utilities.
A heavy motorhome needs a thicker, reinforced slab and floor drainage. That is engineered in, not assumed.
Big rigs need room to approach, turn and back. The driveway and apron are part of the design, especially on tighter lots.
Tall bays trap heat and fumes, so ventilation matters, and the height above the rig is often reclaimed as storage or a loft.
Some jurisdictions and HOAs limit garage height or RV storage. Drawing for your rules up front keeps the plan approvable.
Why an RV-Garage Home Has to Be Custom
A stock plan with an RV bay was drawn for some other rig and some other lot. If your motorhome is a foot taller or three feet longer, the door, the bay and the slab are all wrong — and adjusting a catalog plan for your dimensions and hookups is a redraw, not a tweak. Custom means the bay fits your rig the first time.
Send us your rig's dimensions, your hookups and your lot and our design team delivers a complete print-ready home-and-RV-garage plan set, typically in 7–11 business days with a free revision round included.

The tall bay adds height, a heavier slab and a big door, so an RV garage costs more than a standard garage but far less per square foot than finished living space. Knowing your real numbers before you design keeps the rig, the home and the budget aligned.
A state-adjusted, 14-category cost report prices your build by county, so you can see how bay size, height and finish change your cost per square foot.

Design My Plan →Frequently Asked Questions
How tall does an RV garage door need to be?
Most Class A and larger motorhomes need a door around 14 feet, and some need 16. The exact height comes from your rig plus clearance, and your designer sizes the door and bay to it so there is no guessing at framing time.
Can I get a house plan with an RV garage sized to my motorhome?
Yes — that is exactly what our Design Your Dream Home service does. Send us your rig's height and length and your hookups and a designer draws a complete custom home-and-RV-garage plan set from $899, with the door, bay, slab and connections sized to your rig, typically in 7 to 11 business days with a free revision round. You start with a $300 deposit and pay the balance only after you approve your floor plan.
How much does an RV garage add to a build?
The tall bay adds height, a bigger door and a heavier slab, so it costs more than a standard garage — but as unfinished space it is far cheaper per square foot than living area. A location-adjusted cost report prices your specific build so you can see the add clearly.
Do I need special hookups in an RV garage?
Usually yes — 30 or 50 amp power to keep the rig charged, water, and often a sewer or dump connection. Planning those into the drawings up front is far cheaper than adding them later, and your designer will place them to tie cleanly into the home.
