Within a year after I bought a home on two acres in New Mexico, I had an RV garage (dubbed the GOCO Beast Barn) built for my 2015 Winnebago Minnie Winnie 22R motorhome.

There are those who have the means to build a similar RV garage and others don't. What are their options?

Different storage methods come with their own pros and cons. Some are low-effort yet expensive. Others are cheap but require a lot of work! It all depends on how much you want to spend, how much effort you want to put in, and what type of security/protection you’re looking for.
