When I bought my new motorhome back in 2015, I parked it in my apartment complex's double parking space. I was able to back it in and park my car in front of it. This was in Los Angeles where the climate was not harsh for it.

Then, I moved to New Mexico and bought a home on two acres at 7,000 feet above sea level. This, I knew ahead of time, would be subjecting my motorhome to harsh conditions. This includes hot summers, thinner air due to the elevation and snow/freezing conditions. After moving, I ordered a metal garage for the RV. It was built before the winter snows arrived.

I later added a gravel floor.

So far, it has protected my motorhome just fine, especially when I added a 30-amp outlet to run holding tank heaters.
