Homes with Enclosed RV Garages
An enclosed RV garage is different from an RV pad. These are oversized, enclosed bays built for a motorhome, fifth wheel, travel trailer, or boat. We filter the MLS for homes with the door height, bay depth, and electrical capacity to actually shelter your rig.
RV Garage vs. RV Parking
The difference matters. One protects your rig from sun, hail, and snow. The other keeps it on the property but exposed to the elements.
Enclosed RV Garage
An oversized enclosed bay, typically 14 to 16 feet tall and 40 to 50 feet deep, with a dedicated overhead door. Protects your RV or boat from Colorado hail, UV damage, and winter weather. May include 30/50 amp shore power, a floor drain, and direct access from the driveway.
RV Pad or Parking
A gravel or concrete pad on the property, sometimes with an electric hookup, but open to the sky. Less expensive to build and more common, but your rig is exposed to weather. See our RV parking homes page for that search.
Due Diligence on RV Garage Homes
Enclosed RV garages are a niche feature and listing descriptions do not always tell the full story. We verify the specifications that determine whether your rig actually fits.
- 1
Door Height and Width
Most Class A motorhomes need 12 to 14 feet of door clearance. Fifth wheels and travel trailers vary. We confirm the actual door dimensions, not just what the listing says, because standard residential doors are typically 7 feet.
- 2
Bay Depth and Turning Radius
Your rig needs room to back in without scraping. We check the driveway approach, gate width, turning radius, and whether the bay is deep enough for your specific length.
- 3
Electrical and Climate
Shore power (30 or 50 amp), a floor drain, and heating matter if you store your rig through winter. We verify what is already wired and whether the bay is insulated or heated.

HOA and Covenant Rules
Some HOAs allow an RV garage but restrict its use, appearance, or the type of vehicle stored. We pull the covenants before you make an offer to confirm your rig is allowed.
Where RV Garages Are Built
Enclosed RV garages are most common on larger-lot properties in unincorporated Jefferson County, parts of Roxborough, and foothills communities where lot sizes and zoning allow oversized accessory structures. Some custom builds in Ken Caryl Valley and properties along the South hogback include RV bays as part of the original construction. Newer metro district communities with strict HOAs rarely permit them.

If an enclosed RV garage is outside your budget or hard to find in your target area, an RV pad with a covered carport or a property with room to build may work. We can also check whether zoning allows adding an enclosed bay after closing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What door height does my RV need?
Most Class A motorhomes need 12 to 14 feet of door clearance. Fifth wheels and travel trailers vary, but typically need 10 to 12 feet. Standard residential garage doors are 7 feet, so an RV garage requires a custom door. We verify the actual door height from listing details and photos before scheduling a showing.
Can I build an enclosed RV garage on my property?
It depends on lot size, setbacks, zoning, and HOA covenants. Unincorporated county areas generally have more flexibility than strict metro district communities. We verify what is allowed on a specific property during the inspection period, before your earnest money goes hard.
Do RV garages come with shore power?
Some do, some do not. A 30 or 50 amp RV receptacle is a feature of custom-built RV garages, but many enclosed bays only have standard 110V outlets. If you need to run your rig's climate control or charge batteries through winter, we check whether shore power is already installed or would need to be added.
Will an RV garage add value to the home?
An enclosed RV garage is a niche feature that appeals to a specific subset of buyers. In areas with high RV ownership it can be a strong selling point. In communities where most buyers do not own RVs, the value may be closer to that of a large workshop or storage building. We provide comparables so you can see how similar properties have priced.
