Buying an RV<\/a> is a dream for millions around the country. With the keys to an RV in hand, you can travel the country, explore new terrain, and spend time in the Great Outdoors. However, finer details like finding reliable RV storage can be the roadblock detouring many from their dreams of RV ownership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike buying a car, garage storage isn’t always a give-in when buying an RV. When dealing with a recreational vehicle that measures 22 feet long and 7 feet wide, you’ll need to choose your RV storage option wisely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what types of RVs<\/a> (and models of RVs) can fit comfortably in a standard garage bay? Read on for more insights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Points<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
Small teardrop trailers, pop-up campers, and travel trailers <\/strong>are all types of RVs known to fit in a standard garage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
It’s important to consider your garage’s size, dimensions, and clearance when choosing a camper that can fit inside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Types of RVs That Can Fit in a Standard One-Car Garage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The prospect of fitting an RV in a standard garage might seem like a tall order, but several types of RVs fit the bill. Teardrop trailers, pop-up campers, and small travel trailers<\/strong> are compact enough to fit in a standard one-door garage measuring 8′ tall, 22′ deep, and 12′ wide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As long as your camper of choice is smaller than these dimensions, you can safely keep it in your garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Type #1: Teardrop Trailers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Teardrop trailers are the quintessential compact camper, with their small, lightweight, and aerodynamic design. With average dimensions of 10′ long, 5′ tall, and 6′ wide, teardrop trailers can easily fit in a garage, and their low profile makes them easy to tow with most vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an alternative to a tent camper, popular teardrop models such as the Little Guys Shadow<\/a>, Escapod TOPO2 Teardrop Travel Trailer<\/a>, and MeerKat<\/a> trailer provide a variety of features, including a tiny kitchen, wet bath, full bed, and built-in interior storage space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With their charming retro look and modern amenities, teardrop trailers offer the perfect balance between style and function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
Aerodynamic design <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Eco-friendly <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Lightweight and maneuverable <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
Low ceilings <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Type #2: Pop-up Campers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Ranging in length from 12′ to 18′ <\/strong>and width from 6′ to 7′<\/strong>, popup campers feature a unique collapsible design. This makes them an excellent option for garage storage because they’re typically less than 5′ tall when fully collapsed. When fully raised, however, pop-up campers are tall enough to comfortably stand and walk around in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brands like Rockwood Hard-Sided Pop-Up Campers<\/a> and Aliner A-Frame Campers<\/a> showcase impressive features such as indoor\/outdoor stovetops, furnaces, fridges, and optional air conditioners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to their ability to transform from compact storage mode to roomy living quarters, pop-up campers are a fantastic choice for those seeking a versatile and space-saving RV solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
Easier to tow <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Spacious after they’re set up<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Lightweight and maneuverable <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
Take time to set up<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Aren’t always entirely hard-shelled<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Type #3: Small Travel Trailers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For those who desire more amenities, such as mini-kitchens, half-baths, and air conditioning, small travel trailers may be the answer. While still compact enough to fit in a standard garage, small travel trailers often have more living and storage space than other small RVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
MeerKat Travel Trailer <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Scamp 13 <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Geo Pro 15 TB <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Jayco Hummingbird 10RK <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Taxa Outdoors Tigermoth <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Coachman Clipper Express <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Each of these trailers come in various layouts and configurations, allowing you to tailor your RV experience to your specific needs and preferences. In general, however, they can be anywhere from 5′ to 7′ wide, 4′ to 7′ tall, and 10′ to 20′ long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
No set-up required <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Feature more amenities than other small RVs <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
Tend to be heavier<\/li>\n\n\n\n
You’ll need a larger towing vehicle <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
