I need to know how much clearance I need to drive thru. I am pricing out pole buildings and one of the things that is a must for me is that the tt gets parked inside. The tt is a 1997 coachmen 338fl. Supposed to be a 34'er. It has a slide out room so It does have a 6'10" cieling height. Thanks for any help. donn0128 • View posts Pronounced Ore-gun Senior Member Joined: 04/21/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/26/12 01:25pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator It can be anywhere from 10 to 14 feet. For safety sake I would use 14 feet as minimum.

You or the next owner might have a 5th wheel or a DP MH in the future and they are usually over 13'. I have a garage for my TT, but I originally built it for a MH. Garage door opening is 14'. After the MH, I bought a 5th wheel that was 13'4". Even with 8" clearance, it looked mighty close backing it in.

It won't be your last and good chance the next one will be taller.

And along with 14' high go 42' to 48' long you never know what you may want to park in there next. It's less cost & work to build it the right size the first time. benbovac • View posts Horse Country Kentucky Senior Member Joined: 03/13/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 01/26/12 03:05pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator i agree, i built my garage when i had a tt that was only 10'6" tall and 26 ft long, now my 5er is 13'5" and 40 ft long. I did a door that is 14 x 14 and the garage is 28 x 52....still have room for other toys also.

If you want to GUESS then find a similar model and measure it. Brochure numbers are never very accurate and some do and some do not (most) include airconditioner. If it's important measuring is required. 2011 F-150 HD Ecoboost 3.5 V6. 2550 payload, 17,100 GCVWR - 2004 F-150 HD (Traded after 80,000 towing miles) 2007 Rockwood 8314SS 34' travel trailer US Govt survey shows three out of four people make up 75% of the total population rem700 • View posts s/e mi New Member Joined: 08/01/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/26/12 07:50pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Thanks for the replies. I install doors for a living. I have had many customers that were disappointed when they found out their rv or boat etc would not fit in the new garage. I am planning 40x60. first 25' will be a shop and the rest will be for the boats, truck camper and tt. We can fill it up quick but have a good plan. The only thing I am not sure about is the height. I tried to call Coachmen at the # posted but got a voicemail. I will try again tommorow.
