[A/S] Storage of RV, looking for ....



I have a problem that I hope the list members can help me solve.


What kind of storage structures do you Airstreamers have for your units when parked at your main residence?

I have been scouring the Internet for ideas, pictures and manufacturers of both wooden and steel buildings.  So far I have a nice collection of pictures and also a collection of ideas in mind at present of what I would like to have built for my hoped for purchase of a larger model Airstream trailer.

A nice building to me would consist of at least four bays that would be about 12 feet wide by at least 36 feet deep.  I would like to add a lean-to roof on each end of this building I have in mind.  The flooring would be a concrete pad over large built-up gravel so that the concrete would not wick up moisture from the ground.  I would like to have a hip style roof and compact rollup doors for each bay that would have a door height of at least 12 feet.  The reason for this is height is that I could also store my sailboat inside as well and I believe that an Airstream should easily clear the 12 foot limit.

The outside of the building I would like should be at least steel paneling with a pleasant design.  What I don't want is a building that looks like I have a factory on my property as I still want to be a good neighbor even though our properties are at least an acre apart.

Is it possible that any of the list members here can help me in my search for my perfect storage solution building?  I sure hope so!

Thanks for any input.
