We saw an RPod in Georgia last year that was modified to fit into a garage. The guy put the TV antenna back by the spare tire and then he put in an air conditioner in the side. He had to let the air out a little in his tires, but he got it to fit into the garage. His association did not allow RVs to be parked in driveways. I have no idea what he did with the holes in the roof!

My way is to will Marwayne down here for the Mod!!!!

I have already been looking into it.  The only issue of course is money.  Money of course will solve the way and will get it done.  Now...need to save up some $$$.

Where there is a will there is a way.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

If you have the vertical space, its just a matter of moving the header up and putting in a longer door.  I know - not cheap and not as easy as that, but not impossible if you have the room to go up.

This house has 1850 sq.ft. of garage space...a total of 5.5 garages.  Bigger than my previous home.  NOT ONE of them tall enough to store the Pod.  One was a custom work room, two car door, it is 24x38.  Only a 10ft. Door.  So close, so sad.  Perhaps I can upgrade someday.  Hoping one will fit my pontoon barge...that will save some storage $$$.  I was really hoping.  Oh well, man cave will be sweet once I'm done.

Lil sweet pea pod, I know, Donna and I saw a house about 6 months ago that was perfect. It was basically pole barn construction with metal siding and standing seam metal roof. the interior of the house was conventional frame and dry wall, modern interior, but the back had dual 12 foot drive through doors with concrete floors, lighting, water. Perfect house, man cave, r.v. drive through . Looking good. Huuumm how much will that cost ????

I now lust after homes with garage doors tall enough to house the Pod. Will fiancé place garage door height over closet & kitchen space?  Hmmmmm......

Yeah...found a good deal on a nice custom house.  Rented my old one, hopefully long-term it will pay off.
