Thank you for the measurement replies
I think it’s going to fit past the most narrow spot I have to get around😊👍

You could also make any potential purchase of your chosen unit be contingent on you being able to not only test drive, but to see if you can park it in your designated spot. If it doesn't fit, there will be no purchase.

Just take a plumb bob or some kind of weight and hold the line against the widest place have someone mark the spot on the ground. Do the same thing on other side, move the truck and measure between the two marks.

We are planning to build a metal garage for our Vegas 25.3. We determined the width, with the mirrors, is 112 inches.

My question is the height. The brochure says 11 feet 3 inches with the A/C. Can I trust that to be accurate? If yes, will a 12 foot x 12 foot garage door be large enough?

Since I'm always nervous about stuff like that: I'd go for12'6", or even 13'.

Is there anyway to rotate the mirrors in and gain a couple inches on either side? Someone else commented that there Is -
Thanks

12'x12' is the door frame opening (roughly) the door will vary especially at the top if the ceiling is low. I would plan for the NEXT RV and get a 13' high door with at least a 14' ceiling. Class A's are typically in the 12'-6" to 12'-9" range and you only want to build this once....

Just an observation, but to those that park this close to their residence that there is the opportunity for anyone to utilize the MH ladder as an access to the second story or roof of the building. Most alarm systems are for the ground floor only.

Good point!
In our case: my .45 works equally well on ALL floors...
