Your RV will fit a storage space when the space is longer, wider, and taller than your rig measured at its largest points, including the hitch, ladder, and roof equipment. This RV size guide from Combs Boat & RV Storage in Imperial, MO shows how to measure and what to expect by RV type.
How do you measure your RV the right way?
Spec sheets list the factory body, but storage depends on what is actually on your rig today. Measure length from the front of the hitch or bumper to the rear of the bumper, and include spare tires, ladders, bike racks, and cargo carriers. For width, measure the widest point with slide-outs retracted, and note that awnings and mirrors can add more. Height should be taken from the ground to the highest item on the roof, which is often an air conditioner, vent, or satellite dish.
Write each number down and round up. Space listings are approximate, so a rig that is a few inches shy of the stated size still needs a margin for safe parking.
What are typical sizes by RV type?
Sizes vary by brand and floor plan, so treat these as general ranges and use your own measurements as the final word. Class A motorhomes are the largest drivable rigs and commonly run from the high 20s to over 40 feet long. Class C motorhomes are usually shorter, often in the low 20s to low 30s, but their cab-over section adds height. Class B camper vans are the most compact and are typically under 25 feet.
Towables follow a similar pattern. Travel trailers range from small teardrops to rigs over 30 feet, and fifth wheels are often long and tall, commonly in the 30 to 40 foot range with a raised front section. Pop-up campers store at a modest size when folded, but measure them closed, and measure the tow vehicle too if it will be parked with the trailer.
Does covered parking change what fits?
It can. An uncovered space mainly ...
