RV Garages are a popular trend in new homes, but is an RV garage worth it? For anyone who loves adventure, travel, and the freedom of the open road, few things compare to owning an RV. But once the trip is over, one question always comes up: Where do you park it?
Homeowners across Arizona are discovering that an attached RV garage isn’t just a luxury — it’s one of the smartest home features you can invest in. From everyday convenience to long-term property value, here’s why an RV garage is absolutely worth it.
🚐 1. Protects Your RV from the Elements
Arizona’s sun is beautiful — but also intense. Constant exposure to UV rays, dust, and monsoon rains can cause premature wear to your RV’s paint, roof seals, and tires. Arizona’s summer monsoon storms can bring heavy dust or even hail and enclosing your RV in a garage will protect your RV from those nasty storms. An enclosed RV garage shields your investment from weather damage year-round, helping maintain its appearance and condition for years to come. Additionally, you can repair, clean, or stock up your RV while keeping out of the weather yourself!
🔒 2. Adds Security and Peace of Mind
Storing your RV at home means you always know it’s safe. An attached garage provides an added layer of security against vandalism, theft, or accidental damage — something outdoor storage lots simply can’t match. Many homeowners appreciate the peace of mind that comes with keeping their RV under the same roof as their home. If you have a security system, monitoring cameras, or similar, that will boost your confidence in home security even further.
💵 3. Saves Money on Off-Site Storage
Average RV storage in Arizona can cost upwards of $300 per month, depending on size and amenities. That’s $3,600 per year — or tens of thousands of dollars over time. By storing your RV at home, you eliminate ongoing rental costs while adding permanent functionality to your property.
🧰 4. Provides Convenient Access for Maintenance
Routine care is easier when your RV is steps away. Whether you’re flushing tanks, checking batteries, or doing light repairs, an at-home RV garage offers a shaded, powered space to work comfortably — no appointment or drive across town required.
🏠 5. Expands Your Home’s Useable Space
An RV garage can be more than just storage. Homeowners often use the extra height and depth for:
-
Oversized pickup trucks or work trucks
-
Boat storage (especially helpful for those tall ski and wakeboarding towers!)
-
Recreational vehicles like 4-wheelers and motorcycles
-
Car lifts and car collections
-
Workshop or hobby space
-
Home gym or art studio
- Man-cave or she-shed space
It’s a flexible extension of your home — one that adapts as your lifestyle changes.
📈 6. Increases Home Value and Market Appeal
So, how much does an RV garage add to home value?
While it depends on location and design, most real estate professionals estimate that a well-integrated RV garage can boost resale value by $30,000–$50,000 or more — especially in markets like Arizona where RV ownership is high.
Buyers love homes that offer both practicality and lifestyle versatility, and an RV garage checks both boxes. Even if the next owner doesn’t have an RV, they’ll see endless potential in that extra space.
🌞 7. Perfect for Arizona Living
In communities across Peoria, Casa Grande, Goodyear, and beyond, RV garages are more than a convenience — they’re part of a lifestyle. Whether you’re gearing up for weekend road trips, cross-country adventures, or simply enjoying the flexibility of extra space, an attached RV garage brings freedom and functionality home.
