Yeah, those things matter.  Can always keep looking at your leisure then.

I saw some prices like that around here, but they were for units big 
enough to put a Class A in there.

My brother in FLA found a nice little place, with a pool too, that had a 
drive along the side of the yard into the back where he parks his class 
A.  Only had a single car garage, but he saves a bunch keeping it right 
at his house.

I am still rolling around the thought of building a garage for mine, but 
I doubt I'll ever pull the plug.  Instead of letting it winter out in 
the snow and cold, I prefer just to take it out to Arizona and ride it 
out in the desert.  Doubt the wife would like that, so I might have to 
fly her in and out for visits.  I remember the feeling of waking up when 
I lived in Tucson and being warm and looking out into the Catalina 
mountains.  Shoulda stayed out there instead of coming back to Illinois.
