Zinn Construction designed and built a versatile garage addition in Fort Mohave that adds serious usable space and everyday convenience. The new footprint totals 1,486 square feet and includes an 8-foot tall double car bay for daily drivers plus a 16-foot tall pull-through RV bay that makes loading and parking large rigs simple. This layout gives the homeowners the flexibility to store an RV, tow vehicle, desert toys, and tools while keeping the driveway clear.
Project Overview
This addition expands the property with two distinct spaces that work together. The double car bay provides easy in and out for daily vehicles. The RV bay is taller and deeper with a pull-through configuration, ideal for motorhomes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels. The through access reduces backing maneuvers and can be planned to line up with side yard gates or an alley, making it quick to stage weekend trips and desert runs.
Design Goals We Focus On
Function First
Separate bays for different vehicles minimize juggling and let each space do its job well.Clearances That Fit Real Life
The 16-foot tall RV bay supports the height and length large rigs demand, while the 8-foot tall double car bay handles everyday needs with room to spare.Flow and Access
Pull-through design lowers the stress of tight turns, protects walls and mirrors, and speeds up departure and return.Future-Ready Thinking
The layout allows for upgrades such as storage systems, workbenches, power for tools, and plumbing for RV hookups without crowding the bays.

FAQs
What is the benefit of a pull-through RV bay?
It reduces complex backing, protects the RV exterior, and speeds up loading and departure.
How tall should an RV bay be for most rigs?
Sixteen feet is a strong target for many motorhomes and fifth wheels, but measure your tallest point including rooftop accessories before finalizing plans.
Will this addition match my existing home?
Yes. Garage additions can be designed to follow your roofline, stucco, and trim so the project looks original to the property.
Can I add power for my RV?
Yes. Many owners plan for a dedicated RV circuit and convenient outlets for tools. It’s best to decide this during planning.
Can I add full RV hookups inside my garage?
Absolutely. We can install plumbing and power connections so your RV has water, electricity, and a dump station while stored indoors — making it usable while docked and better protected from harsh UV exposure.
Does a garage addition help resale?
Absolutely. Well-planned space that solves parking and storage challenges is highly attractive to buyers in Fort Mohave and greater Mohave County. Cities such as Lake Havasu and Kingman have seen a huge increase in RV Garage Additions in the recent years.
