I am building a house and can not decide which size lot of 2. Need room to park rv next to house.PLEASE HELP?

We will be building a new house with a attached garage. It will be 40' feet wide and 48' feet 8"inches long and I love it but I have to decide today which lot I want to put it on. We have a 33' foot trailer but will be selling soon and getting a smaller one and we want to have enough room to park it next to house. It will have to go behind front of house but still directly beside house. One of the reasons I wanted a house was so kids could go outside in backyard and play so I want a swingset, small garden, and a deck in the back. We live in Montana and get plenty of snow and ice so if the house faces south the snow on the sidewalk would melt faster. The first lot is 70'feet wide by 90'feet long it faces South. The second lot is 62' feet wide and 120'feet long and faces East. The building envelope is ten feet in, what that means is that you can put your house anywhere inside including off to one side or set forward but you have to have at least 10'feet of room on each side. I do not know if the long lot would have enough room on the side for travel trailer or if the shrter lot would have enough room for a nice backyard. We need enough room in front for driveway. Please offer advice and opinions!!!!! Thank-you

    Standard Size for Travel Trailers is 8 ft. wide with the slide out in, or 11 ft. wide with slide outs extended. You will need this much space on one side of the house to park the TT next to house.

    House is 40 ft. wide, Lot one is 70 ft. wide That leaves 30 ft. divided by 2 (eachside of house), or 15 ft. of space between side of house and property line. You only need 8 ft. or 11 ft. so Lot one will work.

    Lot two is 62 ft. wide. That leaves 22 ft. divided by two, or 11 ft. one each side of the house. This lot will work also, but you may have to park the TT with the slide outs in, so you have room to walk past it.

    Sounds like you have a beautiful house on the way. Good Luck with it and I know you will enjoy it.
