Looks great, awesome build. I would have plumbed it for both water and sewer. Just run the pipe under the slab prior to the pour. If you ever decided you want it in the future it would have been there. Would have only set you back about $250. You came also put in a diy septic system for under $500 . Plenty of UA-cam videos on that. Very cool, congrats
We agree with @LuvSubbin, the pole barn is great and receives the Airstreamer seal of approval. We really enjoyed meeting with you a couple weeks ago. Take care and hope to meet up with you guys on the road.
Hi Randy In the Pole Barn build video series I had mentioned the permits needed. Perhaps that is why no questions were asked on that topic? Either way, we did receive a permit and the inspector came out 3 times during the build to verify we were meeting code. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching
Your pole barn is really nice!! We purchased a new to us 2005 28' Classic last year and had a RV garage 18 X 36 X 14' placed on our property for it as well. We couldn't afford something that pricey and went with a metal/steal garage and dirt/crushed rock floor. Our garage is closed in on the sides and open front and back. Our house is within 15' of the RV garage, so I just run an above ground electrical line for keeping the AS batteries charged between the two. I cleared the property and leveled the ground myself for the RV garage with my tractor to save on money and had packing dirt/rock brought in and leveled that myself too. I'm retired, so I had the time. It's not perfect by any stretch, but it looks decent and keeps our AS safe from the weather here in Oregon and allows me to work on it as needed with a little protection overhead. The total cost was approximately $8,500. Happy trials.
Cliff…thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like you have a great setup on your property. I do wish I could have done more of the work myself and saved so money. However we either didn’t have the equipment or experience needed to do the task at hand. That said, some problems are best solved hiring a professional. Happy camping and safe travels.
So happy to hear the video series was helpful. We learned a lot and wanted to share our experience with others who are interested in building a RV pole barn.
Retired at 40 years old ? Must be nice 😒 😂😂😂😂😂 A great video. Everything looks so nice. Enjoy every minute of your wonderful life. May GOD bless and protect you always 🙏
My current rig (2024 Jayco travel trailer) is sitting on the side of my house behind a gate, just enough space to store while not being used. Currently use a trailer cover to protect it from the elements and am thinking of getting a sail type of shade cover for it. But yeah totally would do this if I had such large space for a rig. Love the content!
Thanks for the comment. Based on the many comments and questions we have received, it is clear that every situation and needs are different. No right or wrong answer, just what works for your situation. Thanks for watching and safe travels.
Great question. There were several factors that we took into consideration on the placement of the sub panel and the 30 amp receptacle. First it was closer to the main panel so we didn’t have to trench as far and buy more wire. Second if we placed the 30 amp outlet on the opposite side of the pole barn the RV power cord would have to stretch to the Airstream which would have prevented us from parking our truck on that side of the pole barn. Finally our Airstream has a 30 amp plug at the front of the Airstream so it works out great. Hope this helps answer your question.
Regarding cutting the trees down yourself; you may or may not have that skillset, but my approach is to hire someone who has the right equipment, skills, insurance, etc. to handle a job like that. It makes little sense for me (and borders on the foolish and dangerous) to attempt something like that and risk property or equipment damage or risk injury or even death if something goes wrong. The smart man (or woman) knows when to hire an expert. I think you made the wise decision.
Nicely Done and what you can afford and what you can't afford is nobody's business.

No question on Building permit required? RC in Havelock, NC

LOOKS GOOD!! It was informative following y'all while building your pole barn.

Rick,
I use mothballs to keep the birds from nesting.
So far no problems with birds but will keep the mothball tip in mind. However, how do you place the mothballs?
Great and informative video! Thanks for sharing. See ya down the road.
Retired at 40 years old ?
Must be nice 😒
😂😂😂😂😂
A great video.
Everything looks so nice. Enjoy every minute of your wonderful life. May GOD bless and protect you always 🙏

Thanks for the video. So much helpful information. Really appreciate your insights and explanation of your reasoning of the choices you made.
Thank you for watching and the kind words. Hopefully we answered all the big questions for everyone.
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks for watching. Happy camping and safe travels.
Why did you put the electrical on the side that you did, given how you park your Airstream in the barn?
Great question. There were several factors that we took into consideration on the placement of the sub panel and the 30 amp receptacle.

💯agree. Besides I thought $375 per tree removal was a great price. Happy camping and safe travels!
Should have had the rebar no matter what
We decided to go with fiber reinforced concrete. We’ve been happy with the results.
