Looking for a plan with extra room for storing your recreational vehicle? These eight designs should fit the bill. Each one includes an RV garage with living quarters – making them ideal as a stand-alone home or an ADU (accessory dwelling unit). Plus, they feature well-thought-out amenities like kitchen islands and outdoor areas.

This tiny garage apartment plan shows off modern style with clean lines and a metal shed roof. Everything has a place in the four-car garage, which includes room for an RV. On the second level, the open layout places the living room and the island kitchen at the front of the plan.
A vaulted ceiling makes the space feel larger than it is. Sliding glass doors open to a deck and offer indoor/outdoor connections. Located at the back of the plan, a bedroom enjoys privacy and features a generous closet.
