For many homeowners, condo residents, and those living in apartment , the dream of owning a campervan often hits one frustrating wall—parking restrictions. Between HOA rules, limited outdoor parking, and city ordinances, storing an RV can be nearly impossible. The solution? Choosing a Class B campervan that fits inside a standard residential garage.

Among today’s options, the Mini-T Campervan by DLM-Distribution stands out as a unique, fully functional Class B motorhome that fits perfectly in a typical home garage—making it ideal for those who want the freedom of RV travel without the storage struggle.


Understanding Standard Garage Dimensions

In most homes and multi-unit residences across the U.S., the average single-car garage measures:

Height: about 7 feet

Width: 8 – 9 feet

Length: 18 – 20 feet

For a campervan to fit easily, staying under 7 feet in height is critical. Many full-size motorhomes and High Roof Class B Camper Vans exceed this limit, requiring off-site storage or specialized buildings—adding cost and inconvenience.


The Mini-T Campervan: Designed for Everyday Parking and Travel

The Mini-T Campervan, manufactured by DLM-Distribution in Lake Crystal, Minnesota, is engineered specifically to meet residential garage requirements:

Height: Under 7 feet – fits most garages and city parking ramps

Length: Around 16 feet – shorter than many SUVs

Width: Compact enough for standard garage doors

Despite its small footprint, the Mini-T Campervan is packed with features you’d expect in a full-size RV. Inside you’ll find a pull-out bed for two, refrigerator, microwave oven, sink, and a solar-supported power system that lets you camp off-grid or plug into shore power when available.

DLM-Distribution builds each Mini-T Campervan with quality craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail, providing a comprehensive warranty and the confidence that comes from purchasing factory-direct from a licensed manufacturer.


How the Mini-T Campervan Compares to Other Garage-Friendly Options

Pop-Up Campers

Pop-ups fold down for easy garage storage and are light to tow. However, they require setup and teardown at every stop. They lack integrated power systems and cannot serve as a daily vehicle.

Mini-T Advantage: No towing, no setup—just drive and camp.

Teardrop Trailers

Small, lightweight, and easy to tow, teardrops fit easily in garages but offer limited space and no standing room.
Mini-T Advantage: Self-contained with full electrical systems and interior space for lounging, sleeping, and cooking.

Compact Class B RVs

Most Class B motorhomes exceed standard garage height, often 8 feet + tall, requiring special storage and costing more in both purchase and fuel.


Mini-T Advantage: True Class B functionality in a vehicle that fits at home and delivers 17–28 MPG.


Perfect for HOA and Apartment Living

Many HOAs prohibit RVs or campervans from being parked in driveways or streets. The Mini-T avoids these problems entirely—it’s not registered as an RV and can be parked in your garage like a regular car.

That makes it the go-to choice for condo owners, apartment residents with garages, and homeowners in regulated communities. It’s also ideal for travelers who rely on city parking garages during urban trips.


Everyday Car Meets Class B Camper

The Mini-T Campervan isn’t just for camping—it’s an everyday driver. With its compact size, backup camera, and safety features, you can use it for commuting, errands, or weekend road trips. When adventure calls, it transforms into a fully equipped camper at a moment’s notice.

You’ll enjoy the comfort of a true motorhome while avoiding hotel stays, airline hassles, and storage costs. Whether exploring Minnesota’s state parks, Florida’s coastlines, or mountain passes out west, the Mini-T gives you the freedom to go anywhere—and still park at home.


Why the Mini-T Campervan Is the Best Garage-Friendly RV Solution

Fits a Standard Garage: No off-site storage or HOA violations

Fully Camp-Ready: Bed, refrigerator, microwave, solar power, and inverter system

Fuel Efficient: 17–28 MPG depending on model

Nationwide Sales and Delivery: Factory-direct from DLM-Distribution in Lake Crystal, Minnesota
