We store Pepper (our popup camper) in our garage. The benefits are:
If we decide to go on a trip we don't have to drive to where it's stored and bring it back to the house to load it up.
Save $$$ on storage costs.
Better protected from rain and hail than out in the open.

How do you get the PU so close to the wall?  :)

Hmmm...

I have a question...how are the bottoms of the studs secured to the floor?  With no triangulation, it looks like one could just kick the 2x4 along the floor and the whole thing would come down.

Had I done this, I would have first nailed the sill plate (terminology may be incorrect...the 2x4 that's flat on the floor) to the concrete, then nailed the studs on top of that.  But I'm sure there are other ways to do it.

Otherwise, looks like a really cool idea.

An idea for improvement would be to mark off a "do not stack above" line on the wall so that you won't accidentally stack too much in the front and run interference with the garage door.
