Even if the ladder was not on the coach and the mirrors were tucked in I still would have been about a foot to long for the unit.
Either Winnebago or the storage facility's specs are off. I suspect the latter as the width did not seem to be 15 feet to me.
Has anyone run into this? What would be the recommended storage length? I was lucky to find space nearby at a small airport that had an unused hanger.
Thanks.

I'm betting the advertised length of the storage unit is wrong or misinterpreted. Our 2013 Adventurer is the exact measurements quoted in the brochure. Keep in mind however the length and height are measured to the tallest or widest "Standard Feature" on the coach. If you have added a an "optional" satellite dish or if the ladder was an "optional' item yours could be taller or longer than the published information. The width is regulated by federal law. Anything over 8'6" requires a special permit and/or license to travel on federal highways. The widest Winnebago products are 8' 5.5" to comply with the law.
Also the interior width of the storage unit is measured wall to wall. The door is usually narrower than the inside of the unit. In addition some units have exposed support columns inside. As I said earlier the standard interior measurement is from wall to wall. You could have as much as a foot of interior space side to side that's not usable.
The interior length is also measured wall to wall. The inside of the overhead door is likely not flush with the interior surface of the front wall. There are also likely support columns inside the rear wall that shorten the usable length.
Our first storage unit was 16' wide. However the door was only 10' wide. We had only 1/4" clearance on each side with the mirrors folded in. There was no room for error when passing through the door. Our current storage unit is advertised as 14' wide. However the interior support beams have only 13' 4" between them
