Just a thought when you are doing your planning.

Our Amarillo is like yours but they put the access in a location that leads up into a apace in the front of the garage (over laundry room etc.). limiting the amount I can store and wasting the space under the gable end. I solved the problem by cutting another access to make that space available. I did not install pull down stairs as this makes access too narrow for my purposes. I access it via step ladder. Large plastic storage boxes slide right thru' it.

Heavy stuff goes up the original and light stuff goes over the gable end.
