As the wise voices above noted, those dimensions will leave you with living quarters that are very cozy to say the least assuming a 12' cab. Decreasing your garage length (and secondary vehicle size) OR increasing your coach length with the downsides also noted above results.
Here is one answer to your wishes with ample living space in a
floor plan from Powerhouse Coach that includes a hydraulic bedroom over the garage but this takes the coach length over 46' and upwards:
"New double slide garage motor coach wide body. The garage area can be varied from 14 to 18 feet giving an overall length from 46 feet to 52 feet. This floor plan can sleep 2 on the hide a bed sofa and 2 more with an optional make down dinette booth with a dedicated garage area and an optional full rear hydraulic bedroom drops down when needed"

What does a rig like that cost to build?
|
New? Probably a lot (could be over $300 K on a custom conversion).
However,
on EBay currently there is a homemade Volvo used conversion under $50K with a small downstairs garage and upstairs bedroom in the rear.
And
another EBay listing for a large double decker garage with modest living quarters for over $50K.

11.Is it possible to have a built in Gasoline tank to refuel the car or scooter?
|
Toy hauler type conversions can have an electric
auxiliary gas pump for toted vehicles.
So many questions but it is better to ask first and buy later than the reverse. . .
