For example if the long side of your RV faces west and you intend on spending recreational time on that side you may enjoy adding a 3 foot panel at the top of the side legs to escape the extra sun rays that will continual come in from that angle. Also, a gable on the end will reinforce the RV Cover, and stabilize it when strong winds occur. We install and horizontal tube from one end of the side leg to the other when building a gable, and we also install vertical framing. Gables also enhance the look, and protect from the elements.

Most RV’s will not need to reach such heights, but 12 foot sides are common, and we build up to 14 foot tall legs frequently.
RV Carports
There are quite a few different options as far as covers go. One of the first things that you need to remember is that it is important that the motor home cover fits. You will need to measure the RV to make sure that you get a cover that fits properly. You do want it to be a snug fit in order to make sure insects and other pests stay out of the RV. The fabrics that are used to make these covers are waterproof and UV repellant. You should make sure that the cover that you choose is breathable, which will make sure that mildew does not get trapped underneath the cover. The more expensive and custom covers can be worth the extra money, as they were made to fit your individual RV. There are different brands and fabrics to deal with here, but through research and speaking to a professional, you will end up getting exactly what you need to protect your RV.
RV Garages
An RV shelter can go by many names such as a metal RV carport, fifth wheel carport, and recreational vehicle metal garage. There are some subtle differences with each of the RV metal covers, so it is important to really consider these options so that you can know which one is the right choice for you. One typical choice is the 12′ wide x 41′ long x 12′ leg height regular style RV carport. There also different style choices like a vertical style roof RV carport, as well as a boxed eve carport. You can have these professionally installed but there are metal RV carport kits that you can install yourself. Before undertaking a task like this, you should make sure that you have all of the tools that you need as well as the ability to safely do this project with help.
There are a few things to consider before choosing your carport. One is what type of material that you will be choosing; a 12- or 14-gauge. You also need to think about the weather in the area that you live in. If you live in an area that is prone to sideways snow or rain, you will want an option that is closed in. If you do not have this type of water, you may be fine to have a carport that is not closed in. You also need to look into the local laws about any limitations on the size of a carport or laws about the type of materials that are required for your carport or any certifications that you need to get.
You spent a lot of money on your RV so you want to make sure that it lasts for as long as possible. This can be an easy enough task if you get the right carport or cover.
