RV Carports

Your RV is one of the priciest things you own, often $50,000 to $500,000, and right now it’s probably sitting outside taking a beating — sun fading the paint, hail denting the roof, UV cracking the seals and eating the rubber.

That exposure adds up fast. One bad hailstorm can run $5,000 to $15,000 in damage, repainting a sun-faded finish can cost $10,000 or more, and unprotected RVs can lose 15-20% of their resale value within five years.

We sell RV carports in galvanized steel, with vertical roof designs that channel water and debris away from your rig, plus free nationwide delivery and professional installation. Call us at (866) 941-4072 or schedule a free consultation to protect your RV before the next storm hits.

For most RV owners, you'll need a carport between 14'×30' and 18'×55', depending on your RV class and how much extra storage space you want. Getting the size right matters — too small and you won't have adequate clearance for safe maneuvering, too large and you're wasting money on space you'll never use.

Here's what we recommend based on RV type:

Class B and smaller Class C RVs (20-28 feet long): A 14'W × 30'L or 16'W × 35'L carport gives you solid coverage with room to spare. These compact motorhomes typically stand 9-11 feet tall, so a standard 12-foot leg height works well.

Mid-size Class C and smaller Class A RVs (28-35 feet long): Go with a 16'W × 40'L or 18'W × 45'L configuration. You get that 2-3 feet of clearance on all sides that makes parking so much less stressful — plus better weather protection overall. Don't forget to account for slide-outs, which can add 2-3 feet to your RV's width when extended.

Large Class A motorhomes (35-45 feet long): An 18'W × 50'L or 18'W × 55'L carport is your best bet. These luxury coaches often have multiple slide-outs and rooftop accessories like satellite dishes and air conditioning units that demand extra clearance.

Before you order, measure your RV's total length from front bumper to rear bumper — and include any rear-mounted accessories like bike racks or spare tire carriers. Measure width with all slide-outs extended, because that's your widest configuration. For height, go from the ground to the highest point, which is usually your air conditioning unit or satellite dish.

We always tell customers to add 2-3 feet of clearance on each side and at least 3-5 feet at the front and rear. This extra space makes parking dramatically easier, allows air circulation that prevents moisture buildup, and means your RV's doors and compartments can fully open while under the carport.

Metal RV carports typically range from $3,500 for basic 14'×30' models to $12,000+ for large 18'×55' vertical roof structures with customizations — and that includes free delivery and professional installation nationwide. Compare that to fabric covers you'll replace every 2-3 years, or storage facilities charging $100-$300 monthly. A metal carport is a one-time investment that pays for itself.

Our base pricing for the most popular configurations:

• 14'W × 30'L: Starting around $3,500-$4,500 (ideal for Class B and small Class C RVs)
• 16'W × 40'L: Starting around $5,500-$6,800 (perfect for mid-size Class C motorhomes)
• 18'W × 45'L: Starting around $7,200-$8,900 (accommodates most Class A RVs)
• 18'W × 55'L: Starting around $9,500-$12,000+ (large Class A with extra storage)

All of these include standard features: 12-14 foot leg height, 29-gauge galvanized steel panels, and certified engineering for wind and snow loads.

Roof style has a big impact on both price and performance. Vertical roof designs add approximately $800-$1,500 to the base price but are worth it for proper RV protection. The vertical panel orientation lets rain, snow, and debris slide off naturally instead of piling up on the roof — and in areas with heavy precipitation, that difference matters more than most people realize.

Color customization typically adds $200-$500 depending on how many panels you want colored. We offer 15+ color options for roofs, trim, and sides, so you can match your home or pick a finish that reflects heat better in sunny climates.

Anchoring systems depend on your foundation type. Concrete anchors come included in the base price for concrete pads. Ground anchors with rebar or auger systems for dirt or gravel sites may add $200-$400 to installation costs.

Our free delivery covers transportation of all materials to your site anywhere in the continental United States AND complete professional installation by our certified crews. You're not getting a pile of parts with confusing instructions. You're getting a fully assembled, ready-to-use RV carport.

The only costs we don't include: site preparation (leveling if needed) and permits (which vary by location). We cover both during your consultation so there aren't any surprises.

A vertical roof style provides the best protection for RVs in virtually all climates, especially regions with rain, snow, or heavy debris. Yes, it costs a bit more than horizontal or regular roof styles. But the performance gap is substantial — and honestly, it's worth every penny if you're serious about protecting your RV.

Vertical roof carports feature metal panels running vertically from peak to sides, creating a ridged surface similar to what you'd see on a residential home. Water, snow, leaves, debris — it all channels directly off the sides instead of sitting there.

Regular (horizontal) roof styles run panels horizontally across the structure. They're cheaper, but those horizontal ridges catch debris and let moisture pool. Horizontal roofs accumulate 3-4 times more debris than vertical designs, which means more frequent cleaning and more potential problems.

If you're in a northern state with real snowfall, we strongly recommend vertical roofs rated for 100 lbs/sq.ft. snow load minimum. Steep pitch plus vertical panels means even heavy, wet snow slides off on its own.

Coastal regions? Vertical roofs handle tropical storms and hurricanes far better thanks to superior water management. And even in arid climates like the Southwest, we still recommend vertical roofs for RV carports — less dust and sand accumulation because debris sheds so efficiently.

Yes — our RV carports are engineered with 100 lbs/sq.ft. snow load ratings and wind resistance up to 140 mph, exceeding building code requirements in all 50 states. These aren't built just to survive average conditions — they're built to handle decades of weather extremes.

A 100 lbs/sq.ft. snow load rating means your carport can support roughly 4-5 feet of heavy, wet snow without structural compromise. For perspective, most residential building codes in snow-prone regions only require 30-50 lbs/sq.ft. — so our carports exceed local requirements by 2-3 times.

Wind resistance varies by size and anchoring method, but our typical installations are certified for 140 mph winds (Category 4 hurricane equivalent). Properly anchored metal carports flat-out outperform wood-framed structures in high-wind events.

We use 29-gauge galvanized steel for all panels and framing — it's the sweet spot between strength, weight, and corrosion resistance. The galvanization process applies a zinc coating that protects against rust and oxidation, even in harsh coastal or humid environments.

The advantages over alternatives are significant. Steel delivers 2-3 times the structural strength of aluminum per thickness. Unlike wood, metal requires zero maintenance, won't rot, and won't attract termites, and it lasts 2-3 times longer. Metal carports typically last 20-30+ years, while fabric covers deteriorate in just 2-5 years.

We offer extensive customization including 15+ color choices, three roof styles, multiple anchoring systems, and optional side panels or full enclosures — so you can build an RV carport that matches both your aesthetic preferences and functional needs.

Pick from 15+ colors for your roof, trim, and side panels. Classic white and tan reflect heat in sunny climates. Earth tones like brown and green blend with natural surroundings. Bold colors like red or blue? They make a statement.

Beyond color, you can select from our three roof styles (vertical, horizontal, or A-frame horizontal), choose between open, partially enclosed, or fully enclosed configurations, and add features like extra height for tall Class A motorhomes with rooftop accessories.

Your foundation type determines which anchoring system we'll use:

Concrete pads (recommended): We drive wedge anchors or expansion bolts directly into the concrete — the strongest, most permanent option. Your pad should be at least 4 inches thick and level within 1/2 inch across the entire surface.

Asphalt driveways: Specialized asphalt anchors distribute load across a wider area to prevent pull-through. These work great for existing driveways.

Dirt or gravel: We use mobile home-style anchors with rebar or auger systems driven 3-4 feet into the ground, connected to the carport frame with steel cables or straps. Not as permanent as concrete, but this method provides excellent stability when properly installed.
