How do I know what size cover I need for my RV

The Perfect Fit: Choosing the Right Size Cover for Your RV


RVs are the ultimate companions for spring, summer, and fall adventures, making it effortless to embrace the great outdoors on a whim. But when winter's chill sets in, safeguarding your RV from the harsh elements becomes crucial. A sturdy metal RV carport is your best defense, and Maco Structures is here to guide you in selecting the perfect one.

Determining the Height of Your RV Cover To select a RV Cover with the right height, start by measuring your RV. Class A and C RVs typically stand around 10 feet high, while Class B models range from 7 to 9 feet. For ample clearance, we suggest opting for a carport with a minimum height of 12 feet. This ensures easy navigation in and out without any height constraints.

Assessing the Width Requirements The average RV spans about 12 feet in width, but those with slide-outs can extend up to 18 feet. It's vital to choose a RV Cover that provides sufficient side clearance, not just for the RV itself but also for any additional features like slideouts.


Considering the Length of Your RV An often overlooked aspect is the length of your RV. Class A RVs, for instance, can vary from 25 to 45 feet in length. Ensure that the RV Cover you select is at least as long as your RV, if not a few feet longer, to guarantee total coverage and protection.


Final Touches

Once you've determined the size and placing of your metal carport, you can focus on design. Roof style options include vertical roofs with boxed eaves or A-Frame with horizontal roofs. Each style is unique and varies in price. You can also customize the color of your carport roof to better match the exterior of your home.


Panels

Do you live somewhere that has especially harsh winters, rains, wind, or hot sun? If your RV needs added protection, you may want to invest in side panels for your RV carport. While a closed carport is more expensive upfront, it will better protect your RV in the long run, especially if it’s going to be parked in a harsh climate.
