We tried the fabric cover and didn't like how difficult it was to put on and take off. Purchased one of those metal pole tarp covered units. It covers all but the cab portion. Have to replace the panels about every three to four years.
Would rather have a metal cover, but can get away with placing this one closer to property line because its not permanent i.e. temporary structure.
I really like the idea of the metal pole with plastic tarps units for the same reasons as you mentioned..... no permit required and can be placed closer to wall/property line than the 5' set back minimum. The cost is minimal compared to a metal awning that requires $1700 in permit costs plus the $3K-$4K for a 14'W x 35'L X 12'T tall unit
My concern is the wind and destruction of the plastic or worse yet, starts flapping against the RV causing paint damage and/or scratches.
Where did you purchase your? Any pics? Would like to hear from those that have used this set up.
