Yeah, I think I'd consider some extensions for the sides, to put the roof high enough for you to work on the top of the RV, at least while on your hands & knees. It will keep the roof dry, until you get it sealed.
Maybe get some 4' sections of pipe that is a little larger on the I.D. than your current pipe is on it's O.D....then put it about 12" into the ground, and drill a whole through both pipes, and bolt it in place. This would give you about 36" of additional height, which should be enough.
Go with the rebar stakes, as Ron had mentioned, and secure the entire "building" in about 6 places. If you are intersted in sides for the winter, you can run tarps that are tied at the top, and run a cable along the bottem, and tie the tarp to that. Use your imagination! It won't be the same as a stick built garage, but you'll have plenty of shelter from the weather!!
Just some thoughts! As you may have noticed, we don't want you stopping due to weather!! Ha ha!!
