I have a couple more suggestions. As I said I would surely x brace the end and lag bolt them as nails could work loose if the building starts to move in a high wind. I think the braces for the end to end look good as they come down almost half way but as on the end bracing I would lag bolt them as well. The part about the wind blowing the roof off. If you enclose 3 sides the wind might get in and lift the roof but if you don't enclose the sides the wind will just blow right through. I also noticed that you have used metal brackets to attach the carring beam to the top of the 4x4 posts which will help keep the roof in place. The only other issue is how well you have the posts anchored to the ground. If everthing else is hooked together the only thing that could happen is that the whole building could fly away. The structure itself looks pretty good. Just take as much wobble out of it as you can. I can't wait till you get going on the motor home again.
