I live in my class A full time and currently have a spot on a 5 acre ranch in Palmdale. There is no shade and it is very hot in the Mohave desert 5 months out of the year. I want to invest in a metal carport and wondering whether I should get the metal roof, or just buy the skeleton and use sun shade tarps. I worry, since I will be living in the RV, that the metal roof will actually radiate lots of heat since the sun will be beating on it all day... Have any of you lived in an RV parked under such structure in high heat (90 to 105F) and full sun, and if so, how did it work out for you? Any insight would be much appreciated.
You are correct the heat in the desert will just make more heat under the metal carport and running the AC could cause them to overheat, here is my answer to a shade structure here in Las Vegas, I stay cool all summer and can use AC's and still have some day light thru the windows, no need to worry about high winds the wind blows right thru the fabric..
