Metal carport for FT RVer -Need advice

Welcome to My Life. Although I have never burned my hand on the handle because i was smart when I designed my RV spot and oriented to the RV so that the door is on the north side and that side doesn't get too much sun. But the biggest problem I have are my three dogs right now I am afraid to leave them alone and I have to take them everywhere I go because in case of power failure they wouldn't last 30 minutes in that RV. And even if I installed a WiFi monitoring system to notify me of high heat inside RV, I might be too far to make it back home in 20 minutes to save them. so in great parts the reason why I am willing to splurge that much money to get a good car port is for the safety of my furry friends. The added bonus of course being cooler temperatures for me, shade for my garden and protection for my RV paint Etc

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..
