Metal carport RV shelter

Hey! I am looking for input on what size metal building/RV carport to buy for my 2008 Winnebago Outlook 31c. The spec sheet says it has roughly the following dimensions:

31.5L
11.5H
8.5W

The one I have speced out is

36L
18W
12H (leg length, higher in center)

I was thinking of going shorter for less overhang on front and back mainly to save the space but was afraid I would regret it. For those who have these, how did you decide on what size to get?

Thanks!

  • I went 18' w 40' long and 18'high to the bottom of floor joists,as I have a screen room on top..As its on the riverfront
  • Did the exact thing last year for a 38' fifthwheel. Went with a 40" carport but if I had to do it over I would have went with a 48' foot carport. We are in NM and would desire a bit more shade. Specs look good.
  • Measure your RV yourself. Easier with a helper however. BTW 6 inches isn’t enough. You’ll never be able work on the roof.
