RV carport/shelter

RV is 11' 5" with a/c cover. Depending on the roof we choose (basic box etc) looks like 12' side walls will be the safest bet.

I got Carolina Carports to put up a 18' x 36' with 12' legs for my 31' fifth wheel. I have been very happy with it

I have a 40 by 14 wide and I would agree you need 12 foot before the arch. Fourteen wide was a custom build for the company I went with. I had metal run all the way down the sunny side, 1/2 way up the other side. Enclosed back, and a fill in bib at the front with the cross member at 12 foot high.

We have a 13' wide area by 36' where the shelter will go. Certified for winds is a definite and 12 gauge on the support material. Husband is just wanting to make absolutely sure the RV will fit under with the a/c cover.

“class C which is 9'6" high on the sides. The a/c unit adds more height.”

So at this point you don’t know the height of your C. Time to measure carefully.

This is the co. I used.https://www.carolinacarportsinc.com/

I've gotten some quotes from this Carolina Carports. They said a 10' side wall goes to 11' 6" center peak height. I'm looking to see what height the side wall would be.

Little confused here. Based upon what you said the wall would be 10'.
Measured mine and side wall is 12'before the arch is added and 15'3" at the center peak. Overall mine is 24'wide by 40'.
What ever you do make sure it is long enough to protect the camper on the open end.

Carolina Carports is probably the most experienced in these parts. They go up in WV, Down in SC and probably more places than that. You tell them what YOU want and they will build it....depending on where in NC you are you might need some strength for snow. No builder will get close to those folks for a purpose built shed and usually done in a day

call your local builder they,ll make it to your needs no guessing ,guy up the road has one half sided works for him. p.s anchor it well.

I just measured our 29b and it is 9'6" from the ground to the extrusion at the top of the side. Then there is the sharp curve where the roof meets the sidewall. + 3 1/2", then the fridge vent on the sloped roof + 4". So just in from the side I'm over 10'.
Don't forget the ladder going up and over, mine is on the back but realtivley close to the side, max air covers.
I would go with a 12' wall, maybe 11' IF the framework went to a minimum clearance of 12'+. That would be the minimum if you are backing under from a level driveway.

Not looking for a door. Just one side and the back enclosed. No eaves either. Stricly a canopy and one side closed to keep the southern exposure of the camper covered.
