A different but maybe interesting topic...
Wife and I are contemplating selling our house and was wondering: We have a metal carport type building on a concrete pad to house our 32' motorhome. Is that structure going to be more of a hindrance ...

Well,
As you can see and read, there's all kinds of opinions. Who cares whether or not this is the right or wrong place to post this type of question. You asked and, you got answers, period. The really short of it is, whether or not you installed the cover or not, or poured the slab or not, will not make any difference in your sale. Your house, its condition, its age, where you live, the type of community, whether or not there are schools nearby, crime rate, and all kinds of other variables will attract or, not attract a given set of buyers.
Some will see the carport as a great advantage and some maybe not so. I'd not even consider even thinking about removing it. If a set of buyers likes the house and is willing to put in an offer, but really doesn't like the carport or sees no value in it, that's THEIR PROBLEM, not yours. It's the same with a pool. Some see a pool as a great hindrance and added monthly cost while others, really embrace the value of a pool and are glad it's already in place so they don't have to add one. But, it's the buyers choice. If you don't want a pool, DON'T BUY THE HOUSE, it's not rocket science.
If a carport for a motorhome, WITH A SLAB, is a turn-off for potential buyers, then there's two answers. One, DON'T BUY THE HOUSE!! Or two, buy the house and TEAR IT DOWN!!! This is not a life or death situation. It's a carport for a motorhome.
