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 ...

OP, interesting topic for sure! I thought about this when I installed my metal carport and decided to use gravel as a parking base rather than a more permanent material. While a covered parking area for a camper, boat, tractor or car is an added benefit to me, I can understand that others would see it as an eyesore. I can easily get rid of the structure, scrape the gravel and plant grass.
Steel structure has value to scrappers though. You could either attack it with some sawzalls and transport yourself (and make a couple dollars) or you could probably find a scrapper who is willing to come collect it from you without charge.
Personally, I like the idea of noting in the listing that you would remove the structure at the request of a buyer. That way it becomes a non-issue. The people that value the carport would like it. The people that don't value it would have no real reason to avoid it. As close to the water as you are, I'm sure there are fishermen with 26-30 foot fishing boats that would LOVE covered storage for boat and trailer.
Good luck either way!
