Any experience with those metal RV carport companies?

Mine came from Carolina Carports and they came when they said they would but one of the workers dropped a side panel and bent it. I called them and they sent a crew the next week and replaced it. Mine is fully enclosed. They did not have a door as large as I wanted so I had a local metal place build and install a 12' x 15' door for the front of it.....As we are having a tropical storm right now I am glad the rain and debris blowing around will not end up inside or on my 5th wheel...

I have bought 2 from Eagle carports, no problems.

I want to build a new carport of the type you see along the highway for "$795 Installed." It's for my soon-to-be-born Arctic Fox 22H--about 24' long overall. I can't find a local outlet for them and I get the sense they're all sourced by 2-3 national companies with local "crews" doing the installation. Sounds like a bad experience just waiting to happen. Has anybody gone this route and had a decent carport built in a reasonable amount of time? Who should I avoid?

Yep, pretty much how they work, local marketers/sales, one or two companies nationally providing the material, local contractors come in and install.

My install and purchase went as planned, as well as my brothers.

I found that pricing is pretty standard and not much bargining.

Also that $795 (is a little one for a car), a bigger one length and height for a RV, will be in $2,000 or more range, depending options you go with. (Guage of aluminum, style, side-panels, back panel, etc....)

Well worth it in my opinion.

you might call fish and grits company, they,ll find you a dealer.

I have two from Carolina Carport. One is 36ft X 24ft x 14ft high. I park my 5th wheel, truck camper, and aluminum boat under it. The other is 15ft x 10ft x 7ft high. That's for my wife's Jeep. I am well satisfied with both the carports and the company. They came when they were scheduled, a three man crew did the work quickly, and the price was exactly as quoted. In fact they made a small mistake in their pricing, and subtracted the difference. I would never have known. I don't know if they are in business in your area, but I'd say it's worth a check.
