Costs/types of RV storage shelter?

Currently keep RV in outdoor storage in Orange County. Just received notice of another rent increase.

For years have weighed the pros/cons of second home in high desert. The prospect of "free" RV storage tips the balance in favor some. But I wouldn't want RV sitting in the intense high desert sun.

The homes I'm considering are sound cosmetic fixers but don't include RV parking garages. The goal here is not some kind of dream house but a clean usable second home without breaking the bank.

What are prices for permanent shade canopy installed suitable for shading a 25' RV? I would prefer some side shading too but don't want to spend for a full-on barn or garage.

Family has cabin in Landers which has been subject to break ins. Way out in middle of nowhere.

What do you think about areas in YV such as Sky Harbor, Western Hills, Country club area? Is the crime/break-in issue as bad? One real negative would be if I was always dealing with break ins or that threat.

Neighborhood has no HOA looking at Google earth I see these steel modular types installed on some lots. Any rough idea of the cost of these?

Build the roof for shade, and enclose the sides later?
