Slide out permanently out
I have a 38 footer on a permanent site, and will never move it. The slide is out and will stay out since I have built cabinets into the ends where it would come in. Even though it is new, I am think...

We had a 40 foot destination trailer on a lot in a seasonal site. We chose to build a roof over it high enough that we also got about 12 by 24 of covered deck space. It was not cheap, we spent about $7500 on it which only included framing in the 4 x 4's. He added posts so we had the ability to frame out screens every 33 inches.
About 4 years later, my wife decided she wanted a park model instead of the much less insulated destination trailer so we weren't nearly as cold in the fall (or using a 30 lb tank of propane in a weekend) We were able to sell the trailer itself for above book as it had been protected quite well from the elements for 4 years, BUT we could not recoup any of the money spent on the deck/cover.
So be sure you're building that cover with the possibility you may have to replace your travel trailer down the road...many years later.
I am not and will not build a roof over the whole trailer. All I am going to do is put a small permanent roof over the slide and not a roll up awning.
