Last camper had roof problems, not going there again. Should keep most of the rain and sun off of it. 12'h X 24'w X 25'l.

Kinda of a tight angled space to work with, but it fits good and looks decent. Boat will replace truck in picture.

We use our boat and camper once a month minimum 12 months a year. Going to be awesome to just drop or pickup and go without covers or leaving in the elements. Very happy so far.

I would dig some post holes, fill with concrete with a "U" bolt on top. Then chain the structure to the "U" bolt. It's still a temporary structure. We can get some horrendous winds.
Thanks for the structure report. I'm still thinking about getting one.

It looks like the structure is just resting on the ground - not attached. Is it?
Are you planning to fasten it to earth somehow?


It's staked with big spikes in a bunch of spots. We'll see how it does this weekend with the wind we're getting. Told it is good for big winds, we'll see. I have good insurance if not....

Looks great. I have a 26"x31" on order, $5500 including tax and install.

Do I need it, no. Do I want it yes.

Opening. I had about 4" of clearance at the AC unit backing it in. My truck is slightly higher than stock. The peak I guess is 15-16'

It can need permits. I'm not in a city, county rural and it's "Temporary", never heard of any problems from tons of people in my neck of the woods.

I went through this guy. He's local and sets everything up for you over the phone and gets you dialed in and gives recommendations. Price seems the same no matter where you go. It ends up being west coast metal buildings doing the work. They called a week ahead of time, showed up when they said, installed in 3 hours, did good work and left.

I went with 12 gauge, extra braces and a-frame vertical roof, 6 ft walls with gables. It cost about $4600 including tax.


Not bad at all. I need something similar, thanks for the reference!
