Weatherford Carports helps Weatherford RV owners get a tall cover quoted by a local carport installer. Request a free quote and you will get a call back to discuss height, length and anchoring. Parked in the open, a camper takes a beating from UV, hail and summer heat, and roof seals and rubber membranes age much faster.
RV ports are the carports where measuring matters most. A few inches of missing clearance can mean scraping an air conditioner or a vent cover every trip.
Measure height to the very top
Measure from the ground to the highest point of the RV, which is usually the rooftop AC shroud, antenna or a ladder rack, not the roof line. Add clearance for driving on uneven ground and for a future unit that may be taller. Remember that the side legs set the eave height, and on a regular roof the eave is the lowest part of the opening.
Fifth-wheels also need room for the hitch and the tow vehicle while you back in. Check the clearance at the front of the cover as well as the sides.
Length, roof style and drainage
Add length beyond the bumper so rain blowing in from the open end does not soak the back of the rig. Long units are where a vertical roof pays off: panels run from the ridge to the eave, so rain and hail roll straight off instead of sitting in horizontal ribs. Ask the installer about extra trusses and bracing for long, tall frames, since they carry more wind load.
Some owners add a gable end or one side wall to block the afternoon sun and driving rain.
Backing in and parking pad
Pick a spot with a straight, firm approach. Backing a long trailer into a tight cover beside a fence is stressful. Gravel or concrete under the RV keeps the tires out of mud, and a concrete pad gives the strongest base for anchors. Compare pad and anchor options and boat covers if you have both.
Frequently asked questions
Can an RV carport be enclosed later?
Often, but walls add wind load. Ask before ordering whether the frame and anchors are rated for walls.
Does my HOA allow an RV cover?
Many subdivisions restrict tall structures and RV parking. Get HOA approval in writing before ordering.
