I have posted this in a few other threads.

This is what the DW would allow me to put in, no metal siding, poles or the like.





It was 6K, including 30 amp service and water.

Nice!

I like the concrete pad....was that included as well? I was quoted close to 15k for just the pad, I nearly soiled my pants!

20x41 with 12 foot legs and 3 foot sides. They through in the sunshade you see on the side. ( and yes 12 foot legs will clear your a/c units, I’m 13’ 4” in Height) Vertical roof and Hurricane certified.

I got that size so I can open my slides and store my tractor and other stuff out of the weather.

Just an FYI your ground HAS to be within 4 inches of level for proper installation.


Thanks. At least I have something to compare with.

Best bang for your buck...I wish I did it years ago.

We had plans, price quotes, etc for a 'car port' for the camper. But then Mom died this September, and we no longer have a reason or obligation to stay in Virginia. We plan on escaping this coming spring/early summer. Therefore, the car port went right out the window. We will most likely have a barn (metal building or whathaveyou) constructed on the new property. But, this is my first winter with this camper, and I've been worried about the roof. Every single RV cover I have looked at (under $400) is made from non-woven fabric, like a reusable grocery bag. As a seamstress, I know exactly how durable that fabric is. It isn't. The reviews I've read on ALL of the covers have at least a significant percentage of people fussing that the covers shredded in the first winter storm. Are there ANY durable covers that will allow the camper to breathe (NOT grow mold and mildew) and yet protect the roof and seams and not set me back too much money??

My neighbor just purchased a kit from versatube that looks pretty solid. Shipping was included in price and he installed himself. His was a smaller unit then what I would need but he is pretty happy with it

Clean, inspect & recaulk the roof, give the sides a good wax job & save the $$ on the cover.

How does one find out if the roof will support weight? It would be a LOT easier if I could get UP there to clean, recaulk, etc.

Actually I know the answer to this for your trailer - since I read it last week (prior to putting the cover on). The thread on this is:

https://www.keystoneforums.com/forum...ad.php?t=29861

I happen to have a walkable roof and bought a cover (ado). To be honest when I bought the trailer being a newbie I was so tired they could have upsold me on anything. As the other person from NH stated with all out snow, leaves, etc this is the only way to go for boats (I do my own shrinkwrapping)...so throw the cover into the package...

I searched and found these threads, but remember, many newbies don't know about searching, especially if they're an old fogy like me, this guy had less than 10 posts at the time I owned/ran a Corvette forum for over 15 years... never bothered me if they asked a popular question for the upteempth time. Replying to an old thread? Yup, thats me. That's why they have a forum is to help people, old thread or new.

That's because it's CA is why.
