I appreciate the input. However it's not that simple. I've attached a photo to give you an idea of where the motohome needs to park. The left most blue building is our shop. The motor home is driven in from the right up a steep and narrow driveway. The front bumper is a foot or two from the left end of the shop building. the rear bumber is actually overlaping the garage door, where a vehicle is kept. As it is, getting a small two seat car in and out af that garage is tricky with the moho there. If I attemped to build a steel cover stucture, it would block that door too closely and too much. Also I would have to deal with the proximity to the side od the building, not to mention the slope. As it is. it is inconvient to have the moho there. If I built a steel bldg it would be very dificult to do anything involving the shop.
