Travel Trailer RV Covers & Carports  Affordable, Long-Lasting Protection for Your Home on Wheels

Your travel trailer isn’t just a camper—it’s the key to weekends at the lake, road trips with friends, and those spur-of-the-moment getaways you talk about for years. But when it’s parked, it still needs protection. Sun, rain, snow, and falling debris don’t care how often you use it.

A custom steel RV cover from Pro Metal Buildings is the simplest way to keep your trailer safe, clean, and ready for your next trip. We design every carport to match the exact size and height of your rig so you get the clearance you need without wasting space.

Why a Travel Trailer Needs a Steel RV Cover

Even when it’s not moving, your trailer is under constant attack from the elements. Left uncovered, it can suffer from:

UV rays that fade decals, crack roof seals, and dry out trim
Rainwater leaks leading to mold, mildew, and floor damage
Snow and ice stressing the roof, breaking seals, and causing rust
Tree sap, branches, and leaves denting and staining the exterior
Bird droppings and rodents damaging the roof, tires, and wiring

A steel RV carport gives you year-round protection and helps preserve both the value and condition of your trailer. And unlike fabric covers, it’s a permanent solution that doesn’t need to be replaced every few years.

Choosing the Right Size for Your Travel Trailer Carport

Travel trailers come in all shapes and sizes—from compact 14-foot campers to 36-foot bunkhouses and hybrid toy haulers. The average setup needs more space than you might think, especially once you account for roof accessories, slide-outs, and space to walk around.

Most travel trailers fall in these ranges:
 Length: 20–36 feet
 Height: 10–12 feet (with rooftop A/C)
 Width: 8–8.5 feet (plus slide-outs or mirrors)

Our recommended carport size range:
 Width: 12–18 feet
 Length: 25–40 feet
 Height: 12–14 feet (enough clearance for airflow and easy access)

If you’re unsure, our RV Measurement Guide will walk you through it step-by-step.

Open Carport or Fully Enclosed Garage?

The right choice depends on how you use your trailer.

An open carport gives you affordable protection from sun, rain, and debris while keeping drive-in access simple.

A fully enclosed garage offers maximum weatherproofing, lockable security, and the option for climate control—ideal for long-term storage or high-value trailers. For full enclosure options, take a look at our metal RV garages.
