    Need pics of your camp porches/covers

    Looking for some ideas for homemade awnings/covers over a camper/rv that extend out over a front porch/deck. Something to protect the roof of the camper from the sun/weather and completely covers the front area of the camper for shade and rain protection over the porch.

    Post 'em if you got 'em please. Looking for any tips in building (height, slope, materials, etc.

    Thanks.

    personally, I'd look at the carports.....the legs can be done taller....for less than $900 you can have one 21 long and 18 wide...next size can go to 26' long...may sound high, but figure time and fuel...they can get it done in 1 day

            with a car port like that you can add a stringer to those legs and build a covered porch right off the side, best/easiest option for sure

                Built over an existing slab. 24 wide and 30 deep. Hard wired 50amp rv plug and two 8' strip lights. The trusses were built at home and hauled up there. I cant remember the height at the ridge but the lower 2x6 on the truss is 12 feet. Trailer stays under there nearly year round. We also have a 12x16 metal building thats been slowly converted to out kitchen/bath house. Its got a covered porch thats 16x16, treated plywood floor and tin roof.

                Finished the bathroom couple weeks ago

                    His one is 12x15. Total cost for metal and wood was around $1200. It's solid as an ox.

                      Also, the house is a 12x40 Graceland building we bought new and finished out with plumbing, electrical, drywall, etc.. Cheap way to go for a 600sq ft cabin when you include the lofts that are built in.

                          Yes sir.

                          Aubrey, got any pics of the inside? Thats the next deal for me, either build from ground up or finish a bought one. Need more sleeping space even a 28' travel trailer gets cramped with 4 adults and a 10 year old

                            These aren't the latest as the shower and floor is done but it will give you and idea.. Includong the deck, building and finish out we probably have 12k in it. We have put cabinets, sink, a D countertops in the kitchen, I just don't have pictures.
