RV Carports & Covers — Tall Enough for Any Rig.
RVs are a major investment, and parking one in the open destroys finishes, seals, decals, and tires faster than almost any other use. A Triton Industries RV carport keeps your motorhome, fifth wheel, travel trailer, or toy hauler protected from sun, hail, snow, tree sap, and UV damage — at a fraction of the cost of a full enclosed RV garage. We size covers for every rig from pop-up campers to 45-ft Class A motorhomes, with clear heights from 12 ft to 17 ft to fit slide-outs and rooftop AC units. Choose open-sided for easy in-and-out parking or fully enclosed with a roll-up door for total weather and security protection. Every Triton RV cover is engineered to your local wind and snow load.

Get the Clearance Right the First Time
Nothing is worse than building an RV cover that's too short or too narrow. Here's the Triton sizing guide:
- Travel Trailers (most) — 12 ft eave height, 12–14 ft wide. Clear-span keeps stabilizer jacks and tongue jacks accessible.
- Fifth Wheels — 13–14 ft eave height (kingpin sticks up), 14 ft wide minimum. Add 2 ft to either side if slide-outs deploy under the cover.
- Class A Motorhomes — 14 ft eave height (12 ft is the bare minimum — A/C units add 6–18 inches), 16 ft wide. 40 ft long covers the typical 36-ft Class A with awning.
- Toy Haulers + Trailer — Triple-wide or 30+ ft wide cover so you can park rig + boat or tow vehicle side-by-side.
Open Cover vs. Fully Enclosed RV Garage
An open cover protects from sun and rain — the two biggest enemies of RV roofs, sealants, and decals. A fully enclosed RV garage adds protection from wind-blown debris, theft, rodents, and freezing temps. Both are good choices; here's how to decide:
- Open RV Cover — 30–50% cheaper. Faster permitting in most counties. Ideal if your RV stays connected to shore power or you're in a mild climate.
- Enclosed RV Garage — Adds walls, an oversize roll-up door (12×14 minimum for fifth wheels, 14×16 for Class A), and a walk door. Best if you want to work on the rig year-round, store gear inside, or you're in a harsh-weather zone.
Why Triton for RV Covers
RV covers see more wind load than any other backyard structure because they're tall and open. Triton uses certified-rated 12-gauge framing on all RV-height covers, vertical-roof panels with full ridge cap (mandatory above 30 ft length), and reinforced anchors. Every Triton RV cover is engineered to your county's wind load with stamped drawings included on certified builds.
Common Questions About RV Carports
How tall should my RV cover be?
Measure your RV at its tallest point (usually the rooftop A/C) and add 12 inches of clearance. For Class A motorhomes that's typically 13–14 ft eave height. We'll confirm during quoting.
Can the cover be enclosed later?
Yes. All Triton RV covers are framed for future enclosure — sides, ends, walk doors, and roll-up doors can all be added.
Do I need a concrete pad?
Not required for the cover itself — gravel and asphalt work fine. Concrete is recommended if you'll be jacking the rig up regularly or storing it for long periods.
