Does anyone have a good idea for a metal rv cover, we live in AZ and most companies I talked to are back east or out of state. They sub contact out.

Living in Arizona, your biggest concern really isn’t snow — it’s sun, heat, and wind. I’d focus on a metal RV cover that has solid roof framing, good clearance, and plenty of airflow so heat doesn’t just sit under it all day. Open sides or some type of ventilation make a big difference in the desert. I’d also make sure the steel is properly galvanized or coated for UV resistance and that it’s anchored well, because monsoon winds can be no joke. Since a lot of the big companies just subcontract locally anyway, you might actually get better results talking directly to a local metal building installer. Sometimes a simple gable-style RV cover built by a local crew ends up stronger and more straightforward than ordering from an out-of-state company.

Thanks Tony, after looking at several avenues, we decided to purchase a reputable metal RV cover and build/install it ourselves. After careful planning and going over the instalation part we took our time and it came out looking nice!
