Hey all , I know most of you more than likely have a garage to house your newells. I need an inexpensive idea on how to cover mine for the winter. I won't be able to move it off site.
Rv cover, which always seems to get torn.
Permanent cover ??? I'd like to spend no more than 5k on this endeavor.

Wax!
My coach has been in the weather it’s entire life. Covers can introduce their own issues. Obviously, I would like to have a bus barn like Tom’s but short of that... if you can... crank generator once a month, drive the coach for 30 mins and keep it waxed.
IMHO!

If you want to.. check out yuma bargain warehouse...it has all the angles and parts needed to build your own tent/garage set up
I was looking at a 50x40 tarp with angles and then buying the pipe locally

We are located in a county in FL that requires a permit for anything to include a portable buildings. We came from a county in TN that if you built a pole barn for agricultural purposes i.e storing a tractor along with your MH no permit needed....go figure. Having said this, in your situation, your county may have all together different guidelines. Have you looked at one of those Versatube RV carports (

I have put a heavy coat of Mop & Glow on the roof once a year. Just be careful not to get runs down the sides...you'll regret that. Gives excellent protection!

I have 1 1/4" tube, tarps and grommets, that I used once for a canopy for my last Coach. Your welcome to the pipe, but I found heavy winds moved it around too much and too close to my coach. Some tarp is still good, but only enough for about 1/2 your coach.
I'll second the great wash and wax for a long lasting good look.

This is what I found that I really like, I'd really like to have supports on one side only as I have a lot of plumbing/electrical running on the drivers side. Waiting for the resort to get back to me on the design, they said they didnt have a problem getting me drawings since Im in cali and pose no design threat

That looks like Dean Loucks' coach. He is the guy that designs all the Liberty coach paint schemes.1
