RV garage

Not liking the idea of draping a gigantic tarp or cover over my new rv for the upcoming winter. Thinking of some type of garage or at minimum a roof structure. I am a general contractor, but the thought of a full foundation and the price of lumber nowadays is crazy.
Has anyone found a descent steel building plan that can be built on sauna tubes in the cold and snowy New England ?

I bought a Carolina Carport for mine about 6 years ago. I think I paid $2400 for a 32' long, 18' wide, 10' leg shelter. I just had to get the ground reasonably level, they delivered and installed it. Its secured to the ground, has held up to some serious snow and serious wind. We LOVE it. Keeps the water off the roof and sun off the paint. Money well spent.

We own our own 50 acre campsite. Three family RVs on site. The base camp is a 2015 Jayco that is like new. Our sons have older trailers that are from 1964 and 1968.

Those are oldies, right?. None have ever had a roof or a tarp or anything else for that matter. We check the roofs seasonally and put on Henry roof coating on the seams as necessary.

Build whatever you want, but if you are willing to do the PMs you will be OK.

The caveat is that all of our summer / winter homes are set up on site and not driven around the world.

Not a dumb question. Sonotube is the correct name, they are basically cardboard tubes used for concrete footing forms.
