Steel building for Fifth Wheel

Looking to build a Steel storage/workshop for the 5th wheel and other things. Has anyone had any experience with this and who have you used? Some I am finding only have a 12x12 roll up door and I don't think that is high enough for the RV, a 2019 317RLOK. May need to be customized.

You will need a 14 foot Tall opening. They normally don't make 13 ft 6 in tall doors
Most 5th wheels are over 13 ft

I had a building built. Around here we call them pole barns mine has 16 ft side walls with 14 ft doors. We used a local contractor that specializes in pole barns. I know there are nation wide companies that do it. Here is mine.

I’ve built two, my latest one has 16’ doors, I found on the 14’ door was just too close for me. I used roper buildings both times.

I used Mueller Metal Buildings and a local Lubbock, Tx contractor. Standard 8 foot door for the truck side, and a 14 foot door for the RV. Just make sure the 14 foot door is opened all the way. My front AC caught it the one time it was not quite pulled all the way up.

We used a local contractor to build our shop and went with 14' x 14' doors. I would recommend high lift doors instead of roll up.
