(More customer reviews)We had high hopes of using this as shelter for our RV but it is not made for that. The picture shows farm equipment stored under it and Camping World sells it therefore we thought it would work for an RV shelter. But the company says it is for short term use like day or weekend use. It says it has a 11 ft center but due to a stabilizing bar that goes across (not shown in picture) you loose 18 inches of height. There is no way to secure the horizontal bars (side and top) or the trusses to the side angles - the company says the canopy will hold it together. We found this not to be true. They came apart on the top when we were putting the legs on and a 10mph wind would catch the canopy and pull it apart (we had the canopy as tight as we could get it). We bought extra legs to raise it high enough for our RV but had left it with the one set, as it came, to see how it would hold up to weather. The second night up we had winds and many of the horizontal bars came out of the connector. We ended up going out in the wee hours and taking the canopy cover off. For the money it is poorly constructed. The welds do not go all the way around the angle bars, the lack of holes to screw to secure the bars is poor planning. We bought screws to hold the truss bar to the side angle since there were holes there. Again, the company depends on the canopy to hold the unit together. We have shelters we use for flea markets that are easier to put up and better constructed. I can not imagine going to all the work to put this up for a weekend event. My sister's car shelter sold at a warehouse store is made better and has tension rods to make sure the unit stays together. I am glad Camping World stands behind the products they sell. It would be wise though to put a disclaimer that it is not intended to be used as a storage shelter.
