Im thinking about buying one of those metal carport things.... But are 10'sidewalls too short?

What is the overall height of our GMC Motorhomes? I need worse case... Travel Pod, none low profile AC, etc.

Thanks...

You also need additional height depending on the angle off approach. Approaching on an incline requires more height than a perfectly flat approach.

My 73-23 was 9'4~5" before I got the low profile A/C.

If you are building, I would go with 12' or even 14' side walls. My barn is 10' (the door is way short) and though I do have a lift in there, I cannot get many vehicles to full height. (It still beats crawling on the floor.)
