DIY Versatube RV Carport Shelter for High Northern Snow Loads

[@maxxonetwo3]

Spray your roof panels with wax furniture polish it makes the snow come down easier. Nice job.

The woods of Northern Michigan (the notorious UPPER PENINSULA) is so peaceful 🥳🥳🥳 I had a magical wedding on Mackinaw Island, grew up spending Summers up North ❤️🙏🏻✝️ Looking impressive amongst the pines 🥳

[@MortonsontheMove]

Sounds amazing, it is very peaceful there :)

[@RVgeeks]

It was amazing to see that just the two of you could build that big structure yourselves, with just a small amount of help from Cait's Dad. Wish we'd been there again this summer to help. It did indeed look VERY rewarding! 🏆

[@robreighter2851]

Okay, I’m exhausted!!! Good job guys!

[@airstreamer]

It will be so nice to have a place to safely park your RV. Well done! Are you "Yoopers?" We are former "Trolls!" 😀

[@nathanurick8320]

Why am I not surprised that you two tackled & accomplished this. People like you seem to be able to do anything. I’ve been able to do several projects on my 3500 ram thanks to you. Enjoy your carport.

Well I thought I left a comment on this video but I must not have hit the button LOL, Just Subsribed but have been watching off an on for a while when one would pop up. Started becase of your Bigfoot camper. Really like your channel. this video tell me that your new location is in the general location of a vacation we are planning for next summer to Copper Harbor area. we will be comming from lower Michigan and might return that way or go south though Wisconsin. I'm in Hope that you can give us some awesome Boondocking spots in the U.P. It's going to be a 10 day trip from central Indiana. Oh we have a POP UP truck Camper and a TT but will be in the Truck camper for this trip.

They do get a Lot of snow up there. We're on the south side of the Yoop and the past few winters I've raked and shoveled the roofs off of our porch, pole barn, and woodshed for fear of to much weight. This year I think will be a little lighter, but you never know with Superior.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Lots of work guys. I had no idea how far north you guy are. It gets really cold up there. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@maxvanrunkle1052]

Good work Mortons!! You are amazing! Question: Where did you get the RV carport/building? Thx!

[@gf3803]

Yeah, weird that isn't mentioned anywhere and so many are asking about it.

[@maxvanrunkle1052]

@@gf3803 I wonder if they are happy with the process of purchasing and shipping and the end result? Well, maybe they will let us know......Maybe!!

[@janicewood5561]

I tell your story to other travelers and I always say that you are the couple to follow on the road. Man, you guys can fix anything / build anything. I would be happy to just be somewhere in your proximity so that if something happens I can shout out…Help!

[@ScottVenier]

Next time look into renting a scissor lift. It's surprisingly affordable and makes getting up and down so much easier.

[@JM-me1vh]

So good to see the working together.

[@DennisWintjes2]

Thanks for sharing!. Like 206

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

That came together nicely. I’ll be building something similar but with 9 concrete pillars as the main support, 10’ high (3x3 grid, 22’ wide, 30’ long)

[@geoffmolyneux9173]

Always put the screws through the ridges, not the valley of the roofing panel. Then when your neoprene washers fail you have less chance of roof leaks.

[@ricktokle5848]

😎🇺🇸👍 Awesome job you two 🔥✌️

[@rayswiney7398]

Tarp was a good idea. Also helps to have a smoking hot assistant

[@jimestes7096]

Thank you. This is exactly what I plan to do on a smaller structure.

[@wb6anp]

You needed a telehandler, would have made it a little easier.

[@mossman7527]

Looks like a versatube sweet I just got done building me one

[@maxvanrunkle1052]

@mossman7527 Please let us know where you purchased and what you think of the product? I am in need of more carports/shade here in the Mojave Desert!! Thank you in advance!

[@mossman7527]

@@maxvanrunkle1052 I got my on the internet it shipped out here in Idaho where I live and I got a 40ft lean to. It is a great product I really like it. The instructions wasn’t the best but we managed.

[@keithbar19741974]

Awesome video as always, what brand did you choose for the structure?

[@dallaslehr8893]

Going by the title and my search, I assume it is by "Versatube".

[@stevensaxon8888]

What name brand of carport kit?

[@gf3803]

they obviously don't want to provide that information for some reason. But if you're interested in the camera gear they use..........

[@dallaslehr8893]

Title shows "Versatube" - if you still needed to know.

[@robbehr8806]

Outstanding video! I'm considering a VersaTube building for northern Arizona at about 6,200 feet.

[@TrishaStorm]

You both make a good team. Quick question how do you keep your belongings safe while you’re not there?

[@bbazinet11]

Great video! Thanks for all the detail. I am deciding which brand to go with right now.

[@MortonsontheMove]

Hope it helps, we went with these guys because they were the only ones who could meet our snow load in this style building.

[@jayt2387]

Not that's hard work! I always wonder if when you and others do these projects, did you know how to build? Engineer background? Or previous build? Or was it 100% new research? Glad to see you guys back on the tube.

[@kathygallagher7378]

Nice work on the build - but very hard work. Just curious why you chose the individual footings rather than forming a continuous footing on each side. Or the other option we had our carport was helical ground anchors drilled directly into earth. I really enjoy your videos - thanks! Kathy

[@kathysturm4251]

Where did you get this building and could someone share the link? Thanks

[@livinglifemyway7349]

how tall are your sidewalls? great job

[@jimcrouch683]

Most of the companies that I found online have bad reviews regarding shipping or other related aspects. What company did you use?

[@MortonsontheMove]

We went through versatube and it worked out well for us, except not delivering on a flatbed.

[@chrisclark9326]

How tall was this?

[@olderolderman4603]

I can 🛑 laughing 😂

[@edwardyeutson8507]

what was the cost?????????

[@dougkrogh4262]

Versatile is the most crooked building I have ever put up 5 peace trusses don't work

[@mewshifter]

so many expensive tools x.x
