We recently purchased a 1999 Dutch Star 38' diesel pusher. We live in western Washington so need to get the rig under cover. Looking for advice for a 40 x 24 carport. Anyone in the area that could recommend a reputable company to build? We are in the Tacoma area.    thanks
 
Can't help in tha Tacoma area but will offer the following:

Make it BIGGER than you think you need. Or do like I did and have to put an addition on the building. 40'er fit. 42'er did not. Now 45'er fits with plenty of room to walk around. It is always less expensive to start bigger than to add on.
 
  Try west coast metal buildings inc.  I think that is the same as mine.  It is all metal and you can have it built your way.  I elected to get just the roof but you can get sides and ends also.  In my area (whidbey Island) I found a local dealer.  He has all the plans and specs.  You order from him with 10% down.  The company in Oregon ,when it has several orders for the same area ,will deliver and set up.  You pay the builders the balance when they are finished.  You are responsible for the site prep.  Be sure local ordinances are going to be happy when you are done.  I have a 26  x 20 x 14 tall with roof only. I added  walls later and wish I had let them do it.  The extra cost would have been equal to my labor and material cost.  I'm very happy with the unit I have.  Took 4 guys about 2 hours to put up.

 
here's custom "solar structure/car port" with PV solar collectors on the roof and MH underneath.  Big tax advantages for this approach.
