Have done it myself in a word no.

Actually these take about 15 mins to set up

I can remember as a kid seeing the awning fully screened in like this.

15 min is very optimistic from the people I've seen setting them up.

Depends if you are making a tent or already have 3/4's done using the awning Faster taking it up than putting it in place

Actually it does not, as it is attached to the manual or power awning

Used to see more screened in awnings than today, but I still see them now and then, especially in state parks. I don't know that I've seen an awning added to a screened in awning, but have seen plenty of tarps or other canopies over tables separate from awnings, so it's not that big a stretch.

I always use the leveling jacks when required.
(My now 25 year old Norcold refrigerator is still operating as it should).

Short answer, no.
Long answer, nooooo.

Well, that’s about 14 minutes longer than it typically takes me to have a cold beer in my hand. :W

Water and/or electric if it’s there. If not, no problem.

Otherwise, it’s no jacks, no awnings, no shelters, no mats, no light strings, no leaf blowers, no satellite dishes, no flags, no signs.

Where we were last night.

With today’s weather patterns being erratic and often severe, it appears that I have been seeing setups like this less often.
I do see some seasonal campsites with add-on screen rooms but I have also seen them get trashed in storms with absentee owners.
