Using an additional awning?

I have a coleman gazebo with screens.. used it last weekend..the dogs can be in there, out of the sun, but still "contained" in an area with us.. ( they could escape under the screen if they wanted to but had no desire) Also was nice when there was a sprinkling.. because the grass there didn't get wet, and of course helped a lot with any after rain bugs.. they are a bit heavy to tote around, but the two of us ( females).. were able to set it up within about 20 mins.. easier to do with 2 people.. we will be taking it again on our next trip...

On the southern prairie, people who have them use them, people who don't will wonder "maybe I should be doing that too?" We don't have much natural shade, it gets much to hot to be sitting out in the sun, and often too windy to keep RV awnings deployed.

In the forests of Michigan, we always found enough natural shade, but wanted screen houses because the biting insects also liked the shade and still air of the forested parks.

Many RV parks will limit where you can put up additional shelters. I don't encounter this much in campgrounds, however, and the campground I use most often has a "one RV, two shelters" policy for RV sites.

We have one by Gander Mountain and really like it.Link
Don't use the screens often, but when you need them they really come in handy. Good product and nice value/price.

We have both an EZ Up and a screened gazebo. The problem is that we've run into many campgrounds that don't allow them to be placed on the grass. We usually just take the EZ Up if there will be opportunities for bank fishing.

We setup for months at a time so thought an awning screen room would be a great addition. It was the first summer. But after we took it down, packed it up and rolled the wheels to the next camp host location, we did not put it up again. Now I have a power awning and will never use it. It's still packed away somewhere in the bays.

I did not like the way it cut down the flow of air into the motor home. If I opened up my front door there was very little air flow...and the air in the screen room was hotter than outside the screen room. Fine for fall but not so good for summer heat.

We don't have many bugs here... we're in the NW. Maybe if we had a bug problem I would have used it more.

We debated for months whether or not to purchase one. Finally pulled the trigger on purchasing a 10' X 10' Coleman awning and boy are we glad we did. It provides portable shade just where you need it. For us mostly over the picnic table. However we also used it to shade the inflatable kiddy pool we have for our grandchildren. Without to much effort we moved it without tearing it down. We camped in a spot where wind was not an issue. If winds did pick up above 20 mph I would simply remove the canvas only and leave the frame standing. If you use it on a concrete pad you will have to figure out a way to secure the legs to the ground. In my case two legs where on dirt and two on concrete. I pinned the legs on the dirt and used extra tie down (para cord) on the two that were on the concrete. Worked well. Wish we would have bought one sooner. Good luck. P.S. the Coleman we bought was about the same price as the EZ-UP. I have used EZ-UP in the past for craft booths. I think the Coleman's leg adjustment latches are easier to use with my nerve damaged hands.
