attached screen room

We had one years ago that attached around the front awning area. Used it one time. Sold it at a yard sale. PIA!

One thing to consider:

How fast can you tear it down when your WX alert receiver tells you a thunderstorm with 60+MPH winds is going to hit you in five minutes.

They *really* add (private) living space to your camper. We didn't set ours up on the PUP unless we were staying at least 3 days.

We have one for our HTT now, but are holding up installing it (have to add mounts to camper walls) until we mod to a longer awning.

We use a Guide Series (Gander Mountain brand) quick popup shelter/screen room, which we now use just about all the time. The fabric is aluminized (silver) on the inside, which really helps reflect the brutal sun.

We put in 2 small plastic folding tables, keep storage containers under the tables, and run an extension cord from the 20a plug on the pedestal to provide separate power to the room.

We use the toaster in the room and have even cooked with the electric skillet in there when it was raining. We added a new (larger) awning mat to our camper this year and moved the old one to the screen room.

If you run a small fan in there, it helps keep the bugs at bay.

It also has 3 solid panels you can roll up or down for privacy, which is something the attached rooms will mostly do, too.

Getting them on/off and bug tight is a pain. Not worth the trouble unless you plan to stay in one location for a long time. Maybe then. Otherwise forget it carry a small free standing screen room.

If you mean the "screen rooms" that attach to the awning, they area lot more trouble than they are worth.

We had one with our Bounder but didn't us it much. It was a pain to zip on the sides forst on than the other then attach the front and last velcro the unit to the coach. We finally just gave up on it.
