Outdoor mosquito net?
It's that time of the year again ... mosquito season! We love sitting outside our truck camper in the evenings but hate the bugs. We have very limited storage space in our truck and truck camp...

Hey Jorn - I did what you asked about - bought about 30 feet of 6 foot tall screening from an army/navy store for the awning on my van when we went to Alaska. Simply secured it to the edges of the awning with mini spring clips that I got at Home Depot. Worked "OK"... The 6 foot high screening left a gap at the bottom along the sides,since the awning was about 6.5 feet above ground level, plus it was open under the camper along that 4th side. I simply used some magnets to hold it against the sides of the van. Could have modified it by sewing either more screening to the bottom or some other material to make it longer. Went up quick, but wasn't bug-proof by any means, but it certainly helped keep them at bay. Ended up buying a freestanding screen room about 10 x 10 foot at an end-of-season sale - takes up more storage room but benefit is more bug-proof, and I can leave it set up on site when I take the van to go sightseeing, etc., Hope this helps!
