Awning tent room for travel trailer without awning



Dear all,

I'm new here to this forum and I hope you can be of some help :).
We bought a 1971 Kit Compagnion travel trailer and we're planning to take it during our roadtrip through the US.
We have 3 small kids and to be able to spend some time outside the trailer, even when it's raining, we are looking for a add on screen room tent thing.
We are originally from the Netherlands and these things are quite common there. I'm looking online to buy something here in the US and I can only find screen rooms that you attach to an already existing awning. Well and there comes the thing, we don't have an awning.
I have attached a picture of what I'm looking for: a decent solid tent that you can attach to an rv/travel trailer, which provides an extra room for living.
Anybody an idea of where I can find something similar?
Thank you so much!

    You may require some extra planning when booking a campsite reservation. Some campgrounds do not allow tent stakes to be driven into the ground as they may put underground utilities like electric, sewer, & water at risk.

    While common in places like Europe and Australia it's doubtful you'd find what you're looking for here in N America where screen rooms / add-a-rooms do use the trailer awning as it's roof. Your best bet is a standalone screen room, especially one of the newer instant popup type such as those by Clam and Gazelle ... not inexpensive but quick to put up and certainly will protect your family from the elements. :B
