possible awning/screenroom

A quality pop up canopy works for us. Have a right side awning but only used it a few times. You can set up and leave and not have to put things back up. All stays dry in the rain.

I have a awning on my camper and called the manufacturer and would not sell me screen in or add-a-room if the appliance vented on the same side just a thought.

We just bring our pop up tent. This was last weekend during baseball Allstar tournament. Had the 9 kids in the RV cooling down with the AC blasting.

Another benefit of the freestanding structure is that if you leave a place for a few hours you have something that keeps your spot for you.

A screen tent or easy up that is not attached to your camper will, although more trouble to set up, be much more versatile. Especially if you use national forest or state campgrounds there are often obstructions where your awning would be. I suppose this might be less of an issue in private campgrounds as they tend to be more open. But having had both screen room and screen tent, I'd go with the tent every time.

We have an awning off the back that is great on keeping the entry dry, but would not make a good screen room. I agree with Tony on using a pop up canopy verses a fixed one off the camper.

And not the front unless you are going to service your engine in the rain. ;)

Put it on whichever side you would use it on most. It's your camper. Just need the uninterrupted length and be aware of the height needed to clear any obstructions like range good vent, fridge vent, Windows, heater vent and hot water heater vent. One option is to mount "c" track awning rail at desired/feasible locations on both sides, get a cabana screen/privacy room type awning and use it either location. It is safer for the awning to transport it on the passenger side due to traffic wind gusts in the driver side. Those work best mounted at 7' from the ground, can be used as an awning only, screen room or full privacy room but require some modifications to work on a TC rather than the pop up campers they were designed for. We put one on a small horse trailer and also had one on a living quarters horse trailer. Opted for standard box awning on TC passenger side and ARB bag awning in the back due to ladder/door placement issues. There again, a modification was needed on the bag awning due to mounting height issue TC vs vehicle roof rack. It works well tho. Bottom line is its your decision so think on it, measure and do your homework before spending any money.

2x...

I would also vote for something like an easy up if you really must have a screen room...
