add on screen rooms
looking to put carefree room on my bighorn fifth wheel awning. Has anyone done this and what type did you use Buena Vista or Vactioner from carefree.

I have a travel trailer but I thought I would offer my opinion.
I have a Dometic power awning that has the ability to tilt on either side or both. I bought the Carefree Vacation'r and it works great with my power awning. Storms have not been a concern for me because it actually helps secure the awning down. The awning can still "auto dump" in the rain if needed.
I also built a sliding screen door to replace the zip up screen door. You just pull the screen from the magnetic latch and it rolls to the side like a window shade. I made it out of a couple 2x3's and the roll up screen.
I only use the awning room for longer trips due to my 20-30 minute set up time. I typically use an easy-up with a screen kit for a shorter 2 or 3 day trip.
