Screening for awnings?

[seniormoment]

Hi All,

I just bought a used motorhome 1984 Itasca. Do they make a screen to attach to the awning? My wife is insisting that we need a screened in tent but i was hoping there might be an addon to the allready existing awning. Also, are screened in tents being used much?


Thanks

When I had a trailer I got a screen room for the awning.After using it a few times I decided a free standing screen room would be better.It is almost impossible to get a bug proof seal at the trailer .When a wind comes up and the awning has to go in it becomes a chore.The only time it was convenient was when my daughter and her husband lived in the trailer while building their house.They had a sheltered site where they could leave the awning and screens up.

At Dicks sporting goods store they sell a Quest awning for $100-$130. It goes up quickly by yourself. You can buy a complete screen enclosure(two piece), a solid 1/2 wall, and a tent enclosure. I have the screen enclosure and when it is windy or raining out, I take down one side of the screen and put up the wall. Keeps everything dry and the wife happy.

Geez...thanks everyone for getting back to me. You have been very helpful. Looks like a great bunch of people belong to IRV2.

I agree with the portable screen room. They are easier to put up and take down. The ones on the awning require a lot of work and snaps on your coach. Never can keep the bugs out. Too many gaps.
