Screen room

Hi,
We have a 2011 8265WS Rockwood fifthwheel. We will be spending 3 months up in Yukon Territory and Alaska this coming summer and I'm hoping to find a screen room that will attach to our 10 ft awning.

I have search pretty well everything on line. Any suggestions anyone?

Cheers,

Anders

And you found nothing that suits you? What do you want that $500 won't buy?
For example: Carefree 10'-11' Vacation'r Screen Room - Awnings, Enclosures, Screens & Walls - Outdoor Living - RV Lifestyle
There are several manufacturers who make screen rooms. You have undoubtedly found them, so what is the problem with the rooms you have found? Ease of set up? Material? Quality? Price?

Hi,

Thanks for your response. The problem with most of them are that the side panels are to short. Our unit sits pretty high and awning is attached high.

I am actually waiting to hear back from Carefree of Colorado who supposedly has a room that will accommodate an awning bracket to ground of up to 138 inches.

Just thought maybe someone had bought a specific unit. If the Carefree panels don't work, I guess one can always have them made to fit.

Cheers,
Anders

I have nothing constructive to add regarding your screen room, however I'd like to say you suck and I dislike you because of your upcoming trip.

Jealousy rearing it's ugly head there for a moment. Ignore me.

I was jealous, too, then noticed they live in B.C., Canada. Heck, they're already there (at least from a Virginian's perspective).
Good luck with the screen room and have a great trip.
