Your awning should be able to be adjusted for the height. Just like you would adjust your awning to allow rain to flow down to one end, well, you would adjust both sides to achieve your desired height. I purchased a screen last year for my 2014 and I got the 8 ft. screen. It comes in two pieces. The first piece is a 2 ft section that slides into the awning, and it stays there, even when I close the awing. The second piece, is 6 ft and zips to the 2 ft section. Again, I adjusted my awning so that the 2 ft with the zipper is easily accessed to attach the 6 ft piece when I'm camping. Hope that helps.

Awning for 30DS

I believe when the awing is lowered all the way it approx 7ft from the ground at the outside. We just bought this one last month and it works great! Good luck on your search....

I believe the height of your awning (without any pull down adjustment) fully extended from tube to ground is approximately 10 feet. Yes, should have the same accessory tube slot (track) as others have.

Thank you bubbles wanted to make sure before I ordered the screen that really helped my decision between the 8' or 10' drop.

My guesstimate is based upon my coach (2012 GT 378) having the same height (12' with inside height 7' with floor level the same) and awning placement as your coach. My 2 part shade for the awning is a fixed 4' section with a 6' zip on extension.
