Things you Need to Know About RV Awning Screen Rooms:
These screen rooms take a little while to set up. With most models you will need a Step Ladder
to set them up properly. So you will have to plan extra space in your RV for the ladder. Some models require that you permanently attach some fasteners to your awning. Some models require that you hammer stakes into the ground to hold the room down. So if you are on a cement RV pad, they will not install properly.
The video below will give you a basic idea on how the setup process works.
I hope that this information has been helpful to you.
