Subject:Making an add-a-room for an EVC
From:Trevor Cradduck

We own a '97 EVC which has a Sidewinder II (8 foot) awning. We are
interested in adding "walls" or screening in order to make an add-a-room.
Has anyone tackled this job? Did you decide on full "walls" or just bug
screening, or, perhaps, some combination of the two? We are not seeking
privacy, merely a bug free area to enjoy our meals!
We imagine that the "room" could be made up in three pieces each of which
would attach to the support arms and cross bar using Velcro and with
fasteners of some sort at the two corners formed by the upright supports.
Presumably we would be wise to ensure there is a "hem" that tucks under at
the floor and can be weighted or pegged down.
We do have access to a sewing machine and this appears to be a fairly
simple sewing task.
If anyone has some experience in designing and producing such a "room" we
would welcome your input before we invest in X metres of material and
Velcro tape to "experiment".
Many thanks -

Vinnie '97 EVC
