From my view you had three choices - zip dee type, trim line or custom canvas.
I had zip dee when I had a trailer just like yours on both sides, front and rear - you can see, or probably have seen my old Globetrotter in the vintage airstream archives. That trailer had this neat rod that attached to the door hold back latch that allowed the screen to be open and you could still open and close the door - hard to explain, I would probably need to show you, but it did work well and the zips dees were very nice.
I had the trim line on the Traveler and it was self supporting with ropes that I would attach to milk cartons filled with water. Only problem is the "bag" scratched the fininsh + did not look very vintage
The third option is the coolest, but the most hassle - canvas that you have to thread threw the awning rail each time you use it, poles, ropes etc. Over the years those who have had such a set up did not feel it was very convient. Course you could also have a canvas awing that rolls up and kept in place with ties. I've got a couple of old old pictures from back in the 50's if you want to go this route
Actually there is a fourth option, which is what you have now - a ez-up type shelter.
I really liked the zip dee on my globetrotter with the pole thingy
