Screened enclosures

[Ed L]

While at Fort Wilderness in Florida last week, we found it to be impossible to sit outside at anytime of the day with the exception of early mornig because of Deer flies.

This has made us think of adding a Tropic Room Screen Enclosure to our Bambi. We have a Zip Dee awning so I called Zip Dee who estimated that the cost for the screened room would be almost $900!

Has anyone added such a thing to their Airstream and, if so, from whom was the enclosure purchased and for what kind of price.

You might try Camping World or Camper's Choice. They don't handle ZipDee, but I have seen patio enclosures in their catalogs.

Attaching a non Zip Dee screened enclosure to a Zip Dee awning will create a headache you really don't want. Other brands will not begin to fit.

The Zip Dee also has a built in compartment at the bottom, that you fill with water. Others don't. They have other features as well.

You have the best awning, stay with the best enclosure.

My wife and I have been real happy with a 13' x 13' screen house/enclosure that we purchased from LL Bean for about 250.00. I know that this does not attach to the Airstream, but it sure makes those buggy days/nites plenty tolerable.

We bought one of the really cheap screen enclosures a Kmart. After going insane and spouting every imaginable profanity in all languages, we returned it. There are about 50 poles that have to be set-up just so, or you end up with a sad looking Hotel West Nile.

The LL Bean job is pricey, but can be set-up in a matter of minutes, with its' convenient shock corded polls.

Good luck.
