It is a good way to add a screen room to your rv. However, the tension arms are VERY flimsy. Here in Florida when we get a strong wind, they blow right off the mounting points. We duct taped them to the awning support to get them to stay. It is not waterproof either. It reduces rain getting in, but we still get puddles inside the tent when it rains.

Good idea, wish it was sturdier.

Some things to know, I'm using this Carefree product with my 18' Solera Awning. The RV Awning Room weighs over fifty pounds, I would not recommend use it without using the awning support kit (Carefree HD Stabilizer Awning Support Pole Kit - R019399-002). [See supports in attached pics] The Awning Room worked great. I put it up (by myself) in under an hour (I watched a tone of You Tube Videos' prior to purchasing and it went up exactly as expected), I never even looked at the directions. I found its assembly to be very intuitive, however, I am 6'-2" and I still needed a short ladder to install and teardown the RV Awning Room .

The horizontal side sheet support bars hang off of the awning track at the trailer and extend out to the extended awning roller bar/tube, held in place by pressure (like a compression shower rod). The support bars kept sliding off of the awning roller tube so I ended up tying them in place with a foot or two of paracord.

We had two full days of rain with little wind when we were camping and other then some tiny leaks here and there (side of awning and at trailer), no real issues. The upper fabric is very light, much like what you would have with a tent (assume it is so light to minimize the weight hanging off the awning). The windows are a heavier clear plastic and the lower section is a heavy canvas/vinyl material. The plastic windows unzip and roll up from the outside, while the inner tent canvas unzips to roll down on the inside exposing the screen that is sewn in place.

All and all, it worked great and I am very happy we got it. We used it as a mud-room where we could take off our wet shoes and clean up before entering the camper. We also used it as a TV room where we could watch some of the bowl games with other camping friends. It nearly doubles our indoor camping space.

Wish we would have done this sooner because adding a second living area gave us a place for the kids to play. We put two outdoor carpets down to have an easy floor area. No matter what the weather is outside or the time of day, we have a safe space to let the kids do art projects or play with Legos. Great price and not too difficult to install with two people.

Overall, it is durable. Material does keep rain and elements out.
A few pointers to assist in longevity... add extra support to awning arms so weight is not solely on awning fabric. Make a separate support beam to support the rooms beams.

I purchased a Used-Like New version of this and now I am paying for that because the parts needed to customize this to my Freedom Roof Mount awning are missing. Everything else was present and untouched, so it seems that someone bought this to take the parts they needed and left only one set of the 4 options that are detailed in the instructions to customize the sidebars to your particular model.

Now I guess I will try to contact and find the correct parts from Carefree.
