I would be interested in a little info and more pics!!
Currently we put up a 10x10 awning and attach it to the trailer
for our spare room and really like the additional space, but it is a little light for our 2 and 3 month stays.

I just added sides to my awning. And as you can see, it has large windows with rain flaps.

Great idea

Also looking for some ideas for outside rooms to attach to our "new to us" 19. If anyone else can post which screen rooms they use, it would be appreciated.

I've got an outside room that came from Bus Depot - they cater to the VW camper bus crowd. These are very common fo the European trailers like the Eribas.
The room has roll up sides, screened windows and even has a floor. The downside is that it packs up into a duffel bag sized pacakge.

Although it won't attach directly to your unit, we decided to use a
CLAM 1660 and optional wind/privacy panels (~$310) instead of
ordering a $900 awning for our Scamp 13.

Compared to our old Quest EZ-Up, the setup and takedown are amazingly
quick and can be done by one person.

The CLAM 1660 screen room/tent is in a fairly long bag that usually
travels on a pad laying on the front sofa or else in our tow vehicle.
It now appears that clamoutdoors.com also has a similar unit in
brown & beige instead of the green.



CLAM 1660 Mag Screen Tent – Amazon.com
CLAM 1660 Mag Screen Tent Wind Panels – Amazon.com

Here is the newer brown/beige version:

CLAM Quick-Set Escape

Your needs/wants/constraints may be different than ours and, as always,
YMMV.

Good luck on your search!

Ray

We just put an order in for one today. They were out of stock for the Beige so we ordered the green + the 3 panels. I like the fact that it is all in one, easy-up easy-down. We did not order the $900 side canopy offered by scamp. This way at least we are at the least some what protected from the wet, bugs and sun. Carl

Hey gage, where did you get your awning and sides? It looks like just what I need for my Boler.

Marti's Awnings at Marti's Vintage Trailer Awnings made it up for me. The sides also zip together so you can hang one side or both or none. I believe it all cost less that $900.

Looks good. You really got that kick back relax thing down, in your photo. Probably took years to perfect. regards, Carl

With my setup, I can walk in and out of my trailer in the pouring down rain and not get a drop on me. Oh, and it only takes my wife 10 minutes to set the whole thing up (the awning plus two sides).

We sure love ours! I can also attest to their resilience in a strong wind. If you've got it staked down, it does not move!

I was concerned about the design in the wind or heavy rain. Some of you that have one, confirmed it was no issue. I guess once mine gets here (it is still in transit), I can find out for myself.

Jim, we got caught in a terrible wind and rain storm last July 4th camping near Whiteface Mountain in the Adirondacks. I got up in the a.m. to find our Gander Mountain canvas had stayed in place, and the Clam never moved. There were tents and canopies all over that had blown down or over.

These Clams are truly ingenious.

My DW and I returned home this morning and my 1660 I ordered was waiting for me. So wanted to see if it could be put up in 45 seconds like they say. Never put one up before and having seen the video I was ready to try once I got it out of the box. READY..... Go! Easily 30 seconds and it was up not counting the side door poles. Wow! I Love it. Ok now they say it goes back in the bag just as easy right? Here we go! Bam! Right back in the bag just as easy. I will never buy another brand again. If this one wears out I will order another. Ted
