Adding room outside…

by Jess on March 16, 2010 · 2 comments


When we are full timing in the RV…. we need extra room for the kids to go to. Somewhere in the shade.. but not really out in the weather. Somewhere that has a table and some space for them to do their thing, give us all a little breathing room.

We decided to provide this extra space, we need a Β reliable shelter/canopy set up. Here is a picture of one at Walmart.com, that is under $150 and has received some great reviews!

Coleman Max 10' x 10' Instant Shelter Canopy

When we make our decision and ultimately our purchase we will do a practice run to make sure it will fit what we need it to fit. It will be set up outside the coach doors and will have a pic nic table in it, as well as our little ones toy box and play kitchen set. There will also be some lighting for when we are enjoying the night air.

Another pro to this is the protection from the mosquitoes! Last year.. we were eaten alive every night! Those bugs were the size of dragon flies by the time they moved on from our family! lol….

This particular product shown has privacy screening, which we really like for sun screening depending on the weather. Here in Arizona it’s not always just about being hot. It can get cold.. and it does get really windy!

Will keep you posted on what we decide to get, the specs and how it works out!

Since screenrooms for popups are frightfully expensive, I also purchased a 10 x 10 shelter plus netting. goes over picnic tables and food prep area. As netting does not keep out all the insects, I suggest you put lights outside, and let the light shine into the shelter. I wish someone made a shelter with one side eight feet high so I could attach it to my Gettysburg.

You mentioned being eaten alive by mosquitoes.   I too had that problem until I found “B12″   I now take B complex and the buggies leave me alone totally..
