Anybody have experience with zip on screen room for 6.0? Approx cost, any chance of picking up a used one? Are they hard to put up?  Worth the costeffort vs a stand alone?

Thanks...springs coming!!!

I don't have one now, but in the past found an 8 foot one to be too small.  It got cluttered real fast.  We found it better to invest in a larger stand alone model.  Many of them have two entries, so you can set it up right in front of your door.

And it's a lot cheaper.  I'm not sure what the LL one costs, but they want $250 for just the awning without screens.

You can buy an 8X10 stand alone for half that.  Just look for one with vertical walls.  Most of what is out there today have a pyramid or A frame shape that offers very little sun or rain protection.

I have a pretty definite answer - emailed em a few weeks ago about a new tent to replace on my 10.0 in case i ever need it. (might pick one up in a year or two to have one handy)

The cost for the screen room is 664.63
And the tent is 661.40
 
There is a 3 wk. lead time on all tent orders  however.

I'm on my first camping trip with my Quicksilver 8.0 and would appreciate instructions on attaching the awning.  Now that the tent is up the zippers are too high to reach and I can't quite figure out how to attach it while the tent is down and still be able to fold out the Bimini.  Help sincerely appreciated!
