Subject:Re: Carefree of Colorado, add a room

Hi all
Was going to post earlier but no one has mentioned shade maker
awnings, Screen rooms and add a rooms.
These are Bag awnings for Pop top camper trailers. Lots of sizes from
6 foot to like 16. A few years back we were wanting to come up with a
bracket to mount the Bag Awning then you would get screen rooms and
or add a rooms. For the price it was a nice entry level side gig. We
thought of making them but Price blew us out the door.
We still may talk to a Fabricator to make brackets to slide it into a
C channel to hang the bag. Issue is how high it must be. Will do a
bit more research if enough interest.

BTW Much cheaper then a Carefree OR Fiamma
