I have a Jayco Freedom 14 ft pop top with the standard Carefree Awning. I want to fill in one end for some protection from wind and rain when camping. Does anyone have any ideas / pictures of what they did to assist with a plan that I can give to a local boat canopy maker to assist with our thoughts. The attachment to the awning canvas end and pop top section gap is a bit daunting.

We experienced the wind and sun problems for a couple of years, the decided to get a full set of awning walls (Aussie Traveller through Sar Major Canvas,
Adelaide). Best think since sliced bread. Besides blocking the wind and sun, they stopped the awning flap in wind, provided strength to the awning during strong winds and gave us the flexability to fit from one through to all three walls depending on the situation (comes in with 2 ends and a front wall).
Tried the shadecloth as a front wall, but it was never that good. With large windows we get plenty of ventilation as
well as the extra room it provides.
Cost is based on van size and the options or extras you get. Have a look at this a sit shows how the whole thing comes together:
