I just added a mosquito net to the FWC awning. Got the idea from someone's personal FWC page - they had made a mosquito net enclosure and also a solid privacy addition.
I used an IKEA mosquito net ($20) that is designed to attach to the bottom of a big umbrella. I don't think they sell that particular one online (it is in stores), but there is a similar one online. The net is the right height for the awning, and it comes in two sections. Each section covers from the front center of the awning, around the side to the truck - you don't even need to cut it. Also, it has tabs/ties spaced along the top edge - I just put velcro tabs on those rather than run a full strip of velcro all the way around. With velcro tabs spaced on the top of the awning, it "seals" pretty well along the top.
It's best to use the fuzzy side of the velcro to attach to the mosquito net - the other side catches in it.
Now I just need a single piece of net to run along the truck; this will probably attach to the bottom of the awning or just below it.
The net packs up small and it's easy to put up. It looks really good and your visibility is not affected much. Plus, it lets you avoid packing another tent (shower tent, camping tent, etc.) if you want outdoor living space in bug country.
