Adding a screen with Velcro to Scamp awning?

I have ordered a 13' Scamp with awning. I have a Caravan canopy with extra walls, both screen and solid. I am wondering if I can use Velcro to attach my screens to the awning? The main question is, WILL THE AWNING RETRACT INTO THE HOLDER WITH VELCRO STRIPS ATTACHED?

Sounds doable if it will retract ok.

Fiamma Screen room

The Fiamma arms do not come to the end of side of the awning. Attached is a video of the Hwd. and Fiamma Awning. Most Fiammia videos have no audio. The Clam Screen room is your best bet.

Eddie, thanks for the link. I had seen one similar. Seems well made and I estimate a bit of weight. Based on the video, it looks like velcro strips attached to the edges of the awning would not hinder the rooling of the awning into the holder attached to the Scamp.

Velcro Strips

I don't think it will work. The velcro strips would add bulk to the awing edges and increase the diameter of the roll inside the housing. There is not much extra room to accommodate the extra dia.
