Awning / Screen Room

 

Here are some general answers to your questions- I might be off a little but it's close. 

 

1.  Roughly 8 feet wide by 12 feet long, I'd estimate.

2.  No, it doesn't but you can buy a relatively inexpensive mat for the floor.  We bought a  9x12 foot mat and it's slighly too wide and needs to get folded to fit but it's fine on length.

3.  Sort of.  It's insect resistant but there are issues with trying to make it insect-proof.  The curtain that goes along the bottom of the trailer is the main culprit as you either have to cut it to fit around the axle and step or it hangs over both.  Even when cut it's not a perfect seal.  It'll keep the majority of the mosquitoes and flies out though.

4.  Maybe 10 minutes once you get the hang of it.

5.  The bag that it goes in is maybe 4 feet long and is about 8 inches in diameter.  It doesn't weigh that much, maybe 15 pounds?

 

I'd definitely recommend getting it.  It really increases the available floorspace once set up.  Make sure to buy better tent pegs or pins as the ones that come with it are flimsy aluminum.  We've had ours up in all conditions and have only had a problem in high wind as it was really straining in 30 mile an hour winds.  Other than that, we've used it in the summer with the A/C running with the door open and it was noticeably cooler inside the dome.  Others will tell you that this isn't what camping is about but we really like the A/C on a hot day after hiking/biking and don't want to get the small camper all sweaty.
