I know that one of the gals on here has made her own frames out of wood and Camp Inn offers a neat screen door for their rigs.

Hiker Chic,

Those "skreenz" for the Element are the bomb. A quality product to replace the screening and magnets I currently use when just driving and camping with the Element.

Glueing velcro to screening and attaching it to the carpeted walls on the inside of the Little Guy was suggested.....
The velcro idea works, but after putting up / taking down the screen I think this will eventually wear out the carpeting at the point of contact.
I posted pics on my album.....
I used 1/8" x 3/4" strip metal, cut to length and screwed to wall around door frame.
I found 1/2" wide magnetic strip which I cut to the same length of the metal.
The nylon screening is cut larger for now. I will form a pocket at the top to slide the magnetic strip into. The sides will be folded and glued for neatness and the magnetic strip attached on top of screen. The bottom can be tucked between the mattress and the side of the camper.

Times camped in teardrop = 10
Times camped WITH A/C ON = 8


Days camped in all my rigs in West Coast states and Mexico = 1000+
Days camped with just a fan on = maybe 10
Don't need A/C out here, just gas to get to the mountains or ocean during July and August.

My daughter has a Chalet (A liner style) and has made a screen to fit her door by using velcro around the frame.. It works great and stores so easily. I am planning on doing it on my teardrop.

If you have a 14" sq. roof vent you could buy a RV roof-top a/c heater:

Gotta be cheaper than buying a TAB?

13K BTUs. Wow, you could make ice in a TD with that. :o

TonyJ has one like that.

I added a $99 window unit to my Little Guy. But my galley was custom, too.
