RVer Screens Out Unwanted Pests

RVer Art Braa tows a 41 foot KZ toy-hauler behind his Freightliner FLD 20. When he’s relaxing he likes to open up his toy-hauler garage door and enjoy the of the Arizona desert. As the occasional flying insect happens by he is denied access to the living quarters because of a roll-down screen door. This screen door is made from common charcoal fiberglass insect screening for doors, windows and porches (available at any hardware store). Just cut a strip that will cover your door and sew a cloth boarder around the outside. You could also use sun shade material for this project. Staple a couple of hook and latch strips over the door and fasten the screen over the doorway with staples or screws. When you don’t need it just roll it up and secure it with the hook and latch strips. Art just lets his screen door hang in place but says you could also put some hook and latch on the screen and the door frame in the middle and the bottom to make it fit snug against the door frame. Some toy-haulers come with a roll-up screen that covers the entire garage door. Helping you stay bug free with a "no fly zone" - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing.
