What a novel concept!!! Other screens on the market never made sense to us: how do you keep bugs out of your rig when you have to leave the door wide open to either put on or take off the screens, especially in the evening, when the mosquitos are hangry. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♂️

What's So Special About These Screens?
No more "open house" for bugs when you arrive at your destination, leave the doors open, close up and settle in for the night, etc.
Nothing is worse than having flies, mosquitos, moths, etc. in your rig, right? It's thee worst when someone (can we say 1derGirl?) is highly allergic to mosquito bites, or when anyone gets bit / eaten up or annoyed by bugs.
There are many screens already on the market. So what makes our different? Let us count the ways...
No worries! For the side doors, simply unzip the sides, roll 'em up and lash to the top. Note: rear screens do not roll up as it’s easy to push them out of the way.
Added benefit: no need to find a place to store them when not in use. When you want to engage them, simply unroll and zip 'em back down.
The screens are designed to fit super snug in the door frames. They feature a split, large overlapping middle, enabling you to quickly and easily enter or exit, or reach in and grab something. It's all hand's free, baby!
The screens also accommodate window trims and door galleys (need to partially unzip size), and they can be used and left in place even when the doors are closed!
The frame of the screens is made from brand new, cut-off material used to make Colorado Camper Van (CCV) PopTops. Normally, this cut-off material is discarded in the trash. It's really nice and extremely high-quality, so we're rescuing it from the landfill and using it for the screens.
Every screen we've seen needs to be trashed if there is a hole. Not ours! Simply detach the mesh from the frame and press on the replacement (see images). Easy peasy.
Our screens feature excellent quality, industry-standard fiberglass mesh made from glass yarns coated with a protective vinyl for durability, flexibility, and to reduce rust, corrosion, and staining.
Heading to "no-see-um" land? No problem!
Select from:
- 18 x 14 weave mesh. This mesh size is used for screen doors and uses a larger-diameter fiber, which means it's stronger, more durable, and spans larger openings than window screen mesh.
- 20 x 20 tightly woven "no-see-um" mesh. Do note 20x20 mesh reduces air circulation and light.

*** Important Notes ***
- Because of the nature of the fabric, there are puckers along the stitch lines, which you can clearly see in the photos. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided.
- If you are purchasing the rear screens, in the comments during checkout, please be sure to describe the interior configuration so we can tailor the installation kit to your needs.
You may be thinking, "Wow, these are expensive!" Please know they are priced very reasonably based on how expensive and labor intensive it is to make them, as well as everything related to designing, producing, and bringing this very unique solution to you and the van community.
You can certainly get waaaay cheaper screens, but there truly are no comparisons (at least from what we have seen) with regards to construction, quality, functionality, and sustainability. These screens are designed and made with materials to withstand wear and tear in a variety of environments, and last for years and years. If the mesh gets a hole, no problem; the removable mesh panels can be easily and reasonably replaced without trashing the frame.
We strongly encourage you to compare our screens to the competition. Of course, IOHO, there is no comparison. You be the judge.
