Try Foretravel - want a new one for a 2007 Nimbus and was told $1200 plus installation.  ;D

I think I remember reading somewhere but maybe not on this forum, that there is a pull across hidden screen option.  I have seen them in homes on really nice front doors, and on bedroom french doors to patios.  Think like a vertical roller shade system, and an attached top and bottom tracks.

Here is a link to one such system, found on a google search for roller screens.

Thanks for the suggestions I like the possible screen that moves up and down, because the 95 door opening is narrow to begin width.

The newer Foretravels do not have screen doors.
 
Has anyone removed theirs?
 
I am considering removing mine.
 
What do y'all think?

I don't know the downside to a screen door. Here on the west coast in the summer we need all the air we can get in the evening or close up and run air.

We have the Phantom Screens in our Bedroom for the double wide French Doors I just put in.  They are expensive but very good and are actually mentioned on that link of Clearview that Dave gave. They are also one of the 4 they recommend and all of them are made here in BC.
I do not see a need for the Powder Coating but as ours are inside there will be no weather problems. I thought of seeing if they would work for the coach but as the side units that hold the rolled up screen and spring are about 1 3/4" square plus the handle and vertical strip to pull across the opening is another 1 3/4" wide I do not see how it would fit in to the frame around opening without taking nearly 4" of the doorway up. I  arranged our side mouldings so that the first part (tube holding screen) fits into the door framework and does not take up any of the opening. Nice screens and happy. Will price the others in US $ and convert to Cdn and see how we did.

ps. Trent to answer your Question--- I think your nuts!! (in a nice way) Are you never going to an area with the coach that has bugs???

NO WAY.  Without a screen door, when sitting outside on the patio, how can you yell at the DW (or should I say "Politely ask the DW") to bring you another cold beverage?

Trent...

If you remove yours I'll take it off your hands. I've been looking for screen door for our coach for 3 years now. Actually, I did find one but the coach was still attached to it.

Nope. One of the few things we were unable to remedy on our '95 U320 that led to a different coach.
