<snip>Does anyone make a screen for the sliding door. I believe I could make one but I just don't have the time... Stu Schwartz <snip> Stu, I "made" an effective screen for my Westy using a nice, soft screening fabric rated to foil even the dreaded "no see 'ems"-- it's given two successful winter's service camping in Mexico & is cheap & quick to "make." Here's what you do: From an outdoor equipment store, such as REI, buy a length of fine screen fabric as wide as the slliding door opening & long enough for the bottom to hang about six inches lower than the threshold, which keeps the screen from blowing into the van in a breeze. Don't worry about the little cracks at the top of the sliding curtain--I've never had critters getting in there. Just measure the fabric, cut, & sew it to the bottom of the curtain while it's still in place. You can do this by hand with a needle & thread. Takes just minutes. Cheap, simple, effective. Good luck, Phaedra
