Hi Volks,
I said I was having a hatch screen made for my camper. Pix here:
http://groups.msn.com/BobsPhotoShare/hatchscreen.msnw  $53.00
I like the outcome very much. Makes it easy to access the van without
unsnapping the screen. They make tents so all the materials are beefy. It's
border is tent cotton duck so it's more pliable than the naugahyde on the
OEM screen. A by-the-way: I got the OEM screen that BusDepot has and put it
on today. Took me about 2 hours (snaps installation) and fits well. This is
a very good summer ventilation move. Both can be left in place and still
allow access. Cuts down on wear and tear of folding the screens during the
summer.
If anyone wants to order one of these from them and you don't live around
the Salt Lake area, I'll be glad to take mine back to them so they can use
it as a template/pattern. These are the folks that GoWesty contracted with
to make the overhead luggage carrier canvas bags for both Euro's and
Westy's, if you want to check out the quality of their work.
