... sure agree with this Jerry. I also have a rear screen that zips
down the middle for easy access, and using that latch extension for
ventilation while being able to keep the bugs out has been a great
convenience and comfort summer camping. I also use the slider screen,
and the combination of keeping both those openings open or ajar is a
big help for cooling. Awnings help this cooling/circulation too.
