The door screen project is on hold as we were cleaning up after Sandy last fall. Hopefully will get to it sometime this year....
We have the porthole window but are seriously considering the door window as we really want some airflow up front. Will keep you posted

Would love to see a picture of the mod if/when it's been done! I have a 152 as well and thought about the idea of putting a portal window up front by the bunk beds.

I had thought of that too but the size of the window with screen would show both the plastic latch-slider at the top and the bottom plastic kick-panel. Plus the bottom panel being solid would block airflow. Even if I made a screen for the kickpanel, it would still be ugly from the outside and be awkward to close/open from the inside.
Of course I could try and make an entire screen door from scratch, but I think Greg would really hit the roof then.... There are the accordion-style folding ones, but they are very $$$.

What about porthole on top and square one on the bottom? Visually that might be ok.

I just had another look at the screen door and think I can remove the current screen (i.e. leaving a screenless hole) and then sewing a new screen that would attach to the frame by velcro. I am just hoping that the adhesive on the velcro part will stay glued to the frame on a hot summer day.
I also just received the porthole window I had ordered earlier.... I'd ideally like to install the porthole on the bottom half of the door (in addition to having the vertical open/close window on the top half) so my dog can also look out when we have the door closed in the colder months and are setting up and not ready to have her outside with us yet. However, this will probably look really weird. |

Just saw these "Magic Mesh" screens at WalMart, if anyone wants to give it a try.

could you take off the screen door and use "As Seen On TV Magic Mesh" in its place? Then you could adjust the Window.

I just noticed that this window does not have a screen. I guess it really doesn't need one since there is a screen door between it and the interior.
Now I am wondering if dutch/stable screen doors are available? Because having to exit the 'pod to separate the screen door from the actual door to get to the window to open/close it in the middle of the night would get old quick. |

Theoretically, yes. But then they could pry open any window and climb in if they wanted to.
