Hello Podders,

Does anyone have any suggestions for a temporary clear plexiglass or similar "cover" that would fit over the screen of the front door?

We have a 2014 RP-178 that we 3-season camp with, and on many cold but bright mornings we want to open the main door but leave the screen door closed to allow the sun to shine in. (with main door closed, it's very dark inside) However, it's just too cold for that!

Later in the day when it warms up, we do want light and fresh air to come in, so the "cover" needs to be easily removable.

Suggestions..?

Thanks "Offgrid"! The link was very informative and many others have solved the screen door woes. Unfortunately I don't have the tools or the skill set to take on such a project. I will however ask local big box stores or screen/window repair shops in the area to see if they can help me out. Thanks again for the great tip/link!

What about something like this: https://www.campingworld.com/screen-door-grille-black-91422.html - https://www.campingworld.com/screen-door-grille-black-91422.html or this: https://www.campingworld.com/lippert-screen-defender-entry-door-screen-protector-fits-30w-door-120300.html?cgid=screen-doors-accessories#start=24&sz=21&cgid=lifestyle%2Fpet%2Ffences-gates-containment%2Fpet-fences-containment - https://www.campingworld.com/lippert-screen-defender-entry-door-screen-protector-fits-30w-door-120300.html?cgid=screen-doors-accessories#start=24&sz=21&cgid=lifestyle%2Fpet%2Ffences-gates-containment%2Fpet-fences-containment ? Both are out of stock currently, but you may be able to find them elsewhere. Amazon apparently does have them in stock.
