Gumpy,

    About a year ago there was a post about screen doors with a link for a retractable screen door.

   Sorry that is all I remember maybe some heavey duty searching will find it again.

Hey, I saw Brian's door today in person. It really doesn't look too bad. Certainly not what I was afraid it was going to look like! It's a nice, robust door with a big window and he incorporated it into the profile of the bus very well. The guy needs to add a couple pieces of trim to clean it up, but I think it's going to be a very functional unit. I like the screen door aspect of it, too. Wish I could figure out a way to incorporate a screen door in mine!

My friends actually want me to remove the screen door and I am inclined to do so for this year.  The little latch that is supposed to hold the screen door to the main door needs work so it rattles going down the road.  That same latch is supposed to hold the screen door closed when using only the screen door.  We're headed out to the desert this fall and there are no bugs plus the main door is kept closed most often due to dust.

I intend to have the screen door working for trips next year where a screen door will be nice to have if not too hot.

I'm going to suggest instead of a latch, that you take a look at some stick on magnetic tape. Not sure you have steel behind the screen door, but if you do, you could apply the magnetic tape to the entire length of the screen door, and it would hold it nice and tight to the frame when closed.
I used some of this on my battery box door. Works great.

A nice Black window treatment paint job will hide that door/window well and all but a bus enthusiast will never know

Hey Brian,

I must say, when I first heard you talking about this, I was very skeptical.  Now, seeing it completed, it looks great.  You should be proud of the way it looks. 

You can now truly say, "there's not another one in the world like this!"

I have two RV doors on my transit- the one in front has two windows,  the lower one with a fresnal lens to see cars-highly suggest you cut the extra window in at the bottom-has saved my butt from turning into a car more times than I can count.  After the bus was painted, you could hardly tell they were RV doors.  Good Luck, TomC
