Thanks to all who sent us advice on sleeping comfort and sliding door bug screens. I have researched the archives and from what I can see -please correct me if I'm wrong- the sreen the Bus Depot sells is a nice one although it isn't going to install in my '85 properly. There was talk about loose fabric, snaps ending up where the seatbelt retractor lives, etc. Apparently there are minor differences between the door openings and configurations that don't allow for an easy installation on some years. I would appreciate anyone that has installed the screen on an '85 giving me some feedback as tp what they found and any good workarounds for problems. As we are coming up on camping season here in the east I want to be ready. Please post to my email address IF this is old hat I don't want to use the bandwidth.
