My wife had got me this screen for the door. It seems like it will work until a friend walked thru it and ripped it. I wasn't done setting it up, so it will have to go back to wal-mart for an exchange. it was rather windy and blew open but in calmer winds should keep most skeeters out.

That's the kind I put on my camper from Walmart.
If you don't put the tops up too tight and have the sides pulled snug, there's enough magnet strength to keep the screen closed.

, well the first trip with the kids and wife went well. The wife was really happy with all the work I have done. the girls really liked the camp potty. We call it dirty camping, power but no popper. 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat in the woods. Definitely need a porch light, windows, maybe a different bed to fold up on the wall. I have a futon I was thinking about sacrificing. The bunks work out well. The while setup only takea a beer. :D

Finally got some windows put in the trailer! Just in time for this weekend of fourwheeling. Should help with the heat this weekend. I went small to avoid cutting the studs as I don't have a tig welder.

Where'd you get the windows, and how much, if you don't mind me asking? :)

I got the windows from aluma. I went with 15x18 windows so I would not have to cut the studs. I was having a hard time finding what I wanted so I went to them since they use them for the same reason. I was a big improvement and very happy with the results.

dayoday I will be making my futon into a murphy (tophy) bed. Wifes family calls me topher. I have about 4 hours after work to get some welding done without the wife and kids around. It's kind of hard to get things accomplished when you work every day. We are going atving again in 2 weeks and need space for the father in law. So I am making a bunk above this bed as well with some e- track and plywood and an air mattress. I will post some picture soon of how it turns out. I borrowed the hinge design from another toy hauler guy on here and have those premade ready to go.

I was able to finish my topher bed. It turned out really nice. Today after work I will get some e-track to finish the bumbling the back. I always have fun doing metal fan. That is my favorite. Here are a couple of pics however I didn't take any before painting it.

We had smoother great weekend of camping and cartwheeling. I took a picture of the sleeping set up to see the sleeping arrangement. We slept 5 in here.
