Has anyone fashioned a curtain for the inside of the screen door, and if so, care to share how you did it? I could probably come up with something, but you may have a better, smarter idea.

I quickly discovered with my new Fleet that there is no way to lower or raise the curtain for the window in the door from inside the camper, with the screen door option, without opening the door and unlatching the screen door first.

Bill I removed the curtain from the door and made a roll up one that fits on the screen frame.I think there is a photo of that in my posts.If not let me know I'll post one on this thread.

Frank, I found a post where you describe your new curtain (Clear Screen Slider thread), but there wasn't a photo there. Kitchen towels and dowels? I don't know if the Fleet screen door and the Bobcat are similar enough for your scheme to work without seeing it. Thanks.Bill I removed the curtain from the door and made a roll up one that fits on the screen frame.I think there is a photo of that in my posts.If not let me know I'll post one on this thread.

Otherwise I have placed self sticking velcro tabs on the screen door and had matching squares sewn into a dishtowel. Always try to have everything handle more than one task.

I do not remove the screen door. I do have velcro (hook side) on the top of the door frame. I have a towel with the fuzzy side of the velcro sewn to it. The towel covers the door and can be moved to the side to go in and out. It is also a towel if you need one.

The bottom line here is a simple mod. The dish towel hung on the screen door frame however you can.
Hope this helps you.

I also like the velcro idea.Didn't think of it at the time.Great idea though.Thanks for taking the time to post the photos, Frank. My screen door has a much narrower frame. That, combined with my laziness, makes me think using the velcro like Hittheroad and billharr have suggested may be the way to go.
Thanks for your input, guys!
I just don't understand why the factories(FWC/ATC)place a curtain on the door when there is a screen door.Why don't they come up with the curtain on the screen door from the start.
Also something else that bugs me is the "black" plastic slide,WHY can't they just make the standard one the clear one and not an option.
Oh well enough of my opinions.
