Here is a cool little mod that alot of the newer trailers are coming with that makes opening your screen door easy .

I'm a fairly dim bulb and I'm really am trying to figure it out...I need some help...:?

Its a clear plastic sheet that replaces the white slider that most of our screen doors came with . There is a button that you slide down that activates the actual screen door opener so you dont have to slide the cover over to open the screen door from the inside . Very handy and I like this better than the camco piece that could easily break off .

I have seen these on a couple new trailers lately but have yet to determine who makes it and a buddy of mine sent me this pic about 2 hours ago . I had him pick me one up .

This is the kind of screen door slide my unit has. There is a pin sticking out the back side of the round thing you see. The round thing is mounted so it moves up and down. Pushing down it pushes the lever down and opens the screen door. I am not very good at describing how it works but it real good.

Those of y'all that have this...

Does it look like the opening mechanism can be removed WITHOUT damaging it and installing in existing door panel or a piece of plexi?

I made one out of clear .090 lexan with a custom machined polished aluminum knob. Works good but I still am not crazy about the look of the clear panel next to the white panel. I was thinking of sand blasting and painting it flat white.
Update- I removed the other white non moveable panel and replaced it with a clear piece of Lexan also. Looks better now.

I have been looking for a replacement screen door opener exactly like that one. Can you tell me where you saw/purchased that one?? Thanks

I took my handle off. Hate the damn thing. I put one of those old style screen door rollers where the handle was, Left the handle catch in place. The roller rolls over and rests behind the catch. I have a CW/Wally push bar on the screen door, Just a push or pull to open. If we go out I slide the grab handle across the door in case the dog gets too pushy.
They were at Lowes/HD for about 2.00 in the cabinet knob section. They have a small nylon roller and metal base with spring and 2 screw holes.. last about 3 years and then a new one.

I got tired of having to open the little hatch to access the screen door so I tried this.

Looks good!

Oh, I saw this one in an RV store for about $5 and chickened out on making one. It works well.

So well I figured I would never need to open that slider again and siliconed it shut! Dumb. Of course I need to slide it open in order to open the main door when it is closed. I used a utility knife to cut the silicone, being careful not to cut it off - now it is much more bug proof than before.
