Screen wall options

Anyone install a screen wall from Amazon? I have tried to get one from the Dealer, from Forest River, and from another RV Dealer and the lack of assistance is intolerable. I also contacted Top Stitch, they said they would get back to me with pricing, over a week ago. I have decided to simply buy one off Amazon, they are also cheaper. The reviews look good but, nothing on youtube, nothing in forums (that I can find through the search). I would think this to be a popular topic.....

    That's a deep pull. I'm friends with Al on Facebook, but I haven't seen him online here in years.


    lol, it is

  • I bought one from Stoett about 8 years ago for my last trailer. They were very helpful. Give them a call.

    waiting to hear the answer to this.


    It's a screen that covers the back opening in a toy hauler. Usually a pull down type screen.

    This doesn't exactly answer your question, but I initially had bad luck when I called the factory for our hauler, but once I asked them for the name & number of their approved parts dealer things improved right away. I've had great luck with our parts dealer and even visited them in Elkhart when I was back there and needed to replace a fender.

    As far as Amazon goes though, I'd be nervous about buying something like this from them. It won't be an Amazon item, so you might have trouble with returns if the screen doesn't fit.

    The screen wall is a great thing to have though. We only use ours 2-3 times a year, but it's fantastic when we use it. Just make sure it always retracts all the way up before you drive any tall toys into the garage. Also, if your ramp has mounts for the patio rails, the mounts will destroy the screen if it's even down by an inch or so.

    Good luck!
