Also, for anyone that has the dreaded "rolling weatherstripping" that turns inside and jams the screen door...
I fixed mine last weekend. Kept the original weatherstripping as my first thought was to just replace it, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
What I ended up doing was actually pretty simple. I bought some good, old-fashioned contact cement. The kind you brush on to both things to be glued, let sit for 20mins, then press them together? I brushed about 3" on the door frame and then on the weather stripping that had "rolled" in, went up the frame about 6" and did the same thing again. Went inside, had an ice-cold refreshing adult beverage (required by MOST camper projects), then came out and pushed the weatherstripping onto the frame. I closed the door and left for the week. Came down last night, opened the door, and the weatherstripping is right where it should be.
