Now that it is fall and bug season, I decided it was time for another improvement to the van camper. I have had a magnetic opening screen on my side doors for a couple of years now. I decided to add one to the back door too. I used a single door magnetic screen but had my wife sew it together after removing the magnets so it was all one piece. Then I installed it sideways with Velcro on the top and the sides. I just tucked the extra in under the van bed mattress to keep my "basement" area accessible. To make the bed or for other access to the top area, it can simply be lifted up from the bottom or removed completely due to the Velcro attachment method. Now, no more bugs in the main part of the van when I open the back doors to access my tools and other things stored in my "basement" area. The nice thing about my DIY van camper is that it is never done. There is always room for improvement, and I will continue as long as I am able.
