Go to a hardware store and buy a roll of soft flexible window screen with a small enough grid to keep mosquitoes out. Also buy a dozen or so strong magnets. You can cut the screen so it fits OVER the door frame, then you can drape it over the door, close it, use the magnets to hold it in place both inside and out. That way you can open and close your windows w/o the screens getting in the way. You will want to be able to open the windows when it's hot and not have bugs get in. It was 85 degrees at midnight last June when I camped in Denali State Park and the bugs were horrible, the screens really worked. I was able to sleep in my SUV with the windows partly open and not die from the heat.
You can special order a screen for the back door window. I have a big mosquito net that I drape over the whole door when I need to have it open and cook, etc. and it keeps the bugs from getting in. I would also recommend blackout curtains so you can sleep at night.
