Do any of you guys camp in a "B"?
From what I've been reading about "B"'s, most folks them use them for travel. While I would like to get a "B" for us to travel the US, we aslo like to go to campgrounds throughout the summer; usual...

Yes we tend to camp a week or more at a time.
My B has the double rear doors. I used the hook side of Velcro around the door frame (located just inside the closed door) in 2-3 in. lengths. Discovered long lengths tended to contract and make humps. Also had to trim the Velcro's width. Discovered Velcro glue not good in heat. Used Shoe Glue as a additional adhesive.
Netting was bought at the local fabric store and is wide enough to cover the full opening. Had a fancy name but was basically a strong fine black mesh. The netting sticks to the hook Velcro. All I did was roughly trim it to shape. Very compact, easy to store but it can be left in place. Total cost probably about$20-$30.
I haven't tried to do anything with the side door. I did make screens for both front door windows using the same mesh netting and rubber magnetic strips bought at Home Depot. Works great.
