Screens

New to us rig is missing some screens and the frames on some that we do have are wobbly.

Where can you get new screens when you don't have a frame? I've seen some kits but they seem iffy. Thanks!
  • Yes, if the frame is still good most good screener could rescreen it as long as the frame is in good condition.

    If all else fails there are RV Junkyards.. One (or more) may have one (or more) of your exact make and model, screens and all.

    If you have a frame but the screen is shot.. Any decent hardware.

    Side note... On one of my Electronics cabinets I felt the need for SERIOUS inprovements in air circulation.. Now the back I was able to open up with my hole saw. but the front was plexi (plastic glass) .. It's now black Window Screen.. A decent hardware.. one of these days the other one will match it.. Really like the way it turned out.
  • Our windows say Hehr right on them. Try looking for a brand name on the windows.
  • Well Bzeitham...you saved me money at Home Depot buying a kit. Duh...all of the ones I need to replace have rounded corners. I should have seen that. Thanks.
  • Being a retired hardware owner and screen maker, yes, any screen that has straight sides and square corners can be made by anyone that has the patience. But, if there are curved corners or frames, that's an entirely different story.
  • Thanks all. Don, Google of Hehr opened up a lot of options. Never heard of those. I've asked Fleetwood who made ours. I'll check local shops also because I'm not very talented on re-screening so I'm sure I'd mess up the frames. Didn't know they did screens.
  • Home depot screen kits and make your own. I make screens for homes all the time. Easy peasy

    Pretty much any local window company or repair company that you'd use for a home window should be able custom fit and manufacture window screens for the RV using same or even better materials.
  • Your best bet, contact the mfg and try to find out who made the windows, then contact them to see if parts are available. Likely Heir windows, but could be others.
