Re: Screen room for 2002 Ld 26.5 Reply #2 – June 18, 2018, 11:34:04 am I’ve seen these screen rooms on various RVs and they seem to offer an outdoor space that is relatively bug free. I think that a quick search on that topic will give you some phone numbers to call. In addition one of those free standing screen tents could be a less expensive alternative.
Re: Screen room for 2002 Ld 26.5 Reply #3 – June 18, 2018, 12:18:01 pm I think I read here that folks were having trouble finding the right size screen room for LD awnings. They also can be heavy and expensive.We considered buying rolls of screen and making our own. In the end we went with a freestanding screen - which is handy because you have more placement options. Paired with a few DEET products and one of these...Thermacell...buggy places have been much more palatable...
Re: Screen room for 2002 Ld 26.5 Reply #4 – June 18, 2018, 05:02:12 pm Thank you all, going to go with freestandng for now. Sounds like less hassle, not much storage and can’t find attached one that works with the LD awning. And the Thermacell, great idea !

SusieWhen we had our '83 (Chevy G-30) we purchased cab window screens with solid, curved frames custom made for the purpose - roll down the window, stick the screen up into the slot, and roll the window up until it meets the bottom of the frame. Don't know if they ever made them for the Fords...Steve
