Welcome here and try using the search function in the forum.
There are a lot of posts about this here and I built one myself from them too.

Have fun

You can also buy all that you need to do it from the Scamp parts store.

scamp screen doors are spendy i stopped there last year, id like to make one also

[81scamp]

I searched for how to make screen door and didnt come up with anything myself i guess unless i missed something

[Ed Harris]

Essentially divide the door opening in half and make 2 frames out of standard window screen framing. Put a hinge between them and mount to a bifold door track on top and/or bottom.

I used a magnet and plate to keep it closed and also had to build a frame to make the doorway opening square to provide a flat place for the door to fold against.

I will try to find a pic of the one I did soon.

Hello Ruth and Jason and welcome to both of you to the forum. I find that when I use the search feature the lower blank labeled goggle search works better for me. I did a search for screen door with quite a few hits. Might give it a try. Take care, Raz

wow that door looks awsome i would really like to attempt to build one like that this summer, thanks alot !!!!

I don't know if it would be an option, but my Escape 17B uses a Mirage Retractable Screen Door. There is a video of how it works on the link.

Doh! All I needed to do was put "screen" into the search area on the Scamp parts site. Poof! There it is. $195.00. There are different doors depending on model.

Well not as bad as i thought i guess, i think im gonna try and make the wooden one like above, i like how the wood looks in the camper, gives it that vintage look

[james kent]

You could look here. There are two article options about screen doors

Tips

[john warren]

well, heres an idea for the woodworkers amongst us.
how about a louvered screen door?
the louvers would give privacy while the screen door is used. and i would imagine wouldn't interupt the air flow very much.

[XL milkjug]

Are you talking about a louvered sort of bi fold like a laundry bifold ? Interesting

This is a 50$ door I did, but you will have to learn to sew.

We will see if it works...When I get my trailer back from shop
Works with magnets on each center seam of the opening and velcro to adhere it to top and sides of entrance. Then... I'm cheap
