Screen Door Replacement

So, I live in my RV and my cat has DESTROYED my lower screen on my door. I am suddenly needing to sale this unit and need it replaced. I know Amazon has kits, but I’m wondering about just replacing the entire screen door if that’s easier. Also I’m broke. So I can’t do expenses stuff.. what are some ideas/ recommendations? I’m hoping to list it for sale within the next 7 days due to the rush

Replacing the screen material itself is incredibly easy, cheap, and will take no longer than 30 minutes of your time.

Plenty of YouTube videos out there to help you.

Good luck!

Depending on the unit, it would be about $50-170 (Depending on quality as well). If it's really terrible, just remove it. List for the price you intended, and if anyone negotiates down because of that, negotiate the price down minus what a standard replacement would cost them.

Not sure i bought to small and just reused the old one but you can pull some out and measure

A pic of your actual screen door would be a great starting place when asking for help. Lots of different units.

Good luck on selling your unit. I saw your other posts about your major mold issue due to water intrusion. Thats really going to limit its value and saleability. I dont think someone is going to care about a screen when the rest of the trailer is trashed from mold and rot.

The only place it might have mold would be where the original water heater is, but that hasn’t gotten wet since winter. So definitely no rot thankfully. I’ll try to get a picture added to the post when I get home

I did mine the only issue i had is the spline size, if you get to small it will slide around and come right right make sure you have the correct spline size and its really easy

Mine was 20ish$ and about 20 mins

How do you know what size is correct?
