| We think it would be nice to keep bugs out of our van! Hah. Of course! So if we could find a bug screen for the 2001 Eurovan, we can't figure out how you shut the door in the middle of the night when it gets cold, for instance. Plus, where can we find one? |

I bought a magnetic closure screen door online and hemmed the bottom to make it fit. The screen is velco on the inside along the parameter. This can be left in place and not affect the door operation. The size is 48"x80" I believe.

| Yes, Eurocampers and other places sell them. The only issue I have with the ready made screens are the zipper closure, which is not so convenient if you have to go in and out multiple times. The magnetic closure is much more practical at 25% the cost. |

Are you still happy with the magnetic door screen? Did you use the perimeter velcro to attach it or snaps?

I now leave the screen on all year round. It has performed as expected and no issues. Very happy with the mod. velcroed around the perimeter. |
