  • In this video, we will be showing you how we installed our insect screens on the back and sliding door of our DIY Campervan conversion.
    For this install, we used The Bug Wall screens for our slider door and our back doors (garage). These screens make it easy to access the lower part of our garage while keeping our sleeping area bug free. These campervan insect screens were a great addition to our camper van as we wrap up our build series.

    This bug screen has so many useful features. That's great and you guys did a very neat install.

      Honestly, we didn't know it had all of those additional features before we started installing it. I think my favorite feature is covering up the janky wall edges I attempted. 🤣😂 Thanks for watching!

    Bug Wall is the BEST! Duke resolved a minor issue I had a couple of years ago in an elegant way! He answered the phone, came up with a solution and delivered! Great product. Great service!

    We love our Bug Wall! We added rare earth magnets at the bottom to keep out nosy raccoons.

    thanks for including your thought process on how deep into "DIY" you want to go...."bug netting" is so temptingly simple at first thoughts....laughed at how wrong I was after watching your vid.

    Good screens are game changers. You'll love them. Had not heard of Bugwall. We went with Rolef and could not be happier,

    Are there any magnets along the bottom of the screen on the side door to keep bugs from getting under it? It seems like they added extra measures for this scenario on the back so I was surprised not to hear anything mentioned for the side.

    I have watched many of your videos, especially those on the electric system and solar panels. I learned so much. Your were my life line. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I finished my build a year ago and I am planning a trip to Newfoundland and Alaska this summer. Yes, there bugs up there (many), so I am in the market for screens for my van. My side door entrance is similar to yours and I noticed your screen entrance is offset. Would you do any changes to the side entrance screens? do the magnets consistently seal off the entrance or would you have preferred zippers? did the mesh ever come out from under the weather stripping?

      We lived on the road in our camper for nearly 5 years a few years back. Our life priorities have changed a bit (like running this channel full-time) and now we live in an area where we have near endless recreation opportunities right out of our back door; but we still get out when we can/want.
