My camper is almost complete and I am coming to an issue I have been delaying for a while... My hehr jalousie windows are all missing the original screens. it looks like they were just rectangular and fit it tne channel in the window frame.
Any ideas on where to get a set. Or better yet a source for the materials to make a set. I have 4 windows that all need them.
Thanks
Tyler

HEHEHEHE... Yeah that guy is talented! I have been doing some research. I THINK I might be able to get the materials at the Lowes or Home depot. I am sure I can make them, just need to find the framing. When I figure it out, let me know if you need a set  . |

I was at Ace Hardware the other day and they have aluminum frame material that can be cut and assembled to custom sizes.

Screens were not damaged...windows are good too.
Probably would prefer a local buyer for those. I would love someone to come get them and take them out. There are a lot of screws to undo!

Mindy the screens I need are the following sizes:
Wide ---- X ---- Tall --------Quantity
22 1/4 ---- X ---- 14 1/2 ---- 1
15 1/2 ---- X ---- 25 ---- 1
20 1/4 ---- X ---- 18 ---- (2 of these)
Let me know what you have, maybe we can work something out. You DEFFINITLY want to salvage items like the windows as well. People always need these for restorations, rain caps, drawer pulls, lights, emblems... any bolt on items.
Speaking of which did it have wings? I am interested in getting damaged sets of wings. I am working on making reproduction sets and damaged wings make great templates. Let me know.

Got my screens done, they came out GREAT. The materials at the Depot really do look and work great. They look like they might have come with the camper Attachments:
