Hi Guys. I have on my '99 F250 a 3003 SunLite 8.5' pop-up type camper. My camper has a toilet but no shower or water heater. I do have a cold water outside shower but my days of using one of those are long past.

I have become somewhat enamored of the Palomino 'Backpack' pop up campers & the only fault I can find with the way they're built is none of 'em have a screen door. Where I live in the south, a screen is definitely needed when enjoying the evenings. My 'cheapie' SunLite has a factory screen door so why shouldn't something that costs a much as the Palomino. Neither does the Starcraft pop-up truck campers as far as I can tell.

I've searched the internet as best I'm able & have not been able to find a source for a Palomino screen door. The Palomino full sized solid wall campers do have screen doors as far as I've been able to determine.

Any Palomino pop-up truck camper owners here who've confronted this problem (if it is indeed a problem). I've no idea what size the Palominos would require, A man could probably have one custom built but it may not be worth the cost. The screen door on my SunLite is 22"X51 1/4" & has the top frame radiussed some 2-3" or so, Maybe as much as 4"??

Any ideas?

Something I've pondered myself. Closest I can come to a match is a Four Wheel Camper screen door, but I have to say that even though I don't have one (screen door), I rarely miss it as the upper tent screen is right above the door ans opens all the way across.

LCI makes the Palomino entry door but dealing with LGI is like pulling teeth.

I bought a CareFree bag awning for the supplied awning rail and I deploy the awning and sit under that (with a Coleman lantern hanging from one of the stays and it attracting the bugs). I'd like a screen door if I could find one as well, but it's not a deal breaker for me.
