I really want side screens for my camper. I've read the list archives,
searched around. I understand that there are aftermarket screens which
can be locked in place for the non-camper sliding windows, and then
there are improved reproductions for the Westfalia camper slider
windows. In my infinite impatience, I've ordered a late-model
Westfalia sliding door window to put in my 89 non-camper. One
appealing aspect of the Westy window + screen combo is that it's safe
to drive with screen installed, which means I don't need to store
anything.   But now I'd like to know, before I have it installed and
buy a replacement screen for it, which provides more total screen area
(=better airflow):  a lock-in screen for the non-camper slider (opens
50/50) or a reproduction Westfalia screen for that window (which opens
only 30/70 I understand)? I'm trying to decide if I should just stick
with the windows I have because they will end up having better airflow
since they open further.

Any opinions from list members who have seen both types of screens?

I am specifically not interested in the magnetic screens that go on
the windows. It's a storage and style issue for me.

Thanks,

Peter
