Emergency window

[66joej]

As my signature indicates we have a 24' TT with 5 yes 5 emergency exits (2 doors and 3 windows). Wonder if anyone has figured out a way to put a screen on one of the windows so we can get some air through the TT. It has the 2 - 1/4 turn handles for opening. I thought of doing a "Mickey Mouse" fix using velcro and regular door screen. Hopefully someone has a better suggestion. Also thought of replacing the window with a regular slider. Thanks in advance.

A photo would help. All 3 of our escape windows are the tilt out type and they all have screens held in place by spring clips and can be quickly removed.

All of our emergency windows have screens on them. I'm surprised that none of yours do ???? You might want to get the model number and part number of your window and compare to those available from Lippert (Kinrow windows) and Trekwood. I'd suspect that you'll find screens available that just "snap in place" on your existing windows.

Alternatively, have you considered a local window company? Many of them can "custom build" screens for almost any window. They might need to do some experimenting to get it "just right" but all of the supplies and equipment needed to build RV screens is the same as those needed to make a "house window screen".....

^^Thanks guys. Tried to take a few pictures but all that shows up is the lawn outside through the window. Will check the 2 suppliers as John said also going to contact a Keystone dealer. TT was bought new by an elderly couple who never used it because it was too small so they upgraded to an Outdoors RV Blackstone. Called the Outdoors RV dealer we bought it from but it was so long ago he can't remember if the techs removed the screens to check the operation of the exits and forgot to replace them. Will let you know how I make out.

Turn your flash on and you'll get the pic right. I too am surprised that you don't have screens. On mine there a red tab that you pull on the screen, open the window and bail!
These are an easy order and your dealer should have them in stock. The dealer at home has hoards of them in all different sizes.

Is it a 36" x 22"? This is one from Trekwood. They sure are proud of those things. Do you know of any trailer salvage yards near you? Maybe they would have some. The dealer may have some laying around the shop. Our 2013 xlite came with screens on all the exit windows except the one over the couch.

Which style of emergency exit are they? If they have a flat rod that clips under a tab, then yes those have screens. If it has the two red clip latches at the bottom, those don't have a screen.

I have the same model and year. It came with screens on the e windows.

chuckster57 We have the ones with the 2 red latches. Talked to 3 different Keystone dealers on the phone and they all told me the same thing. Thanks.

HI Ken As noted above the dealers I talked to on the phone after giving them my VIN told me screens were not available for TTs sold in Canada. Apparently we Canadians don't know how to remove a screen to access the emergency window.

Aaaaa, that's frustrating. Can they be ordered in the states and shipped in? I'm not very bright when it comes to moving contraband across the border [emoji61] but it can't be that hard. Or is it? Good luck.

Thanks Chip. Already on it. Will have them shipped to Danville WA. I have a daughter in Grand Forks BC. She always has stuff shipped there for her Dollar Store. It's a border town. Will let the forum know how I make out.

I guess I better hurry before NAFTA goes down the toilet!

Steve. Thanks called dealers in Abbotsford and Kamloops. Both said they can't supply screens for that type of window.

Did you try Fraser RV? They have hundreds of screens but probably too lazy too go measure.
They're not to good at driving either.
Glad that you found some though.
