Laredo - Thank you for finding that - it's what we had on our Pod, and we're excited!
Edit: Won't fit our door. Darn.

I had previously found the one's that JRTJH had posted, but the ones you showed were exactly what I was looking for. Not only do they allow you to open the door without opening the slide, they are so much more substantial and solid feeling. While that seems odd to say, the white plastic sliders in our RV seem to at least once or twice a trip in nice weather, they seem to jam, come out, pop out, --- well you all know!!!!

Too big or too small? If they are too big, they can be cut down pretty easily.
Can't help much if they are too small.

That type with the knob came on our 2012 Laredo, the only problem we have is there is no place to hook your fingers on. If you try to close the door and the wind is blowing it tends to blow open on you.

Just ordered the new Clear Slider
Ordered the new clear slider from Amazon today. They said it would take 2-4 weeks for delivery. Guess it will make it before April 1? I had looked at the amazon site earlier, but didn't know what to look for in a search, so again thanks to Laredo.
http://www.amazon.com/Lippert-Compon.../dp/B00JMHGUZ6
Actually ordering the part direct from Lippert is cheaper, @ $24.03, but shipping is $15.50, so total price of $39.53. Amazon has it for $36, even, and I get free shipping so in the end it works out cheaper. Assume both need to include tax now, plus I ordered some other stuff too. I'll post a follow up when I install it.

Please let us know how it fits. It appeared too small for ours, but maybe our measurements are off.

I saw one at the RV show last weekend. That was the highlight of what could only be described as a lackluster show.

I tried a couple of different setups, and so far, this one is working the best. I installed two strong magnets on the screen door frame and removed the latch catch on the trailer frame. I had to epoxy glue a metal piece to the aluminum frame so the magnets will stick. The door can be easily opened and closed without using the latch or opening the door slide. Screen door still latches to trailer door normally.

Metal strip glued to frame.
(Didn't let the paint dry before testing it)

Lippert Screen Door Slider - Doesn't work
As I posted about earlier, I ordered and got the Lippert clear plastic screen door slider. It came in, and I tried to see if fit - No luck. The size of the slider is approximately 12 x 9 3/4", but more importantly, the orientation of the slider is the 12" side is to be the horizontal side, with the 9 3/4" to be the vertical side, and the knob is to be placed in the lower right had corner when your inside of your RV. I've attached a picture of the slider with measurements and knob direction of action which I added.
My RV, the Cougar has the opening close to the mentioned size, but rotated 90 degrees from the expected orientation. And the screen door release handle is located what would be the upper right hand corner of the opening. Oddly, the replacement slider fits - very tight, which I could fix by a little trimming, but the problem of the orientation of the knob operation not moving to release the latch still remains. In the rotated position it would almost work, with the exception of the direction the knob slides.
My bad on the assumption that all RV door sliders are the same, and the latches are in somewhat the same position. On our 5ver, the exterior door handle and lock are located close to the bottom of the opening, and screen door latch is on top. This slider is based on the the reverse of this layout.
Personally, I still like the clear plastic slider option, and figured I would relplace the other solid panel with clear plastic, but will now have to make this my self. Actually, when I looked at this, $35 is very pricey for what we were getting so in that regard, I'm not disappointed it didn't work, and I'm returning to Amazon.

We're so disappointed. Really hoped it would work for you so that we could order one, too.

Plastic Door Slider - might work
You might measure yours, and check for the sizes I put into the image. The problem I had, it didn't say on the description which way the sizes were oriented. And like I said, it almost fit, just the wrong orientation.
Again, the location of the screen door latch on my 5ver is above the regular door hand, and this fits a door where those are reversed from that.

I installed the Camco unit in my 5er, came with both pieces and I have another accessory that you push on to open the screen door, I got the screen door thingy just before I put the trailer into storage and will install it when i bring it home before we go out again. Only have to drill a 9/16" hole to install it.
