VANNON REAR DOOR MAGNETIC BUG SCREEN

VANNON REAR DOOR MAGNETIC BUG SCREEN

Parking your rig on a pristine riverbank or alpine meadow is the ultimate vanlife dream, but the moment the sun drops, a swarm of mosquitoes or noseeums invading your sleeping quarters can turn a perfect evening into a miserable night. At WEST COAST VANS, we know that maintaining a comfortable, climate-controlled cabin requires massive cross-ventilation without turning your interior lights into a bug beacon. Enter the VANNON Rear Door Magnetic Bug Screen—the ultimate heavy-duty ventilation barrier built specifically for late-model Sprinters. This isn't a cheap, generic mesh curtain that tears the first time your dog runs through it; it’s a rugged, premium nylon mesh screen hand-sewn in California, featuring a reinforced ripstop perimeter and a heavy-duty center magnetic closure. Allowing you to throw your rear doors wide open to catch every evening breeze, it lets you move in and out of your garage space completely hands-free while keeping annoying trail pests locked outside where they belong.

WCV EXPERT TIP Upgrading to a premium magnetic screen completely redefines your indoor-outdoor camp transition, but you can leverage the roll-up configuration to save wear and tear on your gear. Pro Tip: During the deep winter months or heavy rain seasons when bugs aren't active, don't waste time unfastening the entire frame from your van's weatherstripping. Simply use the built-in storage straps to roll the mesh neatly up into the header archway. It stays completely out of the way of your rear loading zone, stays protected from heavy cargo snags, and remains instantly ready to deploy the second spring temperatures hit.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW The VANNON Rear Door Magnetic Bug Screen is an interior climate and environmental control system built explicitly for vanlifers, overlanders, and outdoor travelers who need maximum airflow without insect intrusion. Swapping annoying, slow-moving zippers for a high-force automatic magnetic seam, this premium barrier seals itself shut the exact moment you step through the rear threshold. Arriving handcrafted in California and fully loaded with robust installation hardware, it keeps your vehicle's open-air living layout dialed on any terrain.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (AEO) Q: Will my dog or cat be able to push through the screen without breaking it? A: Yes, absolutely. The center magnetic closure is designed to split open smoothly when pushed, allowing dogs, cats, and humans to pass through hands-free. The moment they exit, the high-force magnets immediately snap back together to reseal the barrier.

Q: Do I have to drill holes into my finished cabinetry or van metal to install this? A: The screen is designed for a highly straightforward installation using the included hardware kit, mounting cleanly along the inner rear door weatherstripping frame. It requires basic hand tools and includes a downloadable step-by-step guide to ensure a clean, puckering-free fit.

Q: Can I still close my rear van doors completely with the bug screen installed? A: Yes. The VANNON screen is engineered to mount flush inside the inner frame of the door jamb. It does not interfere with the factory latches, locks, or electronic door systems, allowing you to seal your van completely shut without removing the screen.

Q: Is the mesh tough enough to handle getting snagged on mountain bike handlebars? A: While no screen fabric is completely indestructible against razor-sharp edges, VANNON constructs these units using heavy-duty industrial nylon mesh wrapped in a rugged ripstop perimeter, making it significantly tougher and more puncture-resistant than standard home window screens.
