Window screen replacement

Hello,

I have a 2014 Bighorn 3875FB. My rear window screen (~33" x 18") has a bend in the frame (yes I sat on it!), and now falls out of the window if I breath on it. I think the windows are Parkin. Anyone know where I can get a replacement screen?

There are universal screen kits with hollow sides you saw to length and plastic corner joiners. You then add screening as in any other window screen. Check at any home improvement store for these.
Most glass replacement businesses also make custom screens.

I found the Parkin website, and they listed many other brands of RV windows, but not a Parkin brand. You might want to call them at the number on their website: http://parkin-acc.com/page2.html You might want to check out all of th data they might want on their "RV Window Check Page"

I got two screens from Parkin last summer after the kittens got their claws into them. They want the part number from the back of the frame, but I gave them the PN I got by calling Heartland with my VIN. They are not cheap, however.

After getting them, I was able to remove the screening from the old frames and replace it with Pfifer PetScreen. Eventually, I’ll put that in the rest of the screens. It is cat proof since I initially put it in our doorwall screen after our (late) Maine Coon decided to try climbing it and ripped the original screening. The PetScreen held up to his later shenanigans.
I still have a supply of it left over.

Hi Camping Family! Anyone have (or know of someone) a 2013 2550RK travel trailer? I need to replace two screens and it has been such a difficult task! One vendor said that I would need to remove my windows to get the model number in order to search for screen replacements. I cannot believe Heartland would make it that difficult to replace a screen. Any helpful info on screen replacements would be greatly appreciated! TIA! :)

If the screen frame isn’t broken, you can replace the screen mesh yourself. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, remove the spline from the channel. It may be glued in spots, but you can work it loose by picking at it. Then remove the mesh. Use new mesh cut about an inch larger than the frame and work the spline back into the channel, keeping the mesh taunt.
The Pet Screen material I used is slightly heavier than RV screen, but I got it to work with a little effort.
