What size did ya order?
People can still see in!
Canโt wait to hear how they work for you. They look pretty normal on there. Good luck ๐
Nice ๐ job.
I like the manufactured ones as they do seem safer and more "put together. " But if you are in a safe spot with other friends around and feel safe I think yours would be far more refreshing. So I would keep both and live with hating how I hold on to too much stuff. Both are great. Course I have a small dog and she wouldn't let a stranger get near me.
I slept in a Walmart parking lot with my windows down half way. I also had a Great Dane/German Shepherd mix with me and if some one would have tried to come in on me she would have had an arm for a souvenir lol. She is a sweet dog loves everyone but she knows when it is time to do her job. Plus if someone would have seen 160 lb dog come at them they wouldn't have stuck around lol. Only issue I had though she kept trying to steal my bed lol. We were camping in my Infiniti Qx56. So now I have a Dodge ram van if she wants to go camping with me. If just me I take the Infiniti. I had gotten me a little Chihuahua to go camping with me but he don't like car riding. So most of the time he stays home with his Daddy while mom goes camping. Now Ali wants to go camping with me and he is a Dane/Lab mix. So guess I am going to have to rotate who goes camping lol. I have such spoiled fur babies. If Bella the great Pyrenees decides she wants to start going lord help me lol.
The stealthy ones. Keep those bugs out !
Iโm fairly new to ur channel, but have gone back and watched many of ur past videos, which Iโm enjoying very much. I was wondering if you could give a recap for new views – how many children did you have? How long were you married? What happened to your husband? How old are you?
I watched a video of you in a house, I think ur daughter purchased, but Iโm confused. Do you still also live in ur big home or did you sell it? Are you sometimes w/ur daughter & sometimes in ur big home w/live in family? Where do you buy your adorable dresses, pants & that teal โVโ slinky top genie type pants outfit- loved that outfit!!! Iโm getting ready to try ur recipes for 2 weeks and see how I feel and if I lose any weight. I grew up camping all over the US, but not so sure I like the camper van idea for myself. Traveling alone isnโt for me. But I like watching your and others do it on YouTube. Ur a very interesting person.
Lulu, you have a twin in Eastern Illinois. She looks, sounds and acts just like you.
Take both pairs, just in case.
I would take both with you in case the new ones are not to your liking when in actual use.
It still looks like a window shade and you are inside.
Your just smart thanks much ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
I'd use yours when camping at camp site and hers at any parking lot best of both โคโคโคโค
love seeing you dance. great sandals lulu! hope ye like your new screens. continued blessings.๐
I made the best stealth window screens for my Promaster!
Using sticky back Velcro tapeโฆ.. I used the soft side and attached it to the inside window frame, that part stays in place and is not noticeable.
Attach the hook side to the installed tape. Remove the backing from the Velcro and stick the screen to itโฆ.. automatic perfect fit!
Trim and finish as you desire. Itโs worked fabulously for me.๐ค
You will only get half of the airflow but keeping no-see-ins out is more important.
Some magnets have sharp edges. I wrapped mine in black duck tape to protect my screen and paint.
keep both in your new trailer box
Just get black magnets then they wonโt show on your new bug screen!
@Lulu, since youโre quite good at sewing, can you make a new set of screens (following the ones youโve just bought) with your existing screen fabric? Just a thought ๐ค๐
Maybe if you get a hot night you could sleep in it in your driveway and test it out. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Hope they
๐work well for you.
The Pet Window Gate would give an added level of protection Amazon has several brands.
I don't think they are stealth enough to make a difference if someone is looking for a car to break in to. Not being a Debbie Downer…just giving an honest opinion. I think you did an excellent job with the ones you made.
I would take your own pair with you, as well.
I like the new ones because they look more professional but, if it's too hot, you can switch them.
I would keep them on and drive with them, to get used to it.
Neat idea.
Hi Lulu ๐โโ๏ธI'd keep both ๐๐ Looks nice โค๐ Have a great weekend and 4th of July ๐๐โค๏ธ๐
Could white spray paint the portions that go over the outside van parts. Just put cardboard underneath to paint, or draw a line with a bright color marking pen to know where to paint taking it OFF the vehicle.
Can you order those screens by the make n model of your vehicle?
Keep on dancing!
โค Your hand made screen is Way better just keep your window more closed when you sleep.
One night, I was so desperate for ANY air moving on a still night (traveling from AZ-MO), that I cracked the travel trailer door about 5โ with nothing but one regular bungee cord to keep it from flying open, ๐ฝ๐คฃ๐ !
Hi Lulu! I have been using ones like those new ones u just ordered but I find that not enough air is flowing through. So I am going to make some like the older ones u made. Keep up the great videos! Thank you ๐
I have slept in Walmart parking lots with mt windows partially down. Never had a problem.๐
Hi lulu I like the bugs screen you have I been searching all over for that , you a life saver I definitely order the bugs screen cool video,
I have screens like that and I use a magnet to hold the gaps closed
If you want a bit more security with the screens on and windows down, how bout a dog window vent. Used to keep dogs in. Will also keep arms out. ๐
The window screen is not safe! I turn on my AC and lock my van for a safe overnight ! ๐
Neither is stealthโฆuse the real screens at beach!
You canโt tell the windows open. I think youโre good. However, I thought your homemade ones were great too.
Use the store bought to make a pattern for your home made.
Oh No hope those will fit a 2016 Ford Transit. Those look Great!! Hoping you will really enjoy them

I was surfing ๐โโ๏ธ around the web looking for window ventilation options and look who pops up in my messages… Lulu! I have square windows in my 1990 Suburban Land Yacht. Thinking I'll try soffit vents. They have louvres to help if it rains.
Keep Dancing! ๐๐๐
I have a question. I just realized in my Van. That the max air fan runs without me turning the car on. Isnโt that draining your battery? How long can u run it without you running battery down ?
Could you use 3โ magnetic roll in white? It would hide the screen on the outside of the window. You could use around the whole window.
3" x 50 Foot – White Warehouse Labels – Magnetic Rolls
1/Roll | Item # Y10154
$66.70/Roll
I would keep both sets and use the screens when needed in a campground. Win, win.
Yes I agree the second one looks more stealth !!! Have a wonderful 4th of July Lulu. God Bless ๐๐ป๐บ๐ธ๐ฅ
