Gloria Atwater Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Howdy all ~ I've a somewhat odd question ... I've got a new-to-me 2005 Ford Ranger with a high-rise camper shell identical to this one: I've seen camper shells with "pet safe" metal screens in the camper windows, but I've only found them sold by Leer. This camper is a Vision, not a Leer, so I wondered ... does anybody know if those metal mesh pet screens will fit different makes of camper shells? Or is there anyplace that sells after-market metal mesh screens? When I'm traveling I crate my dogs back there, but when I'm at a trial, I'll just let them be loose in the back of the camper. However, the flimsy screens that campers come with tear so easily that I'm looking for a sturdier replacement. Any help? Thanks in advance! ~ Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon's girl Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 If they are made to be replaced when worn, anyone who fixes window screens should be able to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurae Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Like this? I got mine about ten years ago at the cap dealer where I got my topper (SnugTop) for my previous truck. They called it a security screen, and it's screwed on in the interior. When I sold my old truck, I took it off and put it on the new one. Easy peasy.

Sue R Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 That looks terrific, Laura! More secure than any sort of conventional (pet or otherwise) screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloria Atwater Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Laurae, that is EXACTLY what I mean! Leer called them Pet Screens, but theirs are vinyl-coated steel mesh. Here is what Leer's product look like: I've seen them on camper shells for full-sized trucks, made of good steel mesh. But I got my truck used, so the camper shell just came with it, as-is. So, I guess I should just check out some local camper dealerships, right? Thanks, by the way! Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
