Geday gang, can anyone help me out there . I am trying to find a web site to order a set of new fly screens for my Windsor, 1996, sunchaser. I have measured it all up but all the sites that I hit the measurements do not match, perhaps the van is a bit like me with a bit of age and its hard to get replacement parts. Thank you for any help.

G'day Bardos, Welcome to the Gang, have you tried this Mob, they specialise in odd shaped fly screens and they don't charge for postage.......... https://flexiscreens.com/odd-shapes/

Best of luck. K. J.

G'day mate

My MH is fitted with Seitz / Dometic windows with the built-in flyscreen & privacy screen do-dad

They had started sticking so were removed from the walls, cleaned the spring mechanism etc etc and reinstalled
But that cleanup only worked for about another year

When I went looking for replacement flyscreen material to replace the original white stuff, I was unable to source it in Australia
Off to "you know who who is always cheaper" and bought a long length of black 'midge' flyscreen ... like most cloth it is measured in "threads-per-inch"
This midge stuff is 18 threads per inch

I then took all the old damaged flyscreens + the new stuff to an upholsterer who with the old ones as samples managed to sew hems into the flyscreen stuff and it all went back into the window frames very nicely

All-up cost for base materials + upholsterer was under $100 ... whereas the OEM replacements would have cost me 6x $160

Hope this helps

Try www.caravansplus.com.au I got some for my 1998 Motorhome from them prices were pretty reasonable. The site shows sizes, how to measure, examples & fitting instructions..... you might get lucky!.
