The big green shed sells midgee proof mesh they also sell aluminium moulding to make screens - any screens you make with it would have square corners - though you could make a shaped frame using ply - sandwich mesh edges between ply frame - ensure you paint frame with waterproof lacquer or such.
Attach framed mesh to window/s with screws or pop rivets.
Tools required to cut ply into shapes would be fret saw, jig saw or band saw.

I use fibreglass midgee mesh produced by cyclone which fits just like normal flyscreen. I had to special order it through Bunnings as it isnt usually stocked by them despite selling regular flyscreen by the same brand.

Our slide on campers screen door has the conventional u shaped channel with press in rubber mounting strip like most household aluminium doors and windows. Other locations are trickier requiring a variety of solutions including clips, glue and perimeter fastenings. I have only done a few opening to maintain airflow in high infestation situations as the regular flyscreens work in most situations. Our trailable yacht has a timber drop in flyscreen door that again has a conventional aluminium flyscreen mounted on it allowing an easy change. Our forward ventilation hatch has a very fine mesh screen that attaches via a rubber suction mount which is then pulled to the edges by a draw cord. These are available at marine outlets and would work on some smaller caravan windows. :)

no these Permastik 2m x 2m XL Adjustable Magnetic Fly Screen Kit, bought one but doesn't fit. the windows on the Crafter are impossible, I am now out of ideas
Velcro may be another solution for fitting finer screens depending on the opening.
how would Velcro work on the mesh
I have seen Velcro used on the hem of the screen and the surround area of the existing screen or window opening.
Unfortunately we are all guessing your screen needs without a picture of the opening. These would have to be custom made as I dont think you would buy something off the shelf so to speak.

It is doubtful that there will be an off the shelf screen to suit - as I advised earlier, they would need to be made to specifically fit - If you cannot make frames see local men's shed, where a lot of old crafty buggars hang out willing to accept a challenge.

Make a cardboard frames to attach mesh (stiff cardboard) - sandwich mesh between assembled frame - it should be able to sit (inside van) in top and bottom window tracks

Another "brain fart" Could you sew a hem around screen material at desired shape and size, leaving a pocket to slide in a wire (coat-hanger wire), slide in wire shaped to window aperture - again it would sit in internal track of window.
