I had already found that site, but was hoping there was another source. I remember seeing another supplier a while back that sold a standard screen with zipper for a lot less.

You can go to smithbrothers.com and get them for $24.95 with zippers and velcro to attach to mounting brackets. They work great! I put 4 in our trailer years ago and still are in real good shape. We have a Featherlite and they fit real good in the windows.

Caution on buying the ones with zippers, mine only lasted almost 2 months using them 1 or 2 times a weekend. I went back with PC's and no zippers and have been on 9 months now and still look new.

Depending on the window opening and location of any rings or brackets to attach screens ,the ones by Professional's Choice may not fit.I have 2 in another trailer,and,they aren't large enough for the windows on our 4 Star.So I may have to get a couple at a time,and,they may have to be custom sized.(meaning the $54.95 ones.)

My Sundowner has LARGE windows and the PC's fit pretty good. They are not as tall but it is close. The actual screen fits inside the window frame with about 1/2" on each side and mounted the bottom even with bottom edge of window and there is about 1" gap in the very top. Everyone that has looked at it didn't even notice. But bottom line the price for the PC's (under 20. each) vs. custom made from Sundower at $60 each. And the ones from Sundowner is not as thick as the PC's

We had a Sundowner years ago and it came with what I called nets. Looked like the cargo net things you put in your truck to catch things that are sliding. One eventually got torn, lasted 10 years, and we replaced with a screen. I discovered the screens really block the air flow. Its amazing how much it blocks and how hot it gets. I was cleaning out the horse area once and it was so hot. I unzipped the screen and the cool air came right in. I much prefered the nets for this reason and had I kept the trailer I would of tried to find replacements instead of the screens because it gets so hot in Texas.

The PC didn't fit our 4 Star window openings.We tried them.not long enough on the corners to attach to anything,if you used a double snap,it was too loose.A horse could get their head under it.
