Fly screens?

 ·  Posted: 12.07.2013  ·  #1
We're using the MH at weekend and I'm just wondering does anybody know can midges get through the fly screens?
Was thinking if its too hot at night might open skylight or small window up top and close fly screen,
But I'm a bit doubtful in case little beggars can get in >_<

Same here. Never had a problem in the van when using the screens.

Just remember to switch off all internal lights if you open the door screen to get in and out.

Most flying bugs get in when the screens are not closed.

Might be an Apocryphal story, but.

It was said that when flyscreens were being introduced to the British market from the continent by a German firm, they had to be redesigned because the Scottish midges just walked through the mesh !!!
