Ripped Screen

DaveAnna

Have a 2021 tab 320. The front window screen separated where the mesh had been glued. Anybody know where to buy new pleated screen material or know of a better glue?

If your TaB is still under its warranty, ykumshould be able to get a replacement through a dealer from nüCamp.

Delivered may 2021. I think it’s out

Worth a try, contact your dealer or nüCamp Customer Care.

@DaveAnna - how about a photo?  You can also send an email with photo to tech@nucamprv.com.

The screen is glued in the middle. Maybe end of a roll or something. The glue just disintegrated. None of the other screens are glued. They’re one full piece

That sounds like a defect, send nüCamp the photo.

@DaveAnna Is this a 320 with the indoor kitchen? If so, I know a few people have reported their front screens melted with stove use. I ask because it looks like the worst damage of yours is on the same side as the stove.

Either way, I’d contact nuCamp.

Here are some threads with similar photos.  Damage due to heat/steam.

Thanks for everyone’s input. I sent pictures to nuCamp, we’ll see what happens. After a few trips, here’s a couple of things to look for on a new camper:
1.  Obviously pull all the bug screens down and look for glued joints. I think the sun kills the glue. 

2.  Be sure the keder rails are lined up where two meet. Mine were off 1/16” and you couldn’t slide the canopy. Cured with 2 hours and a dremel. 

Thanks again!!

Well, back to my original question. Does anyone know where I can purchase the pleated screen mesh?  Warranty was up a month or two ago

thanks

The only source I know off is a replacement screen from nüCamp (which needs to be ordered through a dealer).  The screens are a prefabricated unit, and come as a complete assembly.

Apparently there was a source for door parts at one time, but the link no longer seems to work.  :-/

No luck with Transatlantic Products who supply the window system. They kicked it back and said heat from stove (nuCamp issue). Since out of warranty by a few months, I’m trying to get a price for complete unit. I’ve explained that the screen is not melted, the glue gave way. Amazing that we have to buy a whole system to replace a piece of fiberglass screen material

@DaveAnna, how did you reach Transatlantic Products? I get an error message when I click the link for their website.

Just an update-$304.00 for new screen/shade assembly. Seems a little much for a 36x24 screen mesh from China. (The mesh is all I need). Doesn’t include shipping. All because we’re a month out….plan to remove the mesh portion and just use magnetic screen when needed. I cannot imagine how much for the door screen…

New update. Transatlantic Products is shipping a new system to me. Shipping is not yet included, but Dan is very helpful at Transatlantic. In the meantime, superglue will not hold the screen at all. My wife used hot glue gun-so far so good.
