Mosquito fix for t@b windows

I read about the Bug Fuzz, just wondering what size it is and where can you get it? We have a 2015 CS-S Max.

Which style of screen do you have? The bug fuzz is for the pleated screens. The earlier T@Bs have fully enclosed roll-up screens. I'm not sure what year Pleasant Valley switched the screen style.

I have an early 2015 and it has the newer screens. We did not get the little handle that connects the top and bottom.

Our T@b is a 2015 CS-S with pleated screens.

I am wondering how to close the space between the front window of our 2015 T@B outback and the trailer itself. We have put bug fuzz on the sides of the screen but I understand there is a foam weather stripping with a peel and stick strip that you can install. Do you do it at the bottom of the window from inside or outside. Help much appreciated.
Thx

@Yukon, the gap is between the window screen frame and the inside wall of the camper. It's really obvious if you open the window, stick your head in the opening, and look directly at the point where they meet.

I removed the screen frame entirely (IIRC it was just a screw in each corner) and stuck the foam to back of the frame. Contrary to instructions, I opted to apply the foam all the way around the frame. This necessitated a trip to the hardware store as the kit did not contain enough foam to do this.

Since the gaps are not even all the way around, you want to use highly compressible foam such as poly (best) or vinyl. Rubber foam has the least compressibility and may make re-installation of the frame more difficult. I used 1/2" wide x 3/8" deep vinyl foam and it worked fine.

Certainly possible--the gaps in mine were huge. I would never have even thought about it except that nuCamp sent some foam tape with my fuzz kit along with rather vague directions about putting it under parts of the front window screen frame. Once I actually took a look around, the problem--and solution--became obvious. I definitely suggest checking your own T@B before attempting mitigation.

Well today I installed the 'insect brush' on side windows; front already had it.
Used the method @Homebodyatheart outlined back in 2018


Was a quick and painless install.  I did pop-off the lower corner plastic and cleaned out a couple dozen bug bodies.
Asked nüCamp to send the Brush Kit after a recent outing that had way too many night time bug bits.

Sent NuCamp an email and they shipped door fuzz out to me right away. Took off plastic strip on each side and used a template to cut. Help white and black screen/shade string away from track. Had a cheap plastic door trim kit (used to take door trim off on vehicles) and tucked it in with that. Everything slides easily afterwards. Thanks for all the tips on here. Both windows took me under 15 min to do.
