Purchased a 2004 Tab. Do they make screen doors for a model this old?

Welcome, this is a great forum with loads of information and help. The newer screen door might work but I think you'll have to move cabinet doors some to install it. Maybe someone who's done the mod will chime in with some details. Here's a link to a discussion on this subject.

Et al. The installation of the nüCamp screen door on a Dutchman t@b is pretty straightforward. In the Dutchman models, the kitchen countertop is closer to the door opening than in the nüCamp models. To install the screen door on a Dutchman t@b a tiny notch, about 1/2 inch wide, has to be cut out of the countertop next to the wall to allow for the screen door frame to fit. Once completed, the notch is not noticable, looks like it was made that way and can be made nearly invisible with a little well placed color co-ordinated caulk. We worked with the owner of 2 tadas this past Memorial Weekend to help with measurements and how to make the nüCamp screen door installation work. I also remember somewhere here on the forum someone describing just this method of notching the countertop to install the current screen door in their Dutchman t@b.2017 t@b sofitel(Dr@gonsFly)TV 2015 Silverado 2500hd(Behemoth).

You will also have to remove a silver trim piece along the floor. The "side" brackets may not have a place to be mounted, but the four corner screws and screws in the floor is sufficient.
You may also have to move over your top cabinet doors, or trim the one closest to your T@B door.Carol

@Mouseketab, thanks for the clarification. We didn't find the cabinet door alteration to be necessary in the tada's we were measuring, and I would also guess model and year have something to do with it.2017 t@b sofitel(Dr@gonsFly)TV 2015 Silverado 2500hd(Behemoth). Wyandotte, Michigan.

Hello Sharon, Not sure about 2004 model but I have a 2006 and I have an original screen door for it. But I installed the magnetic closure one. It's not in the way. like the one I have. The 2006 opens in to the seating area. Hope this helps Debbie in Napakiva said:Purchased a 2004 Tab. Do they make screen doors for a model this old?

Does anyone know where you can purchase the retractable screen door?

Check out this thread. Looks like they purchased through nuCamp, so now, you would need to order through a dealer.
