Replacement or new solution for the droopy Boondock door 320 nets?

We have a 2019 320 and the nets on the door are so droopy now that we can’t even use the bottom one and the top one reaches almost to the bottom of the door. It’s like somebody with their saggy drawers. Has anyone come up with a different solution for this? I thought about trying to sew something, but I don’t even really know what that looks like. IKEA has a bedside item that maybe I could stitch over that netting. We each keep a pair of shoes in there for easily leaving the camper and we keep headlamps and our power pole checker thingy in there, & a bungee cord to secure the door open.  The nets up above the window are hopeless, and we’ve mostly given up on them. I’ve taken mine down and Den just lets his be stretched out.

    The netting part does lose "elasticity" over time.  Some owners have found the same basic sort of netting, and "restrung" new nets using the elastic cords that surround the nets.  
    Not sure if the same company that supplied the original nets from around 2017 were still providing the nets for your 2019.  The company is "Organized Obie".
    These are their "stretch pockets".  

    The link below goes to the "Organized Obie" net replacement discussion.  I replaced the "over the window" nets in  my 2017 using the info in this thread.
    On page 2 of that thread, owner "BrianZ" reused the cords the nets hang by and used a different sort of fabric that would seem to last longer.

    Thank you so much. I looked through here, but I must've just been using the wrong words. I think there will be a solution here and I kinda like that alternate stretch thing. Thanks again.

    Wonder if you could tie or screw in place ends of some 3/16 bungy cord material top and bottom and string through alternate mesh openings.  Rolls of cord are readily available, on Amazon.   I have several for outdoor chair repairs.  Also useful to make closure loops around  rubbermaid tote boxes we haul gear in.

    I would just buy shock cord, string in through the nets alongside the existing cord, and then snip away the old cord. You might even be able to find cord in fun colors to go with your decor. I've never used this particular vendor but it looks like they've got a big variety.

    These are a framed version of a similar cargo net.  They are a finer elastic mesh that seems quite durable,  I have been using a pair of these for three years with no noticeable deterioration.

    @rfuss928 did it get screwed in the existing holes or did you have to make new? I’m so afraid of piercing any surface of this camper.

    I like the cording idea and I could throw a little color in there. The other thing I wish is that I had more of individual pockets for various things rather than just one or two dump sites. Lol like almost like a shoe organizer, but on a smaller scale. Because right now it’s like having a junk drawer in your kitchen.
