  In this thread, Scott G mounted his solar controller in an old skool lunch box. (Pictures on on the first page of the thread.)

  There's also a thread here somewhere about additional screens and how to make them. I can't find it on my phone but it specifically talks about noseeums.

  LRey, This is how I mounted mine in the tub on frount. The mounting plate is a cutting board from Wallmart, trimmed down a bit to fit. It has been through lots of rain and snow, even one hurricane, and still works fine. Seems to provide enough weather protection for the controller.

  JustJohn - I wondered what that white board was!  Good idea since we are currently getting ready to mount our CC inside the tub.

  What's a "CC", @SAM?  I've been outside at a street art fair in this heat and I may just be spacing it, but I can't associate it with words.....

  Just returned from a week of camping, and I have info regarding @LauraRey's questions 1 and 3.
  
  I'll update the appropriate threads when time permits, but here's the high points:
  
  - The solar lunchbox worked great. One set-up, one take-down.
  
  - The bugs come in around the edges of the accordion window screens. They are cute, but functionally useless. Window "hairnets" help some. We also field-tested our new homemade screen panels for use with the PahaQue awning. Results were better than expected!

  Would love pics and info about your screen panels when you get a chance. :-)

  @ScottG also can't wait to see your screen panels. Sewing @Photomom hairnets now for the windows. Thanks for the great instructions on that.

  We just picked up our 2018 T@b. Are the windows on ours the same?

  It appears they are. At some point they flipped the orientation of the screens vs. the shades, but otherwise there's no functional difference.

  We took off the grills and mouldings around the air conditioner on our trailer and found lots of places where bugs and drafts could come in. Some gaps were covered with wheather stripping and some with heavy duty tape and it made an improvement in AC operation. Less bugs too.

  That is no see um net to cover the fantastic fan, cause, well nos see um can get trough regular fly screens, I also made window "socks" from no see um that have a small bungee cord that as simply wraps around the windows frame.  So bugs issues.  But did not found the solution for our T@G stargazer window ....yet.
