There are such things as retractable screens. Here are a couple of websites that carry them. They may also be available through the big box stores but I am not sure. I am also not sure if they could be made to flex to the curvature of the wall if they rolled up on the side of the door.
I’ve installed a retractable screen system, bought at Home Depot, at my Toronto home.
Such a thing won’t work in the Argosy because of our curvature.
I thought I could modify the present door to slide sideways but I’d forgot the wiring harness to the control panel that will be at the front entry. That blocked the way.
So what I’m doing now will make it the equivalent of a contemporary Airstream, I think.
I’ve stripped out the opening mechanism from the window. It will be fixed in the closed position but provide a nice opening in the door. And I’ll still have the traditional screen door
I nevertheless emailed one of the companies your referred me to. They are in Ottawa and may have heard of something that will work on an airplane-like wall - but it’s doubtful, isn’t it?

I haven't seen window screens on any of the Boeing planes I've flown recently Maybe de Havilland, they could use 'em why they fly some of those Beavers -Bernie
I would suppose that the roller screens could be made to work OK if they opened vertically rather than horizontally. That, of course would not be too convenient for a door though. One other approach might be to use screen with a zipper like on the entrance to a tent. You could pull it to the side like a curtain when not in use. It might also be possible to mount it on some type of track at the top.
Sounds like the fixed window and standard screen door is the way to go this time around though.
Don Gunstone, a local electrician, helped me wire in the Charger/Converter, the fused Shut-Off and the 12v fused Distribution Panel yesterday.

Do I need a drain on the fresh water holding tank??
The current drain is in the way of my new furniture install.
Since I’ve installed a shut-off between the pump and the tank can’t I just cap off the existing drain?
It seems I should be able to use the pump to drain the tank. (The drain and the outlet are at the same level). And if the pump needs to be disconnected while I have water in the tank, isn’t there the new shut-off ?
