I am missing the interior window frame/screen. I'm not sure exact whats missing but from the inside all I have is the lift hardware. I can see insulation and the rough edges of the interior sheeting. I have an 87 excella 34 and it's the rear curbside window

Maybe check with Inland RV: Inland RV Center - The Nations Leading Expert in Airstream Innovations

Seems like someone could fabricate one for you using an existing one as a template as last resort. Or check with some of the airstream salvage yards:

If Andy does not have it at Inland try Out-of-Doors Mart

On a related note, we still have our frame on the front window; only the screen cloth and screen bead are missing. Am I smoking the drapes to believe I could press a new screen bead into the groove on top of some nice new screen cloth? I have the two-wheeled beading tool.

That's all there is to it. And no smoking in the trailer!

Right, wouldn't think of it. Thanks for the encouragement.

The bead might not be the standard screen door size. At Out of Doors mart they sell 5/32.

I guess we were just lucky, Daniel; we bought a kit from Home Depot that had the wheel, some screen, and the spline, went in real easy...

I was just on the Blaine Window site and noticed they have a custom screen quote form with lots of different options (including unpainted aluminum). Maybe this would work for you?

Well that saves me the trouble of worrying about it. When I'm ready to do mine I'll go to Home Depot.
(They didn't go in too easy, did they?)

Well, no frame of reference, since I had never done screen replacement b4. So maybe next ones I try, I will get the skinnier stuff. As long as they have it at Home Depot.
