David, that's a good question as the Newell can't (shouldn't) be fit with the traditional RV screen door. What you would be looking for is a Phantom screen, here's an earlier post on the forum explaining it.

I purchased a retractable screen from Lowes, shortened it and put it on a 1986 Newell a while back, it worked great. It is very similar product to the old pull down shades, but a better designed spring type and roller mechanism. Just some thoughts and ideas on the matter. The retracting roller springs get weak over time and use.

Just an example of replacements at a huge savings from what the factory will charge for the DIY guy!
