Good Job!
I've thought of putting one of those on, but even after 2 other rv's, I've never put a hand or anything through the screen....... yet. So, that being said, watch me put my hand through the screen while we're out this weekend!

Nice! We put one on our door a couple of weeks ago and can't see how we lived without it! Great mod.

DH installed one the first summer we had our tt. I was worried one of the grandkids would push the screen out. Works great.

11' of kitchen backsplash came from the factory. Will be doing the bathroom in a week or 2.

Modifications
This modification bug is addictive and can be expensive.
I've created a sizable folder of bookmarks of things I've seen and want to do. Just waiting for that ship to come in...

DW mentioned the bathroom as well, so far I have dodged that bullet!

Only about 5' needed to wrap the corner. Quick and easy to do. I'll do it at the storage space and take a day quiet and alone. She will appreciate it more thinking it was difficult

We did the same mod a couple of weeks ago. Camping with it the first time this weekend but already loving it in camp driveway!
+1 about mod addiction... also already done this year are a power tongue jack, heavier duty stabilizers and a 3" lift (to clear the sloped driveway).
Upcoming for this year: Fan-Tastic Vent 807350 for the bedroom, 2 vent covers and digital thermostat.

Mod Addict Too!
I absolutely love modify my RV, too! I added the grab bars on both doors, added the 'fake' tile backsplash to the kitchen and bathroom, and had a friend help me add a roof vent cover, a removable bumper mount clothes line... what else? I live for mods to do on the RV and troll YouTube looking for ideas!! I have to pace myself, but it is so much fun to make it MINE!!

That is one my favorite mods! I no longer feel like I will rip the tiny latch handle off the screen door while pulling it shut.

That's exactly what happened to me. 12 years, two campers no door issues. First week with the Wildwood and someone punches a hole in the screen door. 
On the mods like others say, it only gets worse and if your DW goes to a CW superstore you're in trouble. . .
