For those like me who find it a PITA to have to move the slide panel on the door to open it when the main door is open:
Check out the "Camco" RV Screen Door Opener - it's on AdventureRV.net for $4.72 and Camping World has them for about 6 bucks.
Easy to install & works great.

A very poor ad. I really can't see what it does....

You drill a small hole thru the panel just above the latch handle, then push thru the device. You then have a small knob on the inside which you lift up slightly to push down on the door latch. Very clever & cheap.

Hi All.
Nope, not for us annyways. I guess were just not that lazy that it bothers us to have to open the slidder a little bit. Been doing it for over 45 years already, why change now. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

I installed this a few months ago and it works well. It helps keep bugs out. Before, someone would leave the slider open and mosquitos and flies would get in. Easy to install.

Looks like it is intended to keep from opening the slider on the screen door when the entry door is open. Seems that opening the slider couldn't let in as many creepy crawlies as opening the whole screen door. Can't see what benifit it really has. Our rig is a little older and just has a roller catch to hold the screen door closed when entry door is open, in our case it is unnecessary to push on a lever, just push on the frame of the door and it opens. Never have to open the slider to open the screen door. Sometimes older and simpler is good.
