Screen for Truck

[Fishaholic2011]

I have a topper on my truck and would like to sleep in my truck without being disturbed by bugs, mainly mosquitoes. They find the gaps that are open around the tailgate. Does anyone know of some kind of screen enclosure that is made for and/or small enough to fit under a topper (short box).

I wouldn't think that many would get in. If you are that worried about bugs,.... while camping..., in MN...., in the summer..., in a truck, maybe camping in the great outdoors isn't for you! This is mn, they will get in... every time you open a door to your house/camper/truck, they tend to sneak in, especially in the evening. If you are able to crawl in the back without any following you, put a rag over your gaps. Seems like a waste to spend money on a "screen" when I don't think it would be of much benefit for what you are looking for. If your gaps are that small, I would think you just seal them from the inside when you get in for sleeping. A can of aerosol would kill the ones that are in there.

Mosquito netting and Velcro stripping works great! Buy the Velcro stripping with stick/on backing and put on truck and topper and other half on netting.

When I slept in the back of my Suburban I would use magnets to hold up the netting around the windows.

Any chance that might work for you as well?

Menards sells some pretty strong ones that are rated for something like 22 pounds.

Lots of places that sell toppers sell foam seals for around the tailgates for people who don't want dust in the back of the truck.

Unless you're getting a ton of mosquitos in there, I'm sure most are getting in when you get in.

I do like the idea of a net with magnets. Seems pretty simple.

Thanks for your help. I was able to find a product that looks like it will work. Sansbug mosquito tent is totally inclosed and will fit under my topper.
