I recently purchased the ADFORS Small Insect Screen to replace the standard screens on my RV trailer windows. In this review, I’ll walk through the installation process, compare the mesh sizes, and share my real-world experience with how well it blocks smaller bugs.
Installation Process
Installing the ADFORS Small Insect Screen was straightforward. I used a rolling tool to remove the old screen, loosely matched the size of the new mesh, and pressed the rubber strip back into place. The entire process was done separate from the vehicle, making it easier to handle.
I cut a larger piece of the ADFORS Small Insect Screen to fit my window, which measures approximately 18 by 30 inches. The mesh is much tighter than the standard screens that came with my RV, and the installation took minimal time and effort.
- Used a rolling tool to remove old screens
- Loosely matched size and pressed rubber strip back in
- Completed installation separate from the vehicle
Mesh Comparison
The standard screens that came with my RV have squares that are about 1/8 of an inch each. In comparison, the ADFORS Small Insect Screen has squares that are roughly 1/4 of that size, making it significantly tighter.
While the tighter mesh does reduce airflow slightly compared to the standard screens, air can still flow through adequately. The primary benefit is that smaller bugs have a much harder time getting through the ADFORS Small Insect Screen.
- Standard screens: ~1/8 inch squares
- ADFORS Small Insect Screen: ~1/4 the size of standard squares
- Tighter mesh reduces airflow slightly but still allows sufficient ventilation
Real-World Testing
In real-world use, the ADFORS Small Insect Screen does provide better protection against small gnats and other tiny insects that could previously enter through the larger gaps in the standard screens.
However, it’s important to note that no screen is perfect. While the ADFORS Small Insect Screen is an improvement over the standard screens, it may not block every single bug—some very small insects might still find their way through.
- Better protection against small gnats and tiny insects
- Not entirely bug-proof—some very small insects may still get through
Who this is for
If you’re looking for better bug protection for your RV trailer windows and don’t mind a slight reduction in airflow, the ADFORS Small Insect Screen is a worthwhile upgrade over standard screens. It’s easy to install and provides a noticeable improvement in keeping smaller insects out.

Final thoughts
The ADFORS Small Insect Screen offers a practical solution for RV trailer window bug protection. Its tighter mesh effectively blocks many small insects that standard screens let through, and installation is simple. While not entirely bug-proof, it’s a meaningful upgrade for those seeking better protection without major modifications.
