The screen door slide on a Casita trailer is a plastic piece that runs along the middle of the screen door, horizontally, and allows a breeze to enter your trailer without having to have the door open. The slide looks a little like a doggy door except that it is located at the middle of the screen door and not the bottom. These slides are easy to install, don't require any tools as they simply slide out and can be purchased online or at any RV parts store. Slides are generally made of plastic material and can be found in different colors, including clear, so that you can customize your trailer's screen door however you want.
Just like home screen doors, the screen door on your Casita trailer has a handle on it. The handle is not the part that latches the door onto the trailer for security reasons, that is what the door latch is for. Instead, the door handle just makes it easier for a user to grip the door whenever opening or closing it. Trailer screen door handles generally come in three, easy to install plastic pieces as part of a handle kit. Just like with the slides, handles are available online or at any RV parts store.
The latch on a Casita trailer screen door is the mechanism that helps keep the screen door closed. Generally the latch and the handle are two separate parts of the screen door though some latches may include the handle depending on the type of screen door on your trailer. Also, some latches use simple mechanical setups to latch the screen doors while others use magnets.
