The fabric side extensions to the screen at the back could have small pockets for the magnets to reside in, then the magnets would not have to be collected each time. Make it easier to connect and disconnect the sides of the screen.

Excellent. Every little “hack” spurs the imagination of possibilities. Magnets are awesome! The little storage box is great and little felt cozies cut just slightly larger than the magnet to coddle them one from another and give a grip to keep separate and protect the metal surface was a hack for me. Experiment with felt weight for the right ratio. Thanks y’all !!!

I love both of these products/items and the way you are using them is genius. But I have a question about the door/hatch staying open so long. Clara mentioned that now that she has the bug screen all fixed that sometimes she slept with the hatch open. So my question is won't your car battery die because of the lights in the car being on all night if you leave the hatch open all night long? I have seen so many van tours or demonstrations like this with the car door or hatch open so long and I have wondered about this more and more recently.

Some newer vehicles have a computer setting or light switch setting to turn the lights off. You can google it to find out for your vehicle. I have heard there is a way to find where the switch is on the hatch and use a carabiner to make it think the hatch is closed.

@@ButterflyTracks Do you think you can do a Tutorial on this topic too? With all your lady friends there? Maybe go to about 3 or 4 different cars and ask them of they have a switch in their car that turns OFF the dome/interior lights that would normally stay on if a car door, hatchback, or barn doors on a van are left open for many hours (so that the engine battery doesn't get drained)?

I have a 2021 Subaru Forester. I found a KZread video showing how to use a carabiner in the door side of the latch. As the door is closing, I hook the carabiner into it. This tricks the vehicle into thinking the door is closed. To release, I just push and hold the close button and it falls out.

Hi Christine. 👋 I haven't used leveling blocks for my minivan. Since the head of my bed is raised I haven't noticed if the van's not level. I should do a video on that. I didn't ask her which cooling blanket but I'm sure they're on Amazon. Since I've been at higher elevations it's cool enough for a warm blanket here. 50s at night. 😊
