Don't spray DEET on the plastic parts of your camper!
I knew that! But have sprayed it on tent screens in the past without issue so I took the chance.
We were in the Outer Banks of NC. They have a small problem with "No See 'Em's" down that way. They were getting in the camper and causing trouble so we sprayed the screens with "Deep Woods OFF". It worked great for the little nasties. But the plastic of the roof vents on the screen door weren't crazy about the stuff. it left a mottled look to them.
These pics were taken after we got home and gave the camper and all these surfaces a good cleaning. The screens seem fine with no issues. But the vents speak for themselves.
We will try something different next time. Not sweating the little damage. The vents will likely be swapped out for vents with fans in them soon.
