Doesn't your camper have doors at the turnbuckles? We have a 2014 front dinette. The front ones are on the bottom of the overhang. For the rear ones I made panels with an interior piece that fits into the opening. The perimeter has foam and there is an eye bolt to the inside. They are painted the color of the camper tub. A bungee between the 2 cover eye bolts holds them tight to the camper.

My 2005 has slider doors. Definitely put something there to keep pest out.

well when I bought it the installer pulled off really thin pieces of what looked like wood!! so I figured I should put something together to cover that same area on outside of camper

Assuming you have hinged or sliding doors on the inside, I don’t believe an outside covering is required. It won’t hurt, but not required. Some members have made screen covers to go over the outside so the inside door can be left partly open for ventilation.

While your camper is off the truck to check to see if it needs a fresh coat of paint on wood surfaces.

I bought some screens to cover the turnbuckle access holes which were made by Badtoytrd after seeing the thread below. Not sure they are still available. If not I think there is enough info in the thread to guide making them. I bought and attached velcro all around each opening to mount the screens. They work great!
