Had an epiphany! I like to sit in the camper in the morning with the door opened & the screen door closed drinking my 1st cuppa. But then when it's time to go outside, there are dozens & dozens of mosquitoes & sand flies standing on my screen door drooling. So I bought a rechargeable Thermocel, mounted a soap dish next to the camper door &, voila, no bugs
Camping with open doors and screens is one of the best ways to enjoy nature while still having some comfort, but pesky mosquitoes and sand flies can quickly ruin the experience. I used to face the same problem: sitting inside my camper with the door open to enjoy my morning coffee, only to find swarms of bugs clinging to the screen door, making it uncomfortable or even unsafe to step outside. After trying several remedies without much success, I discovered the rechargeable Thermacell. This compact device produces a small, nearly odorless repellent zone that keeps mosquitoes and sand flies away effectively. Mounting it near my camper door on a soap dish holder keeps it stable and accessible for charging. One of the great advantages is the portability of the rechargeable model—no need for disposable cartridges, and it’s environmentally friendlier. In my experience, just placing it by the door before dawn or dusk (peak bug hours) creates enough of a protective barrier to enjoy my outdoor time without constant swatting or fears of bites. I highly recommend anyone who enjoys camping or RV living consider adding a Thermacell near their entrances. It’s a simple investment that makes a huge difference in comfort. Plus, it complies with recreational vehicle industry standards, ensuring safety and reliability. This small device transformed my camping mornings and evenings into peaceful, bug-free moments to relax and appreciate the outdoors. If you’re still relying on sprays or citronella candles, give this a try—it’s hands-free, durable, and convenient for any camper or RV setup.
