Removing roof vent screen

[TheCatsRV]

I have 4 roof vents on my rig which have screens that are filthy to varying degrees. The rig has roof vent covers so wondering how likely the leaf blower method will work, or do I have to remove the louvre grill if not the cover too?



The bathroom one has mould growing on it so I need to remove that to clean it.



Can't find anything in the Coachmen manual and all the videos I've searched on the 'net don't seem to have my set up



I don't see any obvious screws holding it in place, nor any obvious tabs to apply pressure on to pry out. There is an extrusion on one side but there is no screw home (unless there is a cap) and this shaft has a bend in it to book so not sure if it has a crew inside.



If it helps to identify the brand, knobs are used to operate the arm to move to cover, which is mounted on a central shaft/bar.

A picture may help...

My replacement screen just pops in. It has tabs that hold it in position.

Do you have a round Fantastic Fan screen that looks like the one in the link below?

If so, look VERY carefully at the 6 o'clock position of the screen in the first photo. There is a raised lip. You put your finger into that raised area and pull down firmly. The other two photos show you how it's attached. It seems like you're going to break it while pulling it down or putting it back, but they're VERY pliable.

Once I have mine off, I remove the blade and wash it too,

Sorry for the delay. Had to get into the RV. This is what my vents look like

You have to remove the knob and it looks like there is a tab opposite the knob.

Thank you. Remarkable what a little bit more light can reveal. Removed the screw for the handle and the nut for the power switch (where applicable) and 2 screws holding the screen to the centre bar. No go. Just undid the inside flange and it comes out.

You should be able to squeeze your hand in there and clean the lid.
