Critters and Air Filters Over the years I've had several air filters chewed up by field mice. Here's my solution. |
|
THis is what my air filter used to look like after the RV had been sitting for a while. It's parking spot is on gravel, but there is high grass and shrubbery nearby. |
|
This little piece fashioned from a piece of aluminum flashing has solved the problem. |
|
Step 1 is to loosen the clamp that holds the air intake in place. The air filter is just past the clamp. |
|
With the clamp loosened, it's easy to pull the front-end of the air intake from its hole above the radiator. |
|
Place the piece of aluminum flashing over the opening of the air intake. |
Snap the air intake back into place and tighten the clamp.
Important: Put a note on your steering wheel to remind you to remove the aluminum strip before starting the engine. |
