As I wrote in my last post, I did go out to work on the coach today, and while there, I ran my hand down along one side of the ducting work, and felt in all the holes, and felt something strange and pulled out what can best be described as a crumple up filter. Evidently with no grills in the ceiling, what they did was simply push filter material (looks like the same stuff I had on my old Winnebago Adventurer) into the air intakes. There was another on the other side, and I searched in the bathroom area (around where the other unit is mounted to the roof) and once again, the crumpled air filter material. And wow, was it dirty. I believe the gentleman who sold me the RV when he said he had no idea where the filters are. Evidently they haven't been cleaned in years. So, now I'll clean them up and turn on the fan to locate the inlets to make sure I stuff them into the right places.
I guess since my coach was one of the first that Beaver put the elegant ceiling panels into that they didn't want to cut holes in them so this was their solutions, just place filter material over the air intakes. Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea as in later 1999 and onward they did decide to cut the holes into the wood ceiling panels.
