RE: Furnace Vents
I have been looking everywhere for screens to cover the furnace vents on my 1979 Fleetwood. This last winter mud daubers got into my furnace and built a large nest. Now I have to remove and tear apart my furnace to clean it out.
I have looked everywhere I could find for the stainless steel screens sold for preventing mud daubers from getting in through these vents. But I cannot find any that will fit. Here are my vents:

The diameter of the back plate is 5 inches.
Anyone have a solution?
Also, does anyone have any hints on removing and replacing the furnace?
