Is there such a thing as a vent filter?
I frequently camp in dusty places. I asked Mr Google... Couldn't find what I'm looking for. I'm looking for an air filter I can put in my FanTastic, (or in my bathroom vent) whether it's top or...

Many (many) years ago I took my EuroVan Camper to Burning Man. If you haven't been there.... well, it's the very definition of "dusty place".
Anyway, I did exactly what you are describing; I made my own filter using a large cardboard box with 5 pleated-paper HVAC filters duct-taped to the outside of it. I used the finest ones I could find, then I wrapped the whole thing with several layers of tacky-backed air filter media from McMaster_Carr as pre-filter to prevent the paper from clogging. A couple of bungees to pulled it down snug against the roof surface.
I ran my Maxx-Fan for vent on the intake setting 24-7 which kept the interior of the van positively pressurized just enough to keep the dust out. At the end of a full week out there I had no dust in the van's heater vents, window sills, door gaskets,etc. I was amazed at how clean the inside of the van stayed.
Hope this at least provides some food for thought.
