Cleaning the floor vents

[drjjj]

We have been in our 2007 3400RL for almost five months now. Once again I seek the wisdom of the group. We are in the process of doing a top to bottom cleaning on the inside after having our youngest daughter (21 year old) and future son-in-law stay with us for two weeks during sloppy weather. In the process of cleaning the floors, I examined the floor vent in the bathroom and noticed that it has a considerable amount of dirt, sawdust, etc. in it that the central vac will not suck out. I can't figure out how to get the top of the vent off without possibly breaking it. The top of the small circular vent does rotate so that the airflow may be directed. Anyone know how to remove it for cleaning? As always, TIA for all of your great advice!

They pop out. We had them in our other rig. Take a screwdriver and gently pry up. If they break, you can replace them (we did). You may find that you have to use a wet rag to get what looks like sawdust out as the moisture tends to solidify it. I put a wet rag on the end of the screwdriver and was able to get it clean. You are lucky to have heat in your bathroom - we don't. Can get really cold in there!

Once the cover's off you may want to consider a small piece of fiberglass window screen material on the back side to keep "stuff" from falling in. I used rectangular ones in our previous TT. It keeps the debris from falling through so it can be vacuumed up.
