We have an 07 Intrigue 530 so it might be the same.
The ceiling panels just under the air conditioners are removable. The little wood strip pries down along with one of the fabric ones. They are held in by little bent metal springs and don't seem to be able to be removed but are. There are four screws holding the mirror plate to the ceiling and that section comes down to reveal a foam filter.
I got a picture from Lee here on the forum but it didn't match my ceiling and I was afraid to pry on pieces so I had Premier in Junction City do it while working on some other stuff.
Quite frankly it wasn't worth cleaning the three foam filters that time or a year later when I did it myself. The foam isn't going to stop anything but something like a fly or bee.
The most important thing is to go a little farther and remove the plastic from the whole thing and tighten the four screws that hold the air condition to the roof after you get the filter off off.. I had one loosen up and leak and couldn't figure out how they were attached. Took me a couple of hours in the middle of the night to figure out they weren't attached from the outside but from the ceiling and get it tightened down to stop the leak.

Got to agree with Mark. I quit worring about those filters . . . weren't dirt at all after a couple of inspections. It is a bear to figure out which ceiling sections to pull on to get them off (I have a picture of poor quality, if I can find it). To check on AC mounting security I go on the roof to test to see if they're loose.
