Title: Inspire Bird Nest

Some bird has stuffed leaves & grass into the Inspire engine air intake grill.

Two days ago the engine was run after a fuel filter change. The next day I saw the engine air intake cavity stuffed full of leaves & grass.
Now the plumbing from intake grill to air filter will have to be removed to check for leaves, grass, stems & whatever.
I am guessing some 1/4" hardware cloth will have to be secured on the existing grill to prevent another nesting event.

Eric,

If you are going to store your coach outside, you need to take procautions on all your openings or you will have spiders, birds and any other creature looking for a nice place to nest. Spiders have loved nesting in refrig. vents because they love the smell of propane. When you check your air intake also check the frig vent.
