Stink Bug Max Air Dilemma

[electrician549]

The last time I went camping our camper was covered in stinkbugs. Today when I went out and tried to pull a little fresh air through the camper with the Max Air it ran just long enough to hear the stink bugs bouncing around in the fan blade. Is there a way to pull down the screen and clean them out or do I take off the knobs and disassemble the bottom plate? Either way they have to go.

I take the lazy way out with those little puppies. I just "pluck" them through the screen, and hope they land outside...it sometimes takes a number of trys.

I have vent covers on my regular vents. I do the same with those, hoping they land on the roof between the vent and the cover. The next rain should wash those little boogers away.

Not sure which fan you have but on mine, the round screen over the fan blade just pulls off. If yours is the same as mine, if you look at the screen, you should see 2 little bumps where you can put your fingers in to pull it off.

Yep!

Thanks for your replies! I was a little hesitant of just yanking the screen off and breaking the clips but that is what did the trick. The fan runs now and bug free.
