+1 to Stephen.  Mine were in a drawer sealed up nice and tight in a plastic bag.  Didn't know what there were for a year till I saw a post on here.  Not sure why they're not installed at the factory (Dometic or Forest River) or dealer.  I've never bought a car that didn't have an air filter!

They should be somewhere in your R-Pod unless your dealer removed them while doing the dealer prep. They may be squirreled away in a non-obvious place. If you did not get them, contact your dealer.

Why are these not provided when you buy the pods new? Mine also did not come with the filters...

+1. There are two screws each at front and back, two screws where the side vents are and two more that are hard  to find on the sides. You will need to look carefully to find them all. I took mine off to put closed-cell foam on the inside to quiet it down a little. It is still loud, but not quite as loud, especially if I shut the big vent in the middle.

It is not hard to remove the inside cover, but there are more screws then you think.... Some are hard to find. I just wash my filters now after every trip and it seems fine.

So...we realize we have been running our AC in our Pod without those filters installed!
Has anyone removed the interior shroud and cleaned above where the filters install?

Got them inserted---- Thumbs Up

Thanks

That's why I specified "two curved slots." Ermm On mine, they are on the end toward the front end of the R-Pod.

Unfortunately, both ends are curved.

The curved end StephenH is talking about is the one with the solid plastic end cap that also has a finger hold molded into it.
