There are three stainless steel replacement doors as options for the new Airstreams and a third party makes the bulbous screen shields to keep the wasps out of the gas appliances.

Here is a place where you can order stainless steel screens. I need to do this soon. My furnance was almost completely blocked by mud dubbers nests.

I put a dog flea collar in the opening every time I return from a trip.

Started this after a problem with mud dabbers never had a problem since using the flea collars. I think they keep out wasp also.

I've used the standard screens you can buy in RV stores over the furnace and water heater for years without problems. The springs they come with are hard to connect, so I just attached them with mechanic's wire. That type of wire rusts and has to be replaced eventually. The springs can snap out of your hand and scratch the aluminum. The screens are overpriced, but so is everything else at RV stores.

I wish they made them for the fridge vent, and maybe they do at even a higher price.

Have forget'n to reinstall after use but WNY wasps are only good to 45mph, they couldn't keep up on the Thruway.
