What do you use to cover vent returns on the floor when they are not in use? We are not RVing yet but plan to RV with a cat and want to keep its fur out of the floor vents. Thanks. :)

Awesome advice! My husband has some of the thin magnet material already! Problem solved. :).
Thanks again!

We actually just took the vents off and used that Press n Seal stuff (like saran wrap kinda). We tore off a piece that was obviously too big for the hole and laid it across it. We then just put the vent back on, screwed it in and cut around the edges to get the excess off. Fairly simple and cheap.

I just replaced 4 out of 5 of them with ones that can be opened and closed , I did have to trim the floor to make the opening a little bigger to get the to fit but the new ones are much nicer than the factory installed ones . the 5th one I could not replace do to the duct was not wide enough to accomodate the larger vent cover.

Interesting. I never would have thought of press and seal. Hmm. Thanks.

More questions. What is thin magnet material? And wouldn't covering the returns place stress on your furnace or AC?

I don't know about the strain. Perhaps someone else can answer that.

I'm not sure if both of you are referring to the same thing, but the original poster's comment was related to when the furnace is not in use. Basically, the covers then primarily prevent things from falling into the vents. When it came time to heat the coach again, the magnetic material (or whatever else us used) would simply be removed, or in the case of closeable grates, reopened.

Oh thanks, Terry. Duh, I should have figured that out!
