RV Air Filter
The air-conditioner and vent filters from RV Air are designed to replace the stock polypropylene filters. The company’s replacement filters incorporate 40 layers of unwoven polyester that’s sprayed with antimicrobial tackifiers to capture microscopic particles and help to remove allergens from the inside of your RV. The filters are said to be easy to install and can be used continuously for 90 days. RV Air sells filters for Coleman and Dometic air conditioners, as well as for generic and RV-specific vents. If you do not see your air conditioner listed, you can fill out a form on RV Air’s website to request help. Prices vary; for example, a single AC-101G filter for a Coleman Mach unit costs $16.95. Price for a single pack of AC-145G air duct filters is $17.95.
