13.5"x7.5" air filter

Hello All,

My 2014 has the rear A/C return air supplied by 2 registers in the ceiling. Between the ceiling and grill is a foam filter stapled to a piece of cardboard.

The filter material is foam, you can vacuum it, but because of the cardboard can not be washed. It is 13.5" x 7.5".

Local Montana dealer (Camping World) is clueless.

Looking for a replacement filter to have on hand.

Jim

10x14x1 (9.5 x 13.5) Air Filter - Furnace Filter- MERV 8 (4 Filters)
there is this filter on amazon, you notice the size it is sold by, so look for a 10x14 filter first

Just go to Home Depot and buy a pack of window air conditioner foam filters. Trim them to fit. In the Duo-therm, the foam material is held to the inside of the grill by to ordinary rubber bands crisscrossed.

OK Guys lets start over.

racerjoe, this is NOT a 1" thick filter, it is a piece of foam stapled onto a piece of cardboard.
nosticks, this is NOT a Dometic filter. It is something that Keystone cobbled together to quieten down the return air noise.

The filter fits between the return grill and the ceiling and is about 1/4" thick. I may, like suggested, just buy some foam and make my own.

Jim

That is what I plan to do. I did wash mine once, they came clean and the paperboard survived

I have that same material in the return air on our cab tractor. check with a new holland dealer for the material and make up your own frame. actually, if you find a piece to cut, make it the full size and squeeze it between vent and wall like new holland does

Wow Jim you got the top of the line filter, mine are just a couple of thin pieces of foam without the cardboard. I have not had to clean mine yet but when I do I will just blow them out with compressed air.

I guess yours are some of the annual Montana upgrades.....

I just removed the foam from the cardboard and washed the foam. Works just as well when it is not stapled to the cardboard. john

Hi Guys,

I contacted Keystone and got the part number for the filter. Keystone # 167131. Called my local Camping World. Got the same brain dead kid I talked to earlier. Gave him the part number. Dugh, we got nothing like that. Do you have a price. Dugh, no.

So much with dealing with Keystone's local retail dealership.

So I went to Lowe's, bought 2 packs of replacement window a/c filters. Makes 6 replacement filters for $3.20.

Jim
