2008 Country Coach -- How to replace HVAC filters?

I assume there are some air filters on the coach for the 3 HVAC zones.

Where are these filters? Are they on the roof top units? Are they replaceable filters like you would buy for a home or are they something special and different?

The coach blows nice and cold air, but I have personally never changed the filters. Maybe some dealers did it with service over the years but I have no clue they are replaced (if they even exist). Please advise if you know of where Country Coach (2008 Affinity) motorhomes would have these. Thanks.

  • Under each AC unit there is a removable panel in the ceiling that gives you access to the filter. They can be cleaned, or replaced.
  • In our 2004 Country Coach each AC has it's own filter. In the ceiling there are clips in the return air by the vent. Press the clips to remove the cover for the filter. The filter is foam. You can either buy larger foam filters and cut them to fit or you can order the filters from RV suppliers in packages of 2. You can also wash them gently (they will stretch easily) to extend their use.
  • Odds are they have never been replaced. usually on a CC, you have a wooden/plastic decorative ceiling assbly with recessed lights in the center of the ceiling(front and bedroom). There are either hooks or bolts holding that assbly to the roof. It is then hinged usually on the pass side. You use a step ladder and find those bolts/latches. you remove them and the ceiling assbly tilts down. Once down, you will see the AC filters. They are usually 14 inch square filters. They will NOT be serviceable from the top side of the RV. Doug
  • Many of them are just foam rubber and you take them out from the access panel from inside the coach and you can rinse them off.
