Filiter Minder Pegs in Red
On the trip home from North Carolina after purchasing my coach, I noticed the Filter Minder was fully in the red. So I stopped in Oklahoma and purchased a new air filter, Fleetwood #AH8503. When I ...

A 537449 has the most flow of any Donaldson disposable filter I could find that might fit although the diameter is bigger.

I would check your filter minder by resetting and then rev the engine to 1500 and check the reading which should still be in the green and then again when you rev to 2000.
*A fleetguard AH8505 appears to be the same size and it is rated 1730 CFM. This may be your best option if you cannot go with a 13.5" Diameter.
PS: There is one on Ebay for $200 but it is listed as a 537449 replacement. Save your current air filter as I'll be in AZ this fall :W
Okay, you caught my dyslexic moment Ivylog. Yes, it is 537448, not 488.
I could possibly fit a 13.5" can in place if I installed new straps. There is room. But I am still confused. You found the Donaldson 537448 having 1200cfm and the 537449 having 1500cfm. But the 537448 crosses to Fleetguard AH8503 (which is what I bought) and on your link "1730" to the Fleetguard Air Filter Chart, the AH8503 is a 1420cfm filter. The AH8503 is also an 11" can so how it can be a 537449 (13.5" can) replacement? Way to complicated for my feeble mind.
But what does stand out in what you came up with is the AH8505 has 22% more air flow in an 11" can and I don't have to rework the straps to make it fit. That seems like a good application to me, regardless whether is a total solution. The filter minder might still be bad, but more cfm's is easier air flow any way you cut it.
Thanks for chasing this down and I will save my AH8503 for you but you have to be here by April 1st to pick it up or I will be long gone. :)
