Bad air quality--finally taped a house filter on the A/C

Its the cheap kind ive had it for years. Hope its decent for smoke particles. What are the negatives besides tape residue and reminding me of wearing a mask? Im out of blue tape. Just got to the trail...

Is that on the Return side?
YES...then you will end up with diminished return airflow which can lead to Evap Coil Icing up especially with fan speed on low

RV A/C Units are 'recirculating' units...inside air gets sucked in/cooled down/discharged back inside

You source of smoke is via bad slide seals, open roof vents, open windows, entry door leaks etc
It's not from the A/C Unit.
