I was going to try this last year. Already have the filters and dont care what it looks like up there. Plan was to fold and staple a larger pleated filter into a box like shape and temp tape it to the roof. If i like it then maybe build a housing the accept a flat filter for easy replacement.
I got to think at some point a person with hvac experience has tinkered with their RV and measured the flow of a clean stock foam filter? Or maybe there is a spec on what the stock filter flows?
If we know the stock filter specs then it would be somewhat safe to use a residential pleated filter with equal flow at the correct velocity the RV a/c runs at on high?
Its dusty here and i want to keep the ducts clean is my motivation. I have an automotive radiator fan hot glued to a cardboard box with a pleated filter on it. Sometimes stick in the window and other times run in the trailer as an air filter.
