Does anyone sell a conversion kit to allow using a disposable paper filter on a Coleman A/C? Looks like a 16" x 16" filter would be the size. Otherwise I feel a project coming on.

Just keep in mind the air filter is meant to remove large particulates and allow small particulates to pass through the evaporator. It is not meant to clean the air you breathe. A "paper filter" by its very nature will create a large restriction, reduce air flow and increase head pressure in the compressor. That is not a good thing.

A paper filter will be a significant flow restriction.
