LakeBob Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I haven't had to purchase any filters for my Dynasty yet. I'd like to get a replacement air filter. Anyone have a recommendation for a good vendor/supplier? I see that they are available on Amazon, however they appear to be damaged frequently upon receipt. Would be interested in reputable fuel and oil filter vendors as well. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Shantos Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Just bought a Air Filter for a 2008 Contessa from: atyourplacerepair.com Warrenton,Mo 63383 636/887-6799. Ask for Todd They have CURRENT stock of most any filter. Most importantly the products have recent manufactured dates! There prices are also good. Ship UPS. Just my recent experience and will buy there in the future. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 The prices for the Donaldson P537448 Air Filter are all over the map so I just pick the best one with shipping. I purchased both fuel and oil filters from Amazon last spring. They had the best prices for Fleetgard with free shipping. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacwjames Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 X2 on prices, they are all over the place and change. I used Goggle shopping "Froogle.com" and do a search and then compare and sort by price. Big range but the best price is from Amazon $159 I believe this is the same filter I use and in the past have purchased Baldwin filter. If you have a preference you can do a cross reference search for different brand. I have a filter minder on my coach but have never really seen it indicate I need to change a filter so I just change every ~3 years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketman3 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 NAPA wanted much more than everyone else for my air filter (although they had it in stock), I ordered from Fleetguard (free shipping over a certain $$$ amount - the air filter covered it). Arrived in a couple of days (fedex or ups). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just replaced mine with a Baldwin RS3548. I paid 60.00 for it. It had a carquest filter in it and the price on that was 159.00. I use Amazon for most everything however I do comparison shop with Google shopping also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you pull that off? That filter is not a Ecolite filter. *edit* Now I recall Monaco built a few diesel models with permanent air filter housings! You may be one of the lucky ones. The rest of us are now paying $200+ for our disposable can filters! Edited September 23, 2023 by 96 EVO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna ask you what an ecolite filter was .LOL I just purchased my coach and I am going through and bringing it up to my standards, it needs a lot of TLC. Believe it or not it had a birds nest in the old filter. The date written on the end of the filter was 2015. Forgot to add that I have a Donaldson Filter housing.

96 EVO Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Yeah, don't know why Monaco, and other coach builders didn't install permanent Donaldson filter housings in all their models ☹️! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything needs to be meticulous clean when your dealing with your air intake, past the filter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
