Alert Air Quality in a Motorhome

[sheridany]

@TJ&LadyDi that is great to hear that it’s working so well for you. The air quality here in the Bay Area is very bad and we bought two more and have them running continuously in the S&B. Replacement filters are also available on AMZN. Hopefully, your house is safe up in Washington.

Yes, the sticks-and-bricks is in a very safe area; fire-wise at least. Talked to one of our neighbors yesterday and he said the smoke was pretty bad but everything else is fine. At the house, we have a whole-house electrostatic air filtration system that works very well. That, however, doesn't help us when we're on the road.

Thanks for the LEVOIT recommendation; it was a winner.

The air filter @sheridany recommended a while back on this thread is saving the day here in Polson.

It has been a life saver for me in CO.

Ok, one reason is all the plastic in the MH gassing, it's very apparent in cars, the inside of the windshield to this day in my 2013 Jeep and the Acura get a haze on them and about once quarter need to clean inside. I suspect this is also true in the MH, and we have lots of smoke particles trapped in the atmosphere from all the fires out west, and all places in USA are being affected to various degrees, so again that is some of it. We have this device at home, and the little portable unit in the MH. Home Triad Aer | Triad Aer Home - The Worlds Best Air Purifier - Have a friend who recommended it to us, his wife used to be Flight attendant and she has allergies, the little unit she put into the hotel room, and she never had issues. I like that it's cleanable, and for the house can clear the air in about couple of hours (2300 sqft). They say it kills airborne covid-19 virus as well. Almost any UV light will kill it, but some frequencies are better at doing that, note, those frequencies are very bad for eye's and skin, so make sure any unit you use is shielded. Check YouTube for how airliners are doing it, you will be amazed, still aint going to fly.

I put the one from home in for the last trip. Used it once or twice. Left it home this time. I perceive no difference. Of course my windows are always open. I no wind, I have the fans running. So there is no stale air.

So who has this film on the walls, think it has to do with making plastic parts with the printer? How about thise using laser printers.

I’ll have that order form signed in 2 hours. You might not own a MADP anymore but a Ferrari would be a lot of fun. You would be the envy of Polson. Don’t worry I got you covered.

It takes up too much valuable storage space.?

Neal ..... another $100 you made me spend on clean air in the coach. It really does make a difference.

Joined the "filter club" a couple of months ago. Nice filter, it has 3 speed settings from butterfly to jet plane! Need to find a better place for it than on the sink though.

The one I have is a couple three years old by Holmes with cleanable filter. I keep the windows open most of the time so don't use it all the time. However as of late I have a neighbor that has been burning his trash in the fire and so close up the rig and turn it on. Does wonders with smoke. I recommend any HEPA filter.

I use the air oasis in the motorhome and it’s on the counter left of the televator. Very quiet. I probably should have a second one in the back but don’t know where I’d put it and not sure it’s needed. The single unit may be sufficient.

If I had a neighbor burning trash next to me, they would quickly be a former neighbor...one way of another.

@TJ&LadyDi I am very settled in here and have a great view where no one can park closer than a football field from me. NO! I will not give it up. However I may complain to the ranger, there are trash bins here, just haven't decided what avenue to take.

I would look into maybe installing some type of charcoal intake and / or exhaust filter in the system. Another filter you might look at is a filter used in a paint booth. They have sticky
substance on them to trap particles. Just my thoughts.

My mother needed a HEPA filtration/air purifier as she has allergies so I found this one for her, top rated on Amazon. I liked it so much I got myself one for my bedroom in my house. I leave the Air Oasis I got a few months ago in the RV. Been using this two days now and I'm very pleased with it and it's very quiet. I think this would be idea for a RV as well as it's the right size for typical living space inside a RV.

Edit: Appears to be the same one @sheridany recommended in post #4

About a year ago, and after reading the reviews, I bought one of these. It ran in my RV for days at a time and I never noticed any difference. Always wondered what the big deal was as mine didn't do much. So it got tossed into the closet (in the RV) where it stayed until today when we were cleaning the RV out.

I sat it on the counter, turned it on and noticed that very little air was coming out. Again I wondered why everyone was giving this thing such good reviews. So I thought to myself, maybe it pulled so much dog hair out of the air that it's clogged and needs to be cleaned. So I pulled the bottom off and pulled out the filter. lol, it was sealed in a plastic wrapper. Who knew? So I took the filter out of the plastic bag, reinstalled it, and turned on the filter.

Well heck yes! It's kicking now!

I really worry about myself sometimes.
