I don't use it in the coach (yet) but I use a filter at home. It is a SEMI HEPA filter. That means it filters about 95% on one pass but at a higher volume of air flow. On multiple passes it outperforms a straight HEPA filter because it takes out the same amount out of much more air. The only time you really need pure HEPA filtration, is if you have to clean the air on one pass as in a clean air room for total joint replacement surgery, an isolation room, a clean air room for manufacturing etc. Semi HEPA will be more efficient an give you what you are looking for. Perhaps not all companies call them Semi HEPA, but look at or ask about the net effective filtration with multiple passes. The point is that there is much more air flow and filtration if you do not try to use all the energy to push the air through a full HEPA filter. End result is a larger volume of air that is just as clean.
For mildew an ozonator will clean up the coach beautifully. It will have to be big enough. The one I use is an Ozonator-Ionizer that I got from my brother when he was in network marketing plan for a very good product, but it cost me $600. Really works though. It will take the smoke out of a smoking motel room in 2 or 3 hours. |

The ozonator-ionizer model we have is a Salon Aire 3000. You can search for it by that name. Marketed by Alpine distributors. They also make a Salon Aire 1000. |

I have an ionization type air cleaner, and ionizing filters on my heat pump. I like them both very much, Keep the windows shut, no fantastic fans to draw dust and pollen laden air in, and the place stays spotless! Cheers...JJ |

I keep an ionic-breeze pluged in my Eagle all the time. It keeps things clean and smelling fresh. I have had some leaks in the back and even before I found and corrected them the ionic-breeze cleaned things up in just a few hrs.

And here I thought you all were talking about the engine air cleaner and not an interior coach airclearner/purifier. Silly me.
Actually I am going to have to install the engine air clearer INSIDE the coach underneath the driver's side dinette.
It of course will be vented from the outside air into the engine, but the actual cannister will be inside the coach.
Air intake noise is going to be a problem, I can already predict that. How I will quiet the beast's air suction remains to be seen.
All of this is because the bus in question is a Crown Super Coach ex-schoolie. Has a Big Cam Cummins pancake engine. Sorrry for my Bo Bo. |
