Airstream renumbers everything they use with their own numbering system. It would drive me nuts! Here is a Dometic parts list. Non of the Airstream numbers match these.

It looks like we have the 11,000 BTU Upper Unit, Controls Required - 640310 and the ADB Wall T-Stat Required - 3310742.000 or 3310742.014

Great! it seems to be the same filter as the Airstream one and it may be that I am the only one that is missing it.

I tried to upload it to the files section but it says I don't have permission. Would you upload it into the files section so everyone that doesn't have a manual for the new trailers could access it?
Just went out to trailer and checked . On our 2013 ,19 ft , that is our AC . We have the filter and it was dirty . Going to see if we have the manual . If we don't , we can print it out . Thankyou and the filter is now clean . I noticed on others trailers, at least the AC vent inside looked different . But that is ours even back then . Pat

I used a butter knife at one edge and carefully pushed in . There are tabs that hold it in . Pat

There are 5 small tabs, 2 on the bottom which is towards the rear of the trailer and 2 on the sides and one in the middle towards the front of the trailer. A butter knife pried the filter off.

You can open it with your fingers.

Pic 1) open the front vent
Pic 2) see that small insert in the center? put your finger in the bottom of it and push down.
Pic 3) That open slot on the right is what your finger is pushing into.
The filter panel just pops right out.

Pic 4) I bought some filter material, cut it to fit and inserted it into the return air area. It works great and doesn't restrict the air flow. $6 and I had enough material to make about 8 filters.
https://www.lowes.com/pd/Filtrete-Co...ilter/50124672

The filter material is about an inch thick and cannot suck into the return air.
