Air-8 Filter

Has anyone found a simple way to source the replaceable filter in the Air-8.  The Truma site doesn't seem to offer parts and contacting Nucamp seems to be overkill to me for a simple filter.  I did search the forum and the one part number shown here didn't seem to go anywhere.

    What are the measurements of the filter?  depth?  I've thought of investigating an aftermarket filter sine we are picking up a 320S next week.  A youtube  video gave me the impression that I might be able to find a auto cabin filter substitute for replacement but after looking at your photo of the filter, it may not be a cabin-type filter...

    @SweetlyHome and @Passport the Air8 is an Elwell product and not Alde/Truma. Perhaps contacting them at elwell.com might produce results.

    @Passport, as @dragonsdofly suggests I did at the time ultimately contact Elwell.  I was negligent when I did not post the results of that conversation.  I spoke to one of their technicians.  As I remember it being explained the filter is a custom size made for them.  They will (would have) sold me one on special order at $50-$60?

    The tech also said it is not intended to be changed but cleaned using a vacuum which I have now done a couple of times.  It seems quite durable.  My greater concern is the pre-filter mesh in the green cover which is very delicate.

    I don't have the size recorded.  You will have lots of time to measure and search before you need one in your new T@B.  It's not something like a fuse or water pressure regulator needed on day one.
