The last owner replaced the original eng air filter system with one of those K&N filter . And i just don't think it's good enough . I have called FT, and was told good luck finding and old filter housing . All help appreciated .
Donaldson still makes a Konepac style filter housing if that is what you are after. You could pretty much use any housing that flows enough air for your engine.

Interesting to note that Donaldson states this is old technology though and recommends newer better air filtration though.
Not only is it not good enough, it can cause serious issues - it just doesn't filter adequately and can let "undesirable material" to flow through and into the engine. You're very wise to replace it with a real filter.
Why try to replace the can? Cross the K&N to a NAPA or any other brand part number. K&N number should be on the filter somewhere. Just a thought. David
I figured they removed the entire air intake system and probably mounted a K&N cone filter right to the turbo. ANY filter you can put on would be better if this is the case. (K&N probably doesnt make a filter for our housings)
The oem system would be best, but any durable, heavy duty paper filter would be better than a K&N. Just make sure it matches the oem flow rate (1650CFM)
A Donaldson Duralite or Ecolite air filter would be my choice. They are built into the housing and you replace the whole thing based on restriction, never cleaning the element. They are affordable and easily sourced/adapted to your engine. even the wrong paper filter is better than any k&n filter.
Thanks every one for the help. I'm getting this K&N off my coach ASAP!!!
Where are you located? I have dozens of housings we could retrofit to your rv. my shop is at IAD airport, sterling, VA.
