T-Man,

One should use the items he feels are  best for his situation.  I am sure these are okay filters.  But the Parker Racor filters are the pick of the litter, very high quality filters.

Everything can be made cheaper.  Can I interest you in 3 Integra motorhomes for the price of one Foretravel?

All the best.

According to Killer Filters the 104-1214 is an exact replacement for the Racor R12T with 10 micron rating.
Amazon doesn't have the best product descriptions...............pack of three  (3 X 10 = 30)?  LOL

The bowls alone are worth the price.  You can always throw the filter elements away and use Racor, but Racor gets about $40.00 or more for just one bowl.

I ordered earlier today and Prime says already shipped and be here Thursday. 
The only thing "fer sure" about Amazon is the price.

The filters arrived yesterday and unfortunately they say 30 micron on the canister.
I will be calling Killer Filters when they open to find out why they told me the 104-1214 was a 10 micron filter, and advertise it as a replacement for the Racor R12T.

The bowls look great,  so maybe I'll just  keep them and throw the filters away.

I just got off the phone with the rudest woman at Killer Filters.  She denied that the R12T replacements I have are 30 micron as Amazon advertised,  said they only have 10 micron replacements in house and that probably they were re-labeled by Amazon.
The fact that I had contacted Killer Filters prior to purchasing the R12T replacements to ascertain the 10 micron rating made no difference to her, as she repeatedly told me to contact Amazon.

My advice to anyone is DON'T BUY KILLER FILTERS.  Worst customer service ever!!
Nothing ventured, nothing gained..............getting 2 new Racor R12T filters today and keeping the bowls from KF.
