FilterTime RV air filter 17x20 Cut-to-Fit MERV 6 — trims to fit and maintains airflow

FilterTime RV Cut To Size is a 17"x20" MERV 6 air filter you trim to fit your RV AC return, capturing pet dander, pollen and dust while maintaining strong airflow.

Designed for RV owners who need an easy-to-install, made-in-USA replacement for a standard furnace or air-conditioning return, this 17"x20" Cut To Fit Filter by FilterTime saves time and money by trimming to the exact dimensions of your RV's filter slot. It balances filtration efficiency with airflow—rated MERV 6 to remove common airborne particles without over-restricting circulation—and is independently tested for performance. The filter is stable for typical RV use up to 90 days and was developed by outdoorsmen and NASCAR figures who prioritized durable, practical solutions for mobile living.

How do I trim the FilterTime RV filter to my RV's exact size?

Trimming the 17"x20" panel is straightforward: measure the old filter or the filter compartment, mark the panel, and cut with scissors or a utility knife. The media holds its shape when cut, so edges stay firm and the filter fits snugly in the return grille.

• Measure twice: width, height and depth of the slot.
• Mark the media side; cut along marked lines with sharp scissors.
• Insert trimmed filter with arrow pointing into airflow direction.
• Check edges for gaps and reseal or add a small shim if needed.

Will a MERV 6 FilterTime filter affect my RV's airflow or AC performance?

MERV 6 provides a good balance between filtration and airflow for most RV HVAC systems, reducing common contaminants without creating excessive resistance. The FilterTime design and independent testing confirm consistent airflow suitable for standard RV furnaces and air conditioners when replaced as recommended.

• MERV 6 captures dust, pollen and pet dander while allowing efficient airflow.
• Recommended replacement every 90 days under normal conditions.
• Works well in systems not designed for high MERV-rated media.
• Maintains energy efficiency and reduces strain from overly restrictive filters.

How easy is installation and what maintenance does it need?

Installation takes seconds once the filter is cut to size—slide the trimmed panel into the filter slot with the airflow arrow pointing into the HVAC unit. Inspect the filter monthly and replace every 90 days or sooner in dusty or pet-heavy environments to keep indoor air comfortable and systems running efficiently.

• Quick install: trim, place, and secure—no tools required beyond scissors.
• Visual check monthly for accumulation or damage.
• Replace after heavy use or visible soiling before the 90-day mark.
• Made from durable media that resists collapsing when cut.
