Basement Air Filter direction

When installing a new filter for the basement air, I noticed an arrow on the side of the filter. I should of paid attention as to the direction the arrow was going when I took it out, but I did not see it. Is there a correct instillation/direction for the air filter? Does the air come from the bottom up or threw the vent in the coach out the bottom to ground?

Thanks

the return air is sucked back into the basement air unit. the arrow should point toward the a/c unit

Not to hijack this thread, but this just reminded me that I should change my filter in the MH I just purchased and at this time it is stored 3 hours away, can someone tell me what size filter I have in my new to me 2001 Itasca Suncrusiser 32V with basement air?

According to the 2001 Suncruiser Owner's Manual (page 102 of the pdf) you need a 14" x 20" x 1" filter.

Yep, that's your return air vent and the arrow should be pointed down.

Easy way is the arrow points the direction the air is flowing.

This is very true. I use the thin green colored ones.
