In between fireworks this weekend, I decided that the interior of the Gypsy Vanner needed sprucing up. Basically a dusting job that ended with cleaning the top of the dash. Well, most of the dust was pollen that came in through the blower vent. I’ll try to add a cabin air filter before the blower but it will be a custom job if it’s possible. With the close proximity in a small coach, have any of you installed an air cleaner/purifier inside to improve air quality? Something like this? If so does it work, is it worth it, or should I just keep a cleaning routine

Good idea! We have not installed anything like that, but sure wish we had room on the dash. Since we live on a gravel road, everything in our B always has a coat of dust.

The Hepa filter will do a good job; you ought to get one with just a Hepa filter. The ionic portion of the thing is an added cost that isn't all the best thing for you, no matter how much money Smarter Image spends for advertising. They make ozone in the air you greathe. See here about ion generators.

Baywoodbill, thanks for the link. I guess maybe this or this would be a better choice. I was especially interested in using one for winter camping. Not sure how effective it would be with windows open in summer.

Looks like safer choices.

We used this "Ecobox" air purifier in our TT, hotels, etc. It is small, but powerful! Uses a patented process that creates an aerosol form of hydrogen peroxide, that disinfects surfaces as well. We also have the larger unit, known as "Fresh Air" in our home for years. Our kids and family hardly ever get sick now, rarely even a cold. Check out our buddy's website in the above links. I think he has an email link on the website if you need help/ have other questions.
