Inline water filter direction

I have a 2016 international 23 fb airstream. I never installed the in-line water filter under the sink and forgot what direction the water flow is through the pipe. Can anyone tell me if it flows from The Wall to the cabinet door or from the cabinet door to the wall. Surprised it doesn’t say on the pipe that gets removed.

I'm not familiar with the layout of the 2016 International, but plumbing is plumbing, and it's all much the same.

In general, it's just like at home. The water line going to the faucet comes out of the wall and turns up toward the underside of the faucet.

To make sure you're installing the filter right-way-around, look at the underside of the cabinet countertop where the sink is located, and trace the cold water line back down to where the filter canister is.

And to make sure you don't forget for next time, take a Sharpie marker, and draw an arrow on the cold water line next to the filter canister, pointing toward the faucet (i.e. in the direction of flow). In fact, that's not a bad idea for all exposed plumbing, color-coded by using blue arrows for cold water and red arrows for hot water.

Because I too have been waiting for the same answer before installing the filter.
Also wonder the best way to cut the line to install the filter. [emoji12]

Install the filter with the flow arrows pointing toward you.

Thanks, you are correct I was able to get my head in enough under the cabinet to confirm
