Tom,

I once moved a coach from California to Indiana. It had two filters inline. The tanks weer full of rust The first day I got 380miles before the inline Wix filter clogged up. the next day I got about the same distance and the inline filter in the carb clogged up even though the Big Wix filter was in line. Replaced it and about 500 miles later the big 0one clogged again. Every day I ended up- replacing the big WIX or the carb filter (on alternate days). With every filter replacement I got more miles that I had before.

My daughter was with me and she got to the point that she could replace the big filter in around 5 minutes and the carb filter in less than 10 minutes. Do NOT run without both filters in line or you will be removing the carb to clean the rust or whatever out of it. The rust on this coach was so bad that whenever you removed a fuel line to replace a filter red gasoline would come out of it.

So I suggest that you replace the carb filter and get a couple of spares for both the bigger main filter and the carb filters.
