RV Vacuum Cleaner?

Question: I am looking for a good, but small vacuum for our new RV. Those I have looked at seem to have insufficient power suction.

I would like something compact in size, but with enough power and flexibility to clean the RV floors and upholstery. Do you have any suggestions?




Answer:

You might want to check out the central vacs at Camping World. We use the Dirt Devil CV950 Central Vacuum.

Some people put the unit in a bay and install things so the just the hose connection is in a convenient place inside the RV. We didn't bother going to any trouble and instead just keep the unit in a cabinet, with the hose and attachment in a nearby storage drawer.

It makes a lot of noise, but it works well. We had tried other small vacs before and as you say, nothing that is small enough for a motorhome has enough suction. We have had the central vac for several years now and are very pleased with it.

Make sure the unit comes with the RugRat attachment - or purchase it separately - it really works well on carpet.
