Wife got me this for Christmas to use in the GMC. For those of us that don't have the central vac system, it's just the right size to fit in any of the storage cabinets so it can go along for the ride and not be in the way. It does need 110V, but a decent sized inverter or the generator will power it. Much better than a dustbuster type vac and can handle liquids too. Only comes with one filter bag, so those who carry hairy pets may want to get a supply of bags.

I'm not sure the coach we are looking to purchase has a vacuum.
Thank you for sharing this.
Does anyone have/used this one?
Do you like it?

Still hoping and more importantly praying to be able to build a garage.

I have one similar to that for the boat that runs on 12v. Works well.
I think a wand type vacuum would work much better, unless you're OK with kneeling down/bending over to vacuum the whole floor.

Jeff,
Do you tihnk one could use PVC as a long wand to make cleaning the floor easier?
Jim,
What a great idea! Thank you for taking the time to share pictures too.

A piece of schedule 40 should work fine.

The hose it comes with is a little short, but that adds to it's portability to be useful elsewhere. 1 1/4 Hoses and accessories/extensions from any old vacuum can be added to the basic vacuum. Good suction and not in my way...I like it!

This is the one we use: http://amzn.com/B00DEKVL42
We pulled out the central vac as it wasn't as effective and takes up substantially more space. The nice thing about this one being rechargeable is that it can be easily used outside as well. We charge it at home before we leave and usually get about a week out of it.
