> Terry,We have a vac like that and put it under the couch. It is plugged into a outlet that can be turned on or off by the sink.I made an adaptor that is at floor level that the vac hose plugs into. With our wood floors you just turn on the vac and sweep everything to the adaptor. The vac is easily removed to carry around and empty. Photos below

There are enough GMCs scattered about that you'd certainly be able to find something that would work for you within a few hundred miles at most. One of the worst things that could happen is that you buy one of the "almost road-worthy" coaches and find out halfway home, which of course will be in the middle of nowhere, that you're broken down and there's an expensive problem. Your financial calculations and budget would go out the window.

I've also found that a number of people have a lingering idea of what the coach was once worth and haven't quite gotten that number recalibrated for its current condition. I've driven by coaches that have obviously been sitting outside for years, stopped to inquire, and found that some people will say they need to get $20K for it.
