The vacuum has to come along, it’s built in.
…with an eighty-pound hairy dog, absolutely!
a robot vacuum makes my life so much easier!
Stick vacuum
We only carry a small battery operated handheld vac. Uses the same battery as our drill and small ‘leaf’ blower. A lightweight broom and dust pan get the big stuff and the vac picks up what’s left.
Of course we “camp” and expect some dirt.
we own a restored 1978 GMC Royale and all GMC’s came with a built in vacuum as standard equipment .
Central vacuum
Makita stick vac. Uses same battery as my drill/driver. Works amazing well. When home we keep it in the house for quick cleanups.
Battery operated with hepa filter no dust like from the broom.
Dyson.
Dyson DC24 vacuum. Lightweight, & works great.
We actually have two. A light weight Shark and a Shark hand held.
Dyson stick
Had a Bissell detachable stick vacuum but it was corded and still weak suction.
Found a great deal on a Dirt Devil cordless rechargeable and it has done the job. 👍
Between trips I run through with our big Dyson just to make sure. 😊
I said yes. We have a Dirt Devil central vacuum in our RV. We keep a small storage container with extra bags and filters below the collection unit (located in a small storage bay). We keep the hose, extendable wand, and tools in a drawer with the laundry supplies. So, our vacuum is small but built-in. Great for inside the RV, but useless for the storage bays. We use our shop vacuum to clean the storage bays between trips.
My 5th wheeler has a central vac built in. Works well in the living room/kitchen, but is a bear to pull up into the bedroom.
My little broom does a good job, sometimes a wet rag really helps.
I think so. You’ll have to ask my partner. She’ll know as She knows everything!!
Some Days & Some Days more than others!!
Just sayin’………
Built in vac and carry a Shark Rocket.
Same with us
How could you not? Especially if going for more than a few days.
no carpet!
While we have a central vac in the rig we don’t like fighting the long kinking hose. We leave the hose and attachments for that at home and carry a small vacuum instead. We always fully clean the floors by vacuum followed by wet swiffer before bringing slides in.
We do use the little floor opening of the central vac system to suck up sweepings for quick cleanups. That function is pretty nice.
A Miele “ pet dander” canister vacuum, we have a built in but never use it, the bag is too small for the pet hair. Then when we return home my husband gets the STIHL cordless blower out. That’s the fun part.
Two! Shark mini stick vac and a small wet/dry vac. Both used regularly.
My dyson goes everywhere with us.
We have the full size Shark vacuum and a hand held Eureka vacuum.
We have a central vacuum in our rig, and I love it! Just have to grab the hose and I’m vacuuming in no time, and it does a great job.
Same here.
We have the central vac in the house and in the basement.
I answered ‘yes’ because I have a central vacuum system in our motor home.
NO CARPETS!!! Best invention since sliced bread. Have built in but have never opened the box and will never open the box!
I carry a Royal Scorpion handheld and a small stick vacuum that I purchased at a yard sale for $5 years ago. I boondock a lot and the dirt accumulates quickly.
I have a hand held Shark rechargeable.
We have a built in.
I have a good selection of Milwaukee M-18 & M-12 tools including a hand held M-18 vacuum. Earlier this year, I replaced the HEPA filter (the original filter lasted OVER 5 years).
Central vac but I hate that big heavy hose. Would rather have a vac and suitable storage location.
Not in my new to me much smaller rig!
While we have a central Vac, I bought a Roomba for the RV. However, we don’t have any carpeting inside the RV. I also have an air purifier which cuts down on the amount of dust we have.
We use a Dyson V6 Powerhead that I bought refurbished from Woot.com several years ago and have been very happy with it. We can hold the entire unit with one hand, but it certainly is NOT small.
We have an Armstrong vacuum, otherwise known as a broom
