Needs another option for “Yes, it’s built into the rig”
Ditto here. Even my little trailer has a central vac in it… and judging from the times I have used it so far while prepping the thing, it’s pretty awesome, truth be told.
Hang on, I’ll check with the wife.
She says it’s built in.
Love your answer, Cancel.
Built in!!!!!
Yes cordless. Requirement with dogs.
Always carry the Dyson stick vac mounted in a closet, plus the Class A has a build in vac. With the two Labs, vacuuming daily a must!
Roomba!
Our vacuum cleaner is built in our motor home so we always have it with us.
Portable Dyson. 4 cats requirement!
We have a robot vac. It cleans inside while we sit outside and enjoy our day. Win Win!
I put my old V6 Dyson stick vacuum in the motor home but based on issues with it yesterday it might be time to get a new one for the home and bring the V11 to the motorhome. I love the idea of using a robo-type vac but where do those of you who have one dock it to keep it out of the way? (I have an older 38′ Newmar.)
We had poor results- I wouldn’t buy another. It was in our house.
Drew, I like the one in our house (as you say it won’t take the place of a regular vacuum) but I just can’t imagine where it would fit in our MH.
Love our eufy robo vac for the sticks and bricks just not enough room in the small 5er for one.
Skip, we have one Eufy for downstairs and one for upstairs but I seldom use the upstairs one. I suppose I could just pick it up when it is done and “park” it in the coat closet but I just don’t see where I could keep it out in the living area. I agree not made for my MH either. 🙁
I clicked no, we have a built in vacuum and a small shop vacuum.
Dyson, cordless rechargeable!!
Have built in, it is a great system.
We have 2. One light weight corded for the floors and carpet and 1 for picking up water off of those floors when accidents happen.
Central vacuum system.
Central vacuum system and handheld Dewalt vacuum.
Dirt devil cordless rechargeable unit. It’s small and easy to store and works great .
We have a central vac and it works great. No need to add another vacuum.
Electric vacuum
Since we do not have carpet in our trailer, a good fine bristle broom and a hand held battery operated vac works fine. I have a Ryobi vac and the batteries also fit my drill.
In our large RV – yes. In our small camper size RV – no. Going commercial, we like the Rocket vacuum as the top detaches and stores next to the motorized brush making it small enough to fit in our closet between hanging clothes. Plus that top functions independently as a hand-held vacuum.
We didn’t care for dragging out the central vac hose so we brought our small Dyson from home with us this winter and it is great! Great for pet hair too!
We used to but our rig has one built in and it is amazingly easy and cleans terrific. Very happy!
Our rig has a built in one that works great…so no need to! Also, we replaced all of our carpeting with wood floors (yea!) so most of the time I just sweep the dirt right back out where it came from!
Both of our RVs came with a central vacuum. Our previous RV had Dirt Devil’s version and was great for keeping the inside of the RV clean. The new RV’s system is by InterVac and it can be used inside OR outside the RV. The compartment holding the dustbag is in a storage compartment on the driver side. It has a receptacle allowing one to plug the vacuum hose directly into the compartment. Further, the hose is long enough to reach all but the last bay on each side. That presents no problem because the last bay on the driver side contains the DEF tank. The last bay on the passenger side contains the chassis batteries and some engine filters. We also carry and use a broom and dust pan, a Swiffer with associated wet and dry pads, and a Swiffer duster. I’m sufficiently an*l to vacuum and dust the inside of the RV daily, and wet-mop with the Swiffer at least weekly.
TWO!! A shark brand stick vac with beater brush, etc. And a small wet/dry for crevices, cleaning the storage bays, truck cab, etc.
Ours is built in, so yes.
I never thought about a vacuum in my RV, but looking at the posts I must be the one living in a vacuum.
Yes we do. We carry a little Dust Devil. It can be a hand vac or a upright. When we are boondocking it gives me the excuse to run the generator.
Yes, we carry a small upright. My wife is a clean-a-holic. Shoes are to be left outside. The outside carpet is swept every morning.
We carry two, a stick vac and a hand held. We also have a broom and a Swifter mop.
I’m like Richard, Shark stick vac and a hand held but with a dust mop and swiffer.
I bought a Dyson V6 Animal with powerhead, and it has done a very good job over a decade. of service.
Does an onboard one count? How about a Rumba? If you camp in the desert or have pets that shed you’ll need something, but we don’t have any carpeting.
I bought a corded Shark duo stick for pets. It is a slim vacuum that is amazing on the carpet in our bedroom. I hate carpet! I wish we had none. The ease of doing all flooring. The attachment for our truck seat cover.
I replaced all the carpet with vinyl plank flooring, found an Oreck portable vac and installed a VacPan. I use a broom to sweep the dirt into the VacPan.
I have a battery powered Hart stick vac that stays in the camper. Can be used as a handheld or cleaning the larger floor areas. Same battery as my tools so it’s convenient.
Our Montana came with a central vacuum.
