What kind of Vacuum cleaner do you keep in your Sunseeker?

We are not full timers, thinking of putting some kind of vacuum to use in the RV in lieu of just vacuuming it when we get home.

We also use the sealer bags / space saver bags that a vacuum would help

there.

Maybe a small shop vac?

Thoughts?

Our "W" came with a fancy Dyson, replete with big decals announcing that , that I promptly removed. It takes up way too much prime real estate in the compartment it was installed in...

I've used a Dirt Devil Ultra Corded Bagged Handheld Vacuum for several years in my RV's. Easy to store, doesn't require much space, and even picks up dog hair. I haven't tried it on a Space Saver bag yet but it has pretty good suction so I think it will work...

Our 2015 3010 came with a dyson. Very compact, rechargeable and has several attachments. I don't know the model #, but I believe I've seen it in Walmart for around $170. If my wife is happy with it, so am I!

Dirt Devil central vac. All you have to store is the hose and attachments.

We have a Dyson that I bought several years ago for the home and is compact and rechargeable. We take with us when traveling. Fits perfect in the closet.Plug into wall socket when we have full hook ups and only charge when needed then store. BTW never seen a Dyson for $150. Later RJD

We can do that with the Dyson also but choose the closet BTW the Dyson has better suction than any portable vac I've used. Later RJD

We have the same vacuum except ours came with a removable extension so you don't have to bend over. Easy to store.

clicky Eureka EasyClean Corded Hand-Held Vacuum

It's corded but easy to store under the bed and it's not too heavy. It uses user replaceable filters that you find cheap on the Internet.

2 years ago at Goshen, someone was selling one for an RV. Bought it and does a great job. Hide it under the seat for the dinette and hang near kitchen sink to use. Also got a really long wand that is great for doing under the slide!

(Land) Shark!!

We have a Shark for the camper and love it. We have 2 very hairy dogs. The one is a German Shedder, er...Shepherd and sheds 24/7/365. And is white. The Shark does a great job and is a upright/hand-held combination. Can't beat it!

Amazon.com - Shark HG57428C Rocket Vacuum, Gray/Blue - Household Upright Vacuums

What's a "Dyson"? LOL

Portable Dyson works great! Never have to charge it on short (less than a week) trips. Big benefit is making sure there are not pebbles when opening and closing slider, which will put scratches in your floor if you don't catch them.

We have a Simplicity Sport vacuum cleaner that we keep in our Sunseeker. It has a shoulder strap and is easy to manage in the RV. With the hose, I can use it to clean the cab and our toad. It comes with a range of nozzles and attachments not shown in the photo below so you can clean tight places. I plug the long cord in at the dinette and it reaches all over the coach. I keep it in a tote in the biggest compartment with other stuff that I don't use regularly.

Another vote for the Dyson, I like the portability of the unit. Easy to take outside and use inside the compartments and in the truck.
