I'm sure glad I got it. and remember, by the time they give you the quote on the whole shebang, you'll not pay the full 400 for it.

My wife sure likes ours it works great and the little room that it takes up in the cabinet is less than the room a full size vaccum will take up.

I would not be without the central vac. It works well in my coach, and it sure beats hauling around an upright vac. I keep the attachments in the washer/dryer closet in the bag they came with.

We use our central vac all the time. Powerful little thing. We also keep a Eureka extending handle upright on board.

My wife says "Never leave home without it". As the others have said it beats taking a upright with you.

I do all the vacuuming in both our homes (Shari hates doing it), and I think the central vac is well worth it. Only disadvantage is if you're dry camping and you don't have a generator, then a rechargeable is good to have along.

We did not get it in our 2955RL...the dealer wanted around $600.00 or more for it. We ordered ours from CW for $298.00. All my hubbie had to do is cut a hole in the cabinet(it was already framed up for the central vac) He inserted it and plugged in it(there was also the plug too!) So we saved a bundle and all he had to do was just a little.

The fact is if you don't get it, you have to tote a regular vac with you. They are huge compared to the in wall space that the central vac takes. I love ours. The hose reaches everywhere. And like someone said by the time you get the total on the coach, you don't end up paying for it. YOU CAN NEGOTIATE![ Remember they want to sell you a 5th wheel and if they think you are not going to take it because of the central vac, they WILL throw that in!

We ordered it in or 3475 and it's great. We debated ordering it since we had a small canister vac from our 2750 but are glad we got it. It has great power compared to the canister we had. Go for it!!
To Bob and Lee. We had gotten the suction activated beater bar for our little canister vac but it didn't have enough power to keep it running. The carpet would stop the bar. BUT the central vac in our new trailer runs the beater bar just fine. It's not as good as an electric beater bar but it does the trick.

We like our central vac. We have a dog that sheds, so it keeps things very clean. You don't have to take up precious space with a hand vac or upright. It works well, and we keep the attachments under the bed. Haven't bought bags for it yet. We hear they are expensive.

Kevin and Denise,
We have the central Vac and love it. The package of bags is a bit expensive but also included is the filters that need to be replaced ever so often. I think every sixth bag, I can't remember for sure. We don't have pets and haven't had to change bags very often. If you are on the road a lot, it would be worth it to not have to lug a big vac along.
