Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

LOOKING FOR A UTILITY VACUUM CLEANER
Permalink  

When we lived in the Sticks and Bricks home, I had a Craftsman shop vac that was a fabulous tool.  Now, after 6 weeks on the road I see a need for something other than the upright we use in the coach.  CQ does not like the idea of me using it for utility or cleanup outside the inside.

So I am looking for recommendations, complete with model numbers if you can locate that information.

Thanks.

We have a one gallon wet/dry shop vac.  It is small and compact...

We also have one of those one gallon wet/dry Shop Vacs. Don't use it too much, but it has come in really handy a few times, especially when a water pipe broke and we had water everywhere.

We were in Walmart today and they have Shop-Vac brands.

Here is a link to the 1 Gallon Shop-Vac Hang Up Mini Vacuum.

They also had the 1.5 Gallon Shop-Vac Hang On model. I didn't find it on Walmart's website, but the link is to Shop-Vac's site and it indicates Walmart carries it.

Both were pretty compact and the reviews on the Hang Up Mini are pretty good.  :)

Fred --

The previous discussion was oriented toward vacuums for use in the house.

Howard--

Thanks for the lead.  We are at Walmart once a week or more.  I will check it out.

When I first moved into my 5ver one of the first things I did was open the wrong valve in the basement [storage compartment] and started to flood it. I shut the valve off, drove to a home depot 2 blocks away bought a 1 1/2 gal. wet/dry vac. and a bag of oil dry and in no time it was cleaned up. I left a fan to help dry it. No mold or mildew everything went well inspite of the dumb mistake. I have used that vac to clean up the truck the storage compartments as well as remove water and clean up small areas on a church build job I worked on. It was one handiest purchases I have made.

Alan,

I will be sure to check out the vacs at Home Depot.  That is a  good recommendation.
