Ok, who has installed a central vacuum system in their FMC?

Where did you install the power unit?

Where did you install the hose plugin?

How did you route the hose connetion between the central unit and the hose plug?

What brand unit did you use?

What do you think of the Dirt Devil unit? http://www.rvupgradestore.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=23

I have carpeting throughout so I need to vacuum the whole coach, but don't want to bring a regular vacuum along.

Thanks for your input.

I installed a central vacuum in my coach some 25 or more years ago.

It is benefical since the vac that FMC supplied was a hand held unit that took space and an extraordinary time to use.

I installed my central vacuum in the space under the bed forward of the wheel tub. The outlet is surface mounted in the aisle for ease of use.

Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado		just surfing and thought I'd add my two cents. We also have all-carpet coach, too, and simply carry a small dirt-devil under the dinette for occasional spot vacuuming. I don't know that I would personally spend time and money on a central system. You know me, Stephen, too busy rebuilding the front end ;-0
