BIGMIKEM Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 The first couple times out in my Moho i noticed we drag in a lot of pebbles, dirt , leaves etc. tried using a broom but it didn't work that well so i decided to install a vacuum, I didn't want to spend 200+ for a RV vac so I looked around and found that the storage under the dinette was a perfect spot I measured the space and found a Craftsman 2 gal wet or dry shop vac at K-mart for around 25 bucks, perfect size to set under the seat in the dinette. i cut a hole in the side of the dinette for the vacuum port and put a central vac face plate on it, and on the back side i cut out the power cord hole, neither hole was mandatory, but i did it that way, I used a serpentine belt to hold the vacuum tight which i still can remove the vac to empty it, or use it somewhere else i have just enough hose to reach the front and rear of the Moho the cost ran me about 50+ bucks total. Vac 25.+tax Vac.face plate 8.00 extra hose 8.00 a couple x-tensions and vac handle 15-20 bucks this vac made my life easier just to clean up instead of dragging a vacuum to the Moho when dirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed ke6bnl Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 My wife says that would be nice and you could hook the vacuum power to a wireless remote for startup.

BIGMIKEM Posted July 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 I never thought of wireless remote probably because i need to get the attachments out from under the seat anyway and when my slide is out it exposes the outlet to plug into might do it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiegirl Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Great project! If you figure out how to do a wireless remote, do post. I am going to start looking for space in my 5th wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat & Pete Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 That would be really nice if you could figure a way to have the hose automatically retract into the storage space . Goes around , comes around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGMIKEM Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Ed G that looks like the ticket, just to let everyone know i have about 8'-10' of hose and two 24" straight tubes, it's a long distance to pick things up but the vac works pretty well, it's not like a home vac, it works better on solid floors than carpet I use the narrow attachment for the rugs and the four inch brush on the laminate.

prairiegirl Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Ed G--Thanks for the link. That looks like it would be nice to have--even before I get the vacuum. BIGMIKEM--I have all "wood" floor. So I think this project would be great for me. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
