Dirt Devil central vac CV1500

This vac works well with plenty of suction power for my 5er. However, the wand is not at all sturdy enough. 2 wands have cracked or split on the end where the hose plugs into. The manfacturer does not make a heavier duty wand either. Anyone have any suggestions or has anyone experienced this problem? I mounted the motor unit in the bsmt of my rig with an inlet installed inside the coach. Otherwise the vac works pretty good.
  • When I bought my trailer used the wand was missing. I have been using the wand from one of my shop vacs without a problem.
  • The hose, wands and attachments should be standard sizes so you should be able to find them at any vac store.
  • I'll try the hose clamp. Good thought. Dirt Devil doesn't make a heavier duty wand
  • You might check with Dirt Devil, they have a new telescoping wand that has been working great for me.
  • I used a small hose clamp where they split, has worked 4 years.
