Hi All - Can anyone recommend a good 12 volt or low wattage vacuum cleaner. We will be doing some dry camping this year, obviously without hookups. Most everything we need we can do with 12 volts, except TV and vacuum cleaner. I plan on buying an inexpensive 300 watt pure sine wave inverter for the TV. Hopefully I could find a decent 12 volt vac, or find one that will work with the inverter. Thanks for any help.

will a dust buster type work for you? if so I have a few Ryobi 18 volt rechargeable ones that could be charged up and recharged when 120 is available.bumpy

We too use the rechargeable type vacuum... It stays plugged in all the time and keeps charged up when on shore power... Its hanging on a cabinet door... It is a Dirt Devil brand I think...Works good for us with our small foot print floorplan...Roy Ken

Here's what we use, VERY..VERY low voltage:

LinxI have 2 of these - have owned them for years now, and they do an awesome job!! And I see the price has come down considerably, too. The battery holds a remarkably-long charge, and it works equally as well on carpet or hard flooring. I think in a msall space like an RV, you could go a couple of weeks doing light touchups?

I use this. https://www.amazon.com/Navigator-Freestyle-Cordless-Vacuum-SV1106/dp/B00C351GBC
I get about 15 minutes on a charge and that lasts me for several days.
Easy to empty and one little foam filter to wash maybe once a month.
It does not have a hose attachment though.

Target etc.. small 1.5 ? 2 gallon shop vac ?
Small and powerful , might work from inverter, check load specs

You could get a $99 800w two stroke generator

Good vacuum and 12 volt don't go together

Try a a shark or dust buster, charger it full at home , hope it lasts the weekend,?

It's been my experience that 12 VDC vacuum cleaners really suck, because they don't suck well at all. :B

The best battery operated vacs (and the most expensive) are the Dysons.
