I'm looking for a small upright 120V vacuum cleaner I can run off my Honda Eu2000i to clean the carpet and floors up of all the dirt that ends up getting tracked in while dry camping.It should be small, relatively portable, easy to maintain, and fit under the bench seat of my booth seats /table. Should definitely have enough beans to suck up cat litter, and have a motorized brush roller of sort with good suction too, not wimpy. The genny can power a pretty decent sucking motor.Any suggestions on what you like, model and brand wise, and what you don't like?

How much carpet do you have? Could you get away with a dust buster? We have no carpet so we just use a broom. We know a family who have a small area of carpet and it sweeps clean with a broom, then she vacuums it when they get back home.

I tried a dust buster and it turned out to be almost useless. I suppose others may have had good luck with them, but I found it very under powered.I use a tiny shop vac like the the one sbowman mentioned. It's not an upright, but it's small enough to toss in the storage area in the front of the trailer when not in use. Works well for everything including getting dog hair off of everything, as well as being able to vac out the truck when I am out for extended periods.

A Dyson portable, might meet your needs.Have you considered installing a central vacuum? Then you could store the hose under the bench seat easily.

Shark makes some light weight ones that are bag less.

I'd get Consumer Reports and see what they recommend. We have one we bought on their rec. a few years ago, light and has a hose for window sills and corners.

Check Amazon for its many upright stick vacuums. We have a stick but the model is not made anymore. Works nice in our MH

Since you mentioned upright twice I think you want an upright vacuum. ;-)

This is what I have and it works fine. Price is right too.
