2002 Tiffin Zephyr

Don't know if anyone can help, we purchased a used 2002 Tiffin Zephyr and it has a central vac system under the bed. Can't find a name or model number, called Tiffin and they told us that wasn't a standard feature in that year. Does anyone have one installed under the bed and what model or brand do you have. It's not red so pretty sure it's not a dirt devil.
  • Try an Amazon search for RV central vacuum.
    I just did and immediately found a half dozen, and the one that caught my eye was a dometic since they are heavy in the industry. By checking Amazon you can see pictures of the units to help identify yours.
    Good luck.
  • Take a picture of the unit and post it. Sounds like it was an aftermarket install, so it could be anything...Most popular units are Red Devil and Yellow Jacket.....Dennis
  • Our 2006 Phaeton has one. It wasn't standard, but was an option. Ours is a Dirt Devil, but it isn't red. It's in the basement toward the back accessible through a bay door. It's either beige or gray and is a box type thingy, suspended from the frame I think. I hate it and don't use it. Not enough suction and the hose isn't long enough to do the cab and steps.

    Yes, post a picture if you can. Does it work? Have you used it yet? We do the same as Scottiemom-we don't use our Dirt Devil central vac either. It's loud and the attachments simply do not clean very well. We use a simple upright vac that does SO much better.
  • Dometic also sold a system, probably a re-branded Dirt Devil.

    factory ones are installed in one of the lower compartments so most likely add on. what colour? if its white one there out of florida; hard to get parts Bought some bags last year
    I had the dirt devel in my 2002 AB and now the white unit in the 2008 bus Both have great suction and work very well;
