12 volt/battery powered car vacuum

I would like to purchase a 12 volt car vacuum that has some suction and will pick up dirt. I do not want one that has to be plugged into 120 volt. If it is battery powered I want to be able to plug it into a 12 volt outlet. I found a Dewalt but by the time you purchase the vacuum, the battery, and the charger you have over 200 dollars invested....I want to be able to vacuum out the dirt/sand when we are camped. I want some that will work and not something that is cute. The Dirt Buster etc. just does not do the job. A google search brings up lots of vacuums but most are only practical for flat open floor....not the nooks and crannies of a truck cab.....
  • We have been using a Black and Decker model PAV1200 12v plug in hand held automobile vacuum for about 4 years. It's available on Amazon. It has worked well for us. Only complaint is the bin that collects the dirt is a little small but easy to empty. It has two filters I. It. One is plastic and the other is a replaceable pleated paper filter similar to an automotive air filter.
