Vacuum for RV

Need to get a new vacuum for the trailer. We have a dog that is medium hair and will leave hair behind for sure. The trailer is mostly linoleum floor with carpet under the dinette. We are looking for the best, and smallest vacuum. All prices considered. What does everyone recommend?
  • We have a Bissell "lift-off Floors & More Pet" cordless, rechargeable. It's light weight, swivel head, easy to maneuver, good suction. We use it in the SB for light duty stuff and put it in MH for trips. Works for us.
  • We travel with 4 cats and three dogs. Does get a bit hairy. The built in Dirt Devil is terrible. Finally bought a rechargeable Dyson. It is light weight and has enough battery life to do the whole MH. You can't sweep the tile with a broom as clean as the Dyson does the job.
  • x2 We camp with 2 dogs and this does a great job in picking up the dog hair.
  • We recently purchased a Shark Navigator at Walmart for $109.
    That vacuum is incredible! It picks up dirt & dog hair that you can't even see. It's super quite and very light weight.
    Would highly recommend.

    Now there is a dog person. We have one big, beautiful collie, but the hair!!!!! I cannot imagine having three of those big furballs.

    We have a stick vac and we have more carpet than you. Works great even on our 2 border terriers dog hairs and they really shed. We just keep the kitchen and steps swept and take three minutes to vacuum the rest. The stick vac takes very little storage space: we stand it in the shower. On sale at Wally World for $20.00
