RoadVac CS-RM
Hide the power unit, keep the reach. Remote-mounted: the power unit lives in a basement bay or a closet and the cleaning point goes wherever you actually make a mess. Automatic start, dual inlet, and it takes the full VacPort and fitting range.
- Power unit out of sight, cleaning point where you need it
- Starts automatically when a VacPort or valve is opened
- Takes the Y11 double-opening bag
Best for: Fifth wheels, Class A and Class C, luxury coaches. Takes the Y11-5 dust bag.

Cleaning points
Two ways to pick up dirt.
The CS-RM is a piped system, so it takes both. An inlet valve is where the hose plugs in. A VacPort takes the place of a dust pan — open its door and the vacuum starts, then sweep the dirt straight into it and it travels down the pipe to the dust bag. No hose, no bending down.
The complete install kit, the A-950-X, is $65.96 and includes the LED VacPort, trim plate, elbow, coupling, sweep tee, 3 ft of hose, wire and nuts.

Consumables
The Y11 bag is the one that seals.
The CS-RM takes the Y11-5 — five sealed HEPA-type bags and one motor filter. It has two openings, and the other RoadVac bag does not fit even though it looks almost the same on a shelf.
Change the motor filter after every fifth bag, which is why one ships in every pack. Non-genuine bags and filters void the vacuum warranty.
No tools with your coach? That is normal. Plenty of RV builders fit the vacuum at the factory but leave the hose and tool kit out, because the kit is sold separately. Nothing is wrong with your system — you just need the kit. Any 32 mm kit fits.
CS-RM questions
Common questions
Which dust bag fits the CS-RM?
The Y11-5. It is the double-opening Y11 bag, sold in a pack of five with a motor filter. The other RoadVac bag will not seal in this unit, so check the opening count before you order.
Can I put a VacPort on a CS-RM?
Yes. The CS-RM is a piped system, so it takes the whole VacPort range in LED and non-LED, plus inlet valves. Remember they do different jobs: the hose plugs into an inlet valve, while a VacPort is a sweep-in door that replaces a dust pan.
What tool kit fits the CS-RM?
Any 32 mm kit, which is all of ours. There is no per-model tool kit — the TK108-B, TK108-TB and TK108-TBM all fit, and so do the individual wands, hoses and floor tools. The remote-control kit, the TK-108-TB-RC, is the exception: it needs a matching receiver and fits only the CS-RM-RC.
How much area will a CS-RM cover?
Up to 900 sq. ft., which covers any coach, and also a tiny home, a kitchen or a bath. Every RoadVac shares the figure — 414 air watts, 92 in. of sealed water lift and 107 CFM at maximum airflow.
The other five models
- RoadVac CS-6 — for rigs on a tight power budget
- RoadVac CS-8 — the simplest install in the range
- RoadVac CS-9 — two inlets, no electronics
- RoadVac CS-10 — automatic, and the one coach builders specify
- RoadVac CS-RM-RC — on and off from the handle
- InterVac RM — not a RoadVac, but coach builders fit it too. Takes the Y08 bag.
