The power units

Seven vacuums end up in RVs. Here they all are.

Six of them are RoadVacs. The seventh, the RM, is a different InterVac that coach builders also fit. Every one is sold two ways — the bare power unit as a replacement, or the complete system with everything the install needs.

Self-contained

The hose plugs into the unit itself.

One cutout, one outlet, no pipe run. These two take no inlet valves and no VacPort — there is nowhere to connect them.

Piped systems

Power unit hidden, cleaning point where you need it.

Pipe runs from the unit to an inlet valve where the hose plugs in, and to a VacPort wherever you would rather sweep than plug in.

Also fitted in RVs

The InterVac RM.

Not a RoadVac, and worth knowing apart: it is a bigger machine and it takes a different bag. Coach builders fit it too — Tiffin among them.

Not sure which you have? Find your model

No hose or tools with your coach? That is normal. A number of RV builders fit the vacuum at the factory and leave the kit out, because it is sold separately. Nothing is wrong with the system — and any 32 mm kit fits every unit on this page.

Questions

Choosing between them

Which one should I buy for a retrofit?

If you want the simplest possible install, the CS-8: one cutout, one outlet, no pipe. If you want the power unit out of sight and the cleaning point where the mess actually is, the CS-RM. Those two are also the models we keep online, so they ship straight away.

What is the difference between the CS-RM and the RM?

They are two different machines with confusingly similar names. The CS-RM is a RoadVac: 414 air watts, up to 900 sq. ft., Y11 bag. The RM is a larger InterVac power unit: 530 air watts, up to 1,500 sq. ft., Y08 bag. Both mount remotely. Coach builders fit both.

Why can I not buy four of the six RoadVac models online?

The CS-6, CS-9, CS-10 and CS-RM-RC are current, supported models that we build to order rather than stock online. Call or email and we will come back with a price and a lead time. Bags and parts for all of them are in stock.

Do they all use the same tool kit?

Yes. Everything is 32 mm, so any of our kits fits any of these units — and most other brands too. Only the dust bag is model-specific. Bear in mind a lot of RV builders fit the vacuum at the factory without a kit, because the kit is sold separately.

What is the warranty?

Two years on the unit and 30 days on accessories, on every model here. Registration is at intervacdesign.com. Non-genuine bags or filters void the vacuum warranty.
