alanluher Report post Posted August 25, 2017 Why would the central vac system on my 2004 Monaco Windsor go on during the middle of the night? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted August 25, 2017 alanluher, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. I would start by checking the switch where you plug in the hose. Perhaps the door is slightly ajar or the switch is slightly recessed. May even be a loose wire/contact at the switch. If not, check the switch wiring at the vacuum itself.

elkhartjim Report post Posted August 25, 2017 How does it normally operate? Does it start from a switch, when you open the hose door or when you insert the hose? Three different scenarios with three or more solutions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted August 26, 2017 Got tired of messing with mine, so I got a Dyson Stick on sale at Low's. Linda got one for her coach also, then the house and my Dyson Ball now lives in the shop! Both our (she has a 40 foot Phaeton, DP 350 Cat) central vac systems are in the other shop!

rvdreams16 Report post Posted August 26, 2017 Getting rid of our central vac was one of the first changes we made after buying our coach. The central vac didn't seem to work as well as my Dyson so it went out and the Dyson came in! I really like the extra cabinet space in the kitchen too!

five Report post Posted August 26, 2017 If the on board vacuum fails to adequately provide enough suction...check the hose about a foot behind the hose plug in/starter. Ours had a kink in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obedb Report post Posted August 26, 2017 We have a Dirt Devil central system. Betty really likes it, because she will not use it. She made it my job.🙄 I think that it does a good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted August 26, 2017 Obedb, same system in ours, never used it. When you plug the hose in ours turns on, either location (kitchen or bedroom). We also use a Dyson cordless, resides in the bedroom in its cradle out of sight. Between the bag of hose and needing to purchase clean out bags we opted to forget it was there. It's unplugged now.

manholt Report post Posted August 27, 2017 Linda told me, hers also would all off a sudden come on...found a crack in the door, Duck tape fixed it...Dyson fixed it better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted August 28, 2017 Well I never had one of those fancy coaches with a central vacuum. I bought a Hoover windtunnel with the pivoting head. I think it does a better job than the Dirt Devel central units I have seen. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first time Louise used it she said, " Where did all that dirt come from?" We have carpet. The built in may work OK on tile or hardwood floors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
