Well folks, here is todays silly question.
We have a Red Devil vac' system built in to our coach and have never used it so yesterday while I was messing in the water compartment doing the winterizing I decided to have a look at it. I found that FT did not empty the bag when they sold it to us let alone tell us anything about it, and the manuals have nothing??
There is an hinged flap on the wall near the refrigerator, where the pipes plug in and lots of pipes in a storage compartment. Other than that I know nothing??
No switch?? What voltage. Where do you find the bags etc. Once switched on I will probably be able to operate it??
Any clues appreciated, and no laughing, please.

Mine is a small wonder vac, which runs off shorepower and turns on immediately upon opening the door to plug the hose in. Not much else to say about it, it just works. I fitted a similar electrolux bag to mine, rather than search for a direct replacement. Its not super powerful, but it does fine for me.
Speedbird1 - did you buy this one - your 2nd coach on consignment?
We have a Red Devil built in vac system and I love it. There is a small round receptacle (located an inch above the floor across from the refrig) to install the vac hose. When we open the lid the suction automatically begins. I know of no on/off switch. Our model is CV950. It is discontinued but the bags for the cv1500 fit it just fine. I keep the attachments in a long low cupboard built below the refrigerator.
Yes, plugging in the vacuum hose should start the vac motor.
Thank you folks. The mystery is solved. After all we have only owned the coach for four years, but not being full timers we use a house vac' when we return and carry a small shop vac' for emergencies.
Yes, Mark we did trade our old GV to FT for this 320.

Once again I owe a debt of gratitude for all of your help. Just went out, started the Kubuto and lo and behold, once the hose was plugged in to the vac receptical it sucked with gusto.
The problem now is that I know how to work it, and you know what that could lead to???
Thanks.
Brian.
Nah you just know how to turn it on to diagnose a potential problem has nothing to do with using the hose thing. ;)

My vacumn is located under my refrigerator. When I stalled the residential refrigerator I rebuilt the deck above the vacumn.
I used this opportunity to replace all the flexible hose with PVC pipe all the way to the catch box in the bay. This made a huge improvement with the suction.
I also modified the bag area to except the same hoover bag that the house vacumn uses. ( At least until we bought the Dyson for the house) They are much easier to find.
The previous owner of our coach found all this "junk/stuff" under the couch, didn't know it was for the inhouse vacuum so he threw it away. He was using Wood Doctor on the walls one day and lifted the little door for the hose and was startled by the noise. Apparently the other times he lifted the door he wasn't plugged in to shore power.
When we bought the coach our dealer went out of the way to equip the coach with all the necessary attachments.
