Horses for courses and with most things caravanning there is compromise.  So probably pros and cons for most types. You might like to look at this

http://www.lakeland.co.uk/lakeland-turbo-vac/F/keyword/vacuum+cleaners/product/22518

Powerful, lightish (4KG) and can be used as a hand held or standing upright with a longer attachment. So a bit more versatile than many of the little car vac types. Does not take up much storage space. 3.13 amps. Bagless £39.99.

We found that with many of the rechargeables they needed to be on charge for a long time to get a small amount of power useage. Cheaper to just run one off the electric and has a cord long enough for the van

You could always take the van up to Windermere as well to buy it from their main shop.....what a bind!!!!

We also use a brush and dustpan, with the main power coming from our 11 yr daughter, It can be tempremental and stubbvorn to use, but with some friendly cajohling, and an input from the bank of mum and dad it seems to get done ok, with added bonus of an evening dishwasher also, for much the same price.

We have a hand held Dyson too and think it's great. The 6 minutes use from a charge is plenty to do the whole caravan and the suction is as good as our main hoover. We also use it at home.

They are expensive though - we bought ours as a reconditioned unit from the Dyson official outlet on ebay about a year ago. Saved almost 50% on the recommended retail price and it was pristine when it arrived. Would recommend them if the shop is still on ebay.

Just wondered how long you need to charge it for for six minutes use?

We have the Argos basics red one mentioned on the first page of this thread, and its brilliant, bought ours on offer for £14.95 and it fits nicely under the small single dinette seat.

I am a brush person myself. Does a great job but don't have the 11year old power pack unfortunately and I have hear that after another 2 years they can become quite impossible to do anything with and very expensive to maintain.

OH tends to drive ours.
