Where do you replace the vacuum bags?

Where is the access point to change our vacuum bag on our 2019 3560RL? Is it behind the wall of the storage area? A photo would really help me out if available.

On our 2019 3791RD, the vacuum bags are located in the vacuum unit on the wall of the basement pass through compartment. From the door side, open the basement and you can reach it on the left hand wall close to the top. Incidentally, there is also a port where you can plug in the vacuum hose to vacuum up the basement. I somehow always seem to get a lot of sand in there.
Our vacuum is at the bottom of the steps leading up to the front bedroom. If yours is located in the same place, your bags should be on the basement wall right behind that.

Thanks guys, yea that's where I was thinking it's located. Do you need to unbolt that wall to change the bag out?

Mine has a little door that can be popped off and the bag attaches to the back of the door. There's 2 holes, one facing into the camper, and one that attaches to the opening in the basement. That's the piece that is removable. The piece you can plug the hose into.

Got it. Thanks Robert. One of those items I tend to forget, since we rarely use it.

Same here. I use the dustpan toe kick more than the vac.

Has anyone attempted to duct it out the bottom of the trailer since it's mostly dirt brought in anyway?

That's an excellent concept.

Not sure that would work as it couldn't build pressure for the suction.

I think it would work. Using my shop vac as an example, if I removed the filter the exit air could be plumbed to anywhere.

Why would you want to put another hole in your camper. Another hole for mice & other stuff to come in. Portable Shark vacuum work great, fits behind theatre seats. Can vacuum my 41 footer & dump canister at the end. That includes having a dog & cat that loves to shed.

Same here, ripped my vac out as it took up cabinet space and difficult to maintain. we have a german shedder and the portable dyson works great, rechargeable

We use the toe kick all the time. I plug in the hose and vacuum on occasion, but it is a chore. I use the Dyson cordless at home. So easy! I an taking it with me next time we head out.

Moving the dirt through the motor in the intervac would be an issue.

In the basement but be careful if this is your first replacement. The factory did not attach the bag or it worked loose. When I opened the hatch the contents went all over and I had a basement full of about a year's worth of dust and dirt.
