My 2012 Cyclone 4014 came with a central vacuum. I have used it a couple of times. When you push in the vacuum hose it turns on the vacuum. When you disconnect the hose the vacuum shuts off. Now my vacuum won't shut off. I remove the hose but it continues to run. Does anybody know if and where there may be a manual shut off switch? Guess this will go on my list of things to fix next time I take the rig back in.
Vacuum not shutting off

Some suggestions:
1. The dirt sweep up feature is on, as noted by others.
2. The microswitch in the vacuum hose connection outlet is stuck in the on position.
3. The relay in the vacuum head is stuck on.
4. While you should be able to use a circuit breaker to turn the vacuum on-off, I have found (at least in my Bighorn) that the vacuum cleaner and converter were plugged in each other's outlets in the storage compartment. Thus, the converter breaker turned off the vacuum and visa versa.

We just purchased a 2013 Key Largo and are on our maiden voyage. We special ordered to get a queen bed and many changes were made mid-stream, some we are not happy with. It does not have central vac anymore. Instead, created a small "dressing" room at end of closet and mounted a Dyson Stick to the wall. The Dyson battery charge lasts for six minutes on max speed, 13 on min speed. Then it takes 3 1/2 hours to fully charge again. Guess I will have to vac in time zones. I like max to pick up debris from two standard poodles who travel with us and although I'm fast, can't do 40 foot RV in six minutes. What were they thinking? Said they made the change due to complaints about the central vac hose making marks on the wood so intent was good. But should have found a good product with a longer battery charge.

Had the same problem. The two wires in the hose port were touching each other.
Willie, Don't sweat not having the central vac. We have one and use it very little because of lack of power to clean the carpet. Since it does not have a power head it does not pick up pet hair at all. It also loses suction the longer you stretch the hose; so it barely picks up anything in the back of the rig. It really is only good for cleaning the bare floors.
We moved our two Orecks (upright and canister) to the coach and love the cleaning power.

Ours works well for picking up pet hair and carpet cleaning.
If yours doesn't have much suction i would suggest you check the system for blockages, or maybe a dirty bag. Trace
Same thing just happened to us! I was vaccuming using the 'basement' connector. When I stopped, the centvac kept running. We could not figure out a way to shut it off. Then, for no explainable reason, I thought I'd plug the centvac into the LR connector and run it for a minute. Once I disconnected from the LR connector, the entire system shut off. Crazy...I know...but it worked.
