My rig is 20 years old. The house vacuum suction pretty much stopped. I've run a snake through the tube and don't feel any blockages. it smells hot even when I disconnect the hose from the box in the basement and pull up the tab so it powers on. Do you suppose the whole vacuum is fried? Even if the there was a blockage, with the hose disconnected the vacuum shouldn't smell hot.
Thanks...

Look inside. Dust can clog the screen to the motor.

I agree pull the hose at the motor and see if you have suction there. if not it's internal to the "Box" (inlet screen) And the comment about the bag... Now I do not think central vacs in RV's have those (I think they just blow it to the ground) but.... THINK means it's possible I'm mistaken.
At 20 years might be a toasted motor too.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

Ok...I'll check the screen leading to the motor. I've changed the bag regularly.
