    New Solera owner in Bend, OR

    New to the forum but decided to join after reading some great information from a lot of friendly people. Just downsized from a 28 ft 2014 Coachman Freelander to a 2013 24R Solera. Got to say I'm liking the diesel over the v10 for gas milage.

    Electrical plug on Solera

    Getting ready to start towing with our 2012 Solera. We are going to use magnetic lights. We tried to use the plug for the first time and the left signal and brake lights don't work. Any suggestions on fixing the problem? We plugged the lights in on our truck and they worked fine. So we know...

    Add'l Solera 12 Volt Power Points for USB?

    Aside from the one on the dash, are there any other 12 volt outlets besides for the 2 TVs inside the coach? We get by using a splitter one of the TV outlets but its a pain and I hate having loose USB wire connectors hanging down. I'd like to install a convenient USB charging station. Couldn't...

    Steering stabilizer for Solera

    Has any one installed a steering stabilizer on their Solera. Talked to someone in a Tiffin Breeze and he said they installed one for him at the factory for free. He said he went from white knuckle to one finger driving. Is there one that works on the Sprinter.

    Solera Awning Support Arm Replacement Parts

    I need one piece of the support arm assembly for an electric Solera awning. Lippert only sells the entire arm assembly for about $250. Does anyone know a place that will sell individual pieces? I tried to show in the picture which piece I need (see red arrow). It is one of the two pieces that...

    Solera Sighting

    We were departing Diamond Lake, OR yesterday late morning in our 2013 24R when we spotted another Solera going in the opposite direction near the (closed) entrance to Crater Lake. I waved, but I don't think the other driver noticed. Greg

    Leak in Solera outside compartment storage

    I noticed I am getting water in the small drivers side outside storage compartment. Upon inspection, the inside rotomold liner is completely tight, so no water intrusion there. However, I notice the door doesn't fit perfectly to the opening in the closed position. Since the door hinges down and...

    Measurement Question - Solera 24S/Sunseeker 2400S/Forester 2401S

    Figured I'd post this here since the Solera sub-forum has the most activity relative to the MBS chassis. Curious if anyone with an "S" floor plan can measure the distance between the edge of the roof ladder and the hitch receiver. I want to confirm that my bike rack (Kuat NV + Extension) will...

    Solera Wind Sensitivity.

    I am new to RVing and a new Solera owner. I'm on my second trip and, so far, I love my Solera. However, I have one big concern. It seems very sensitive to wind. By the time I reach my destination, my hands, wrists and arms are sore and my psyche spent! Too much white knuckling, I suspect. I'm...

    Solera Wind Sensitivity

    I'm a new Solera owner and love it! However, I have one big concern. It seems very sensitive to wind. By the time I reach my destination, my hands, wrists and arms are sore and my psyche spent! Too much white knuckling, I suspect. I'm sure much of this is due to my inexperience driving a MH...

    Solera battery question

    Re. the battery under the driver's feet for a 2013 Solera. I have unearthed it and wondered what I am looking at. Is it a dual function battery, and is it completely sealed- am I right? How good are these batteries? Or battery. On a related theme, we bought our Solera secondhand, and I note...

    Solera vs View/Navion

    Hi all! Jan and I have spent several months researching various types of RV's and have settled on 22-26' class C's with either diesel or gas chassis. We like the perceived quality of the V/N models, but have recently discovered the Solera which seems like it might be a better value. Am curious...

    Propane tank drain with LP A/C running on Solera 24W

    i recently bought a new 2015 Solera 24W. I was told that the A/C which runs on propane if not plugged in will drain the tank in 13 hours when running all of those hours. That is an Onan 3500 Propane A/C. That seems ridiculous to me to install an A/C in a nice moho that can only run for 13...
