solera

My new Solera 24W diesel has very low power when starting from a dead stop. I can push the accelerator to the floor in the 'Drive' or 'D' setting and not much happens. Is this normal for this motorhome or is something wrong. To get some juice out of it I manually shift down to 2nd and then...

Our old motor home I had a inverter put in to run the fridge when driving it worked great. When we got where we where going I would switch to shore power.it never ran the batt down. I had to change the plug in from inv to shore or vise versa.this way I don't have to use propane to keep things...

I understand that Solera will be replaced with the Forester MBS and the Sunseeker MBS and that the Forester line will have slightly upgraded amenities. Does anybody know what specifically those upgrades will be? What will the price differential be between the two lines? Are the upgrades...

first some good news regarding our just delivered 24 R: it has the thicker Hellwig sway bar standard; second it has new locking latches on all the external compartments (except propane and sewer valves); also, the LED lighting is really nice. challenge one: the black hose storage compartment...

I'm taking our Solera in for service next week. My question is the slide. is it normal for it to grunt and groan, tilt and drop, and be very slow? It has always worked but it seems like it's straining every time. Some times it's really noisy.

Any issues with the full slide? It would seem like having the fill slide would put quite a few stresses on that side of the coach. What was done to mitigate that problem over time? I am thinking about purchasing an MBS or Solera, love the design of the full slide, but I am leery of how it...

Those of you who read my ongoing drama with my Solera begin flatbed trucked and $1,800 damage (see Towing a Solera) might recall my original reason for the warranty tow was an ongoing check light problem. To recap, when the check light first came on MB warranty service found codes P14F200 and...

Every once in a while a unit has to come off the line that shouldn’t and unfortunately for us our 2014 Solera was one. From day one the slide did not work properly. On the plus side, FR was supportive in authorizing work. After several attempts at two different repair facilities, FR arranged...

How will the cabinetry fair on the MBS units in a high heat storage environment such as Phoenix Arizona?

Let me preface this by saying I love how the Sprinter drives (after installing the Hellwig and shocks), and with the two slides, our 2014 24R is the perfect size RV for us. During the first year, we've only put about 6,000 miles on it. However, it seems like every trip has been a "shakedown"...

Couple of new mods on my Solera, Front stabilizer jacks just installed a month ago. And a plexi glass window installed on the door last week. :campfire:

This morning I disconnected the power and went to bring in the side slide-out. It did not do anything. I then started the generator (just for the heck of it) and tried the slide several more times .. nothing .. Panic set in! I re-plugged in the power line to the RV Park power ... and the...

For sale is our 2014 Solera 24B with 8000 miles for $69,000. We bought this new and have enjoyed it for the last year. Selling the RV due to family member illness that requires our full time attention for the foreseeable future. The Solera comes with full-body paint, power awning, Garmin RV...

I purchased a new Solera 24R in February, 2015, currently has 4027 miles on it. Thought the wife would like it better than my Ford van but camping just isn't for her. It is on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis with full body paint, has the microwave and separate oven with the fold down couch in the...

We just took delivery of a new Solera 24W today and are excited to get it out this weekend. We are seasoned RVers but this one is special. Its our first diesel and the smallest RV we have owned. That will be a fun challenge as today we off loaded all the accumulated stuff in our 32 foot Class...

We are considering buying a Solera or MBS but don't want to take our bikes off a hitch rack every time we stop for the night. Any suggestions? Thanks, Susan

Anyone else suffering from rear cargo floor sagging? The center cargo area has approx 2"-3" sag. Rig is only 3mos old & hasn't been overloaded, maybe 20 lbs.

Headed out on the first trip with my 2016 Solera. Destination Ft Wilderness at Disney. Only a 3 1/2 hour trip from SW Florida. Refueled about 30 miles from Orlando, not that I needed to. I wanted to check my mileage, I'm very happy to report 14 mpg. Considering the engine isn't even close...

I put these on my 2014 Solera 24S and took one short trip and decided I didn't like the ride. Mercedes 3500, purchased from the Sprinter Store in Oregon for $600. Extra heavy duty brackets and very well made. Any reasonable offer considered.

I was looking for the fuse for the coach step. It speculated that it was probably in the fuse panel in the stair well. By trial and error I found it. There is labeling on the inside of the cover for the fuse panel but it does not list the electric step. Has anyone ever created a FULL and...

I think my Solera 24R is a 2013. At any rate, there is a pair of light switches between the hallway sink and the bathroom door. The switch on the right side has failed. I need to either replace the single switch or replace the entire pair. Besides that, how do I remove it from the wall? My...

Our 24R is capable of dingy towing our 2011 Equinox and we are using Invisibrake with a Sterling tow bar. Equinox is close to the max for our Solera and I know it is behind me in the mountains. Never liked being so close to the maximum limit when towing anything. Is just my dear wife and myself...

Tan Ultra Leather pair of front seats, not including the base/swivel. Kept seat covers on them since RV was purchased new one year ago. Selling due to trading out with custom seats. These will fit RV or Sprinter Van.

Good morning all, I have a problem that I don't think has been mentioned here before. My 2013 Solera won't start but the starter motor does turn very slowly. I had just pulled it forward out of our RV carport (normal start up and no check lights). I shut the engine off to get things ready to...
