    Three days ago we took delivery of a brand new Solera 24S. We drove it 170 miles to our home where its been parked since. In reviewing all the Sprinter systems, I checked tire pressures to find the inside dually tires would not read on the gauge nor would they accept air. The photo shows the...

    Looking to buy a Solera 24s or Sunseeker 2400S

    We are in the midst of finding or having built a Solera 24s/Sunseeker 2400s and unsure of which options to buy. We have found dealers offering discounts off of MSRP depending on the options chosen. Does anyone have an opinion of which ones you can't live without and should be on all units...

    2014 Solera Microwave

    I guess it's that time of the year for me. I plugged in my Solera from my 30A house plug this evening. Never had a problem before, but this time my microwave GFI switched off. I smelled something unusual as well. So, I unplugged, waited awhile, and then plug back in. This time the GFI did not...

    New Solera 24R

    Just wanted to introduce ourselves to the Forum. We recently purchased a 2014 Solera 24R after having a Class A. Liked the features of the Solera and found ourselves comparing the storage space with similar RVs. The Solera just stood out above the other choices. We added the Hellwig sway bar...

    Roof Rack on the Solera

    I just bought a cover for my Solera, and I'm considering installing a roof rack and storage box to put the cover in when I'm on the road. I'd like to avoid hoisting the heavy cover up to the roof each time I want to cover the mh. Has anyone installed such a system on the roof? Is there a...

    Solera Storage Between Trips

    We are VERY new to this. So far we have spent a total of three nights on two trips. Super fun! Unfortunately, our next excursion won't be until November. In the meantime it is outside in the Florida heat. What are the basic things we should do to store it between trips? For example...

    Solera VIN Numbers

    I'm just about to pick up a new Solera and I'm a little confused about VIN numbers. I've found the chassis (Mercedes) VIN number, but haven't found another (Forest River) VIN for the motorhome. The dealer seems to think that the Mercedes VIN covers the motorhome as well, but that doesn't match...

    New member looking at a Solera and Via comments welcome

    My husband and I are about to retire and have never owned a TT or an RV but we did have a pop-up during the 80's. We thought we had our minds made up and were going to purchase a 22' Surveyor 226 TT. But after thinking about it, we now think a small RV will suit our needs. We are looking at the...

    Misleading videos on Solera?

    Sorry for length - First time RV purchase, I have 3 children and have narrowed my choice down to a 24J View or a Solera 24s. I eliminated the Thor Siesta based on forums and the pdf here. I have been contacted by several View/Itasca dealers, and they argue that their much higher price is...

    Adding a 2nd back-up camera to 2013 Solera

    I note that on the back-up camera monitor of my 2013 Solera 24R, there is a "V1/V2" button. Pressing it toggles between a camera view and a "no signal" error message, leading me to believe that it is possible to view feeds from two different cameras on the monitor. Has anyone added a second...
