    Will mercedes 2.1l be an option for the Solera?

    I have seen some RV websites that are listing the new Sprinter chassis with the 2.1l engine coupled to a seven speed transmission as an option. Any chance that this combo woll be offered as an option?

    Has anyone experienced this warning light coming on? I topped up the DEF before leaving on the last trip, and it came on after 100km.

    Solera 24R outside electric step?

    We are looking at Solera 24R models and have noticed that if the model has a couch there is no outside electric step. Is this true, and why is this? All models sit on the same Sprinter chassis, are all the same height and weigh within a few pounds of each other. Can anyone explain this to me?
