It's amazing to me as expensive as these vans are, one would think the manufacturer would use just a bit higher quality adhesives to prevent these issues. Keeping the van owner from having to visit repair centers for small, preventable problems.

Those were minor issues glad you didn’t have major ones…thanks again love watching your channel still negotiating my 2024 solis

:) THANKS MUCH for sharing! I was looking at the Pocket a while ago. ALL the best and Safe Travels! Cheers :)

I am excited to see the next video on how you travel with multiple bikes.

Great video good that you can do all the repairs yourself, l travelled all around Spain, Portugal and Morroco in my motor home and it is fair to say that motorhomes are not very good for long team travel, l replaced a fridge freezer, 2 roof lights repair to split in my shower tray it is fear to say that moter homes are an ongoing maintenance project l dont think any manufacturer sleeps in their vans let alone live in them.

I appreciate your videos, and am cheering you two on with your adventures! It torques and concerns me (for myself) that even with spending so much money on these high-reputation manufacturers' (Winnebago in this case) Class B RVs, so much time has to be spent fixing their cheap goofs, instead of spending that time doing the outdoor "fun stuff" which is the purpose in paying so much for a fun get-outdoors RV. I'm irked at the manufacturers getting away with such "stupid stuff" in their builds and charging SO MUCH for them. Good on you for having the patience and wherewithal to take care of these things for them!

Picking up my Solis PX tomorrow and I'm stoked! Really appreciate your videos, which are helpful, informative, and entertaining. I learned long ago that the audio quality is more important than the video quality for the viewer. Small tip - wear the lav mics a bit higher - up around your collarbone area if you can. The further from your mouth they are, the more ambient and background sounds will mix with your vocal. Looks like you're using Rodes - so you chose well. Keep the great content coming!

When I bought my rv, I told them they would never see me again. Just fix all the stupid things. If you have to get parts, do it right away. You have a good attitude, just get it done. Happy trails.

It’s incredible all of the crap that B class van owner has to go through in order to get their moneys worth out of these products. I own a Thor sequence 20 L and I’ve proudly been able to take all the badges off so that no one knows the crappy product I purchased for$107,000 and I’ve spent two years trying to improve on the poor engineering, and the poor quality of workmanship to get the RV to a point where I’m proud for people to look at it but it’s more mine now than it was Thors

It's honestly minor stuff....love your pocket...Im going to look at a Vanworks tomorrow built on a Promaster 1500 chassis. They're a custom builder in Fort Collins. Not as much "stuff" for the money but the build quality seems to be really good.

Randomly found your video. Glad to see another new Class B couple. We just started out too! Subscribed. I have a couple vids posted, tell me what you think.

Good video I'm in the market for pocket good information.

Maybe use some plumbers tape on the threads if you still notice a leak down the road. I’m sure all the vibrations from driving loosens those up from time to time. Thanks for the video…I’ve been considering the Solis 36A. I love the layout but I’m a little concerned about the quality of materials used. Take care…

Quick question. How does the pocket perform on steep hills/mountain inclines? Thank you!

Pre inspection purchase for plumbing leak and getting AT tires

Interesting

I noticed your Pocket van comes with Lithium battery. Is it standard or an option? My wife and I are really interested in this van. May I ask how much you guys paid for the van so we have an idea during negotiation with the dealer.

Contact cement I have used is supposed to dry before bonding the parts together

Installing the light,you didn’t clean the surface with alcohol,keep your tape at the ready

I really can’t believe how the RV manufacturers get away with making such sh**ty products! Any normal person just wants to go out there and have fun camping and nope, you have to deal with all of these other things that are made poorly. And these RVs are not cheap. You are pouring a lot of money into them when you purchase it. Not to mention all the other time and money you put into trying to get warranty work taken care of or just trying to fix things that you just don’t have the time to waste over going through the warranty process. I know they have RV inspectors and I think every single person should hire an RV inspector before you purchase any RV. They don’t have any skin in the game. You are paying them to find every single little problem that is either currently there or looks like it’s going to fail in a short time. You can use this information to barter with the RV dealership because you’re gonna have to use your own money to fix certain things, or you can just move along and try to find some thing that’s made properly. They certainly do not hire carpenters or electricians or plumbers to put their products together! This we all know. I believe that the best idea is to purchase a really solid and well made cargo van with the raised roof and the extended wheelbase. Then come up with a schematic drawing of how you would like your van to be. Then hire carpenters electricians and plumbers to do the build out for your van. It will be done in a quality way with hopefully not all of these ridiculously stupid issues that a seventh grader could fix in shop class. You do have to be sure that you are hiring professional well-qualified tradesmen to do the work for you. Otherwise you’ll just be stuck with a piece of crap.☹️

You spend your money on a van that already built outready to go to end up with cheap build materials. Yes, i know not everyone has the skills or time to build a van , some vans sell upwards of 200k ouch or a brand new van blank slate from 65k to 80k , everyone situation different as money to spend, im not a fan of dodge promaster main reason front wheel drive and gasoline, i bought a 2017 Mercedes Benz sprinter cargo van 170 high top 3.0 v6 diesel with 300,000 on odometer all highway miles runs excellent for 4300.00 no rust , or dents , i will build the van my way with real materials not cheap laminate veneer like so many rv builder do it's not right or fair to the consumer you could have bought a 4x4 ford sportsmobile 100k out my price range he really builds a true offroad van to last for years , my build will cost all in 30k that mostly upgrades like flare sides 4k both sides front aluminum front bumper 2500. Rooftop rack 2k its things like this that run up any build i don't need or want 4x4 , i know what you are thinking 300k on odometer no way, im a truck driver 36 years diesel engine will run forever with proper maintenance my current work truck has almost million miles on it 20 years old diesel engine offers longevity over gasoline also it's a Mercedes built the under coating the attention to details but its still a van sheet metal the best way to buy any vehicle is too look at wrecked vehicle that you're planning to buy to see how well it handles in a accident and the repair cost today vehicle are junk that why so many air bags my 1988 e30 bmw has no airbags you can feel how thick the metal is compared to modern vehicles you can feel the metal flex vehicles that last from good materials will make manufacturers go out of business if this was my van and cabinet peeling i replaced with a different material that has no laminated material like real wokd or bamboo just because someone built the van doesn't mean you have to keep the materials used good luck 😀

You really can’t trust Winnebago

You guys shouldn’t need to do this. Quality seems to be a problem with the Solis. I am turned off!

From all the horror stories I’ve been seeing here, yours look really minor. Good luck!

Jesus...i m done😂😂😂😂 get a New Van 😂😂😂😂
