Thank you! We hope its helpful. Have a great evening!

Appreciate it. Thank you for watching our video.

Glad you enjoyed it! Editing takes a looooong time 😅

Hi Raven. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

Thank you!

Hi there! We hope this is helpful for those needing more info about the van. The kids love the loft. They pop it up as soon as we park at our destination. Thank you for watching!

Thanks Joyce. We'll have that review soon.

Thanks! Glad to be of help. Congrats with your van! Here's to hitting the road and making memories!!!

Thank you for watching

Thank you so much for watching.

Appreciate it. Thank you for watching.

Thank you so much!

Thanks again for watching. The 59PX is a nice rig too. Hopefully in their next revision, they'll make the AC as an option for the 59P with a Volta system.

Glad it helped!

It's perfect for a family of 4! Thanks for watching.

@@HenryAndDonna What made you decide between a rear sofa vs. a murphy bed?

@@alsantos5518 Hello. We wanted the extra seating with the sofa bed. We can sit 6 instead of just 4 if we had gone with the Murphy bed.

Thanks. You're gonna love this van if you decide to move forward. I haven't heard of any oweners who sold the van because they hated it.

Thank you for watching

@@HenryAndDonna I saw your other video about trying to find a spot at Juniper lake. We used to go there as a backup when the main park was full. I've wanted a campervan for years, but now that I'm getting close to being able to afford it, they're so popular that I wonder if I'll be able to find spots. Was your experience there common? Is it hard to find places to camp?

@@jchrisharris it was full when we got there but it was really late in the afternoon. It's a beautiful around the lake but too far from the park. We were lucky to find a site inside the park for our second night. One of the Rangers told us that since we have a self contained rig we are free to park in the parking lot of the visitor center. I hope that will still be the case once Covid restrictions are all lifted. We wouldn't mind camping agaon at the site we found off the main highway though.

The Solis is more versatile for us. The pop-up is one of the primary reasons we got the Solis. Good luck on your search for a new campervan. But go for the Solis :)

Thanks Ruth and congratulations on your new Solis. We are working on creating videos for all the upgrades we did on the van.

Thank you for watching our video

Thank you! We hope it's been helpful.

Adventure is out there! So many beautiful places to explore.

And most of all...park.

haha, we just like the Solis. Almost perfect for our needs.

Thank you for watching

Thanks for watching! How exciting! It's going to be a fun summer with the new van for sure. Good to know that there are changes in the new models.

We love ours! Makes camping and traveling much easier!

Thank you for watching Sam

The excitement must be building up :) Winter is coming but I think the Solis is capable. Thanks for watching.

@@HenryAndDonna You are right, the excitement is building up. Are you guys planning to go somewhere on Dec?

Thanks for watching David

We can tell you that while driving it gets cold all the way to the back of the van while the dash a/c is on

Makes really great tasting coffee. We have a hand-held milk frother too. Beats Starbucks!

@@HenryAndDonna Yes, for sure! Someone got me a frother, too, but I can't get the hang of it. LOL

@@maxgeier1651 have you tried Stumptown or Onynx Southern Weather? So good!

Stumptown, yes, but not Onynx Southern Weather--I'll have to give that a try. Here in Wenatchee, we have Mela, which is awesome, and also Blue Star (technically Blue Star is from Winthrop/Twisp, but we consider it local)--also very good!

Thank you so much for watching. MPG varies a lot. City/highway, expect around 15/16MPG. On the freeway at about 70MPH, you'll get 17/18MPG. Lots of steep climb, the worse we got was 11/12MPG. If you keep your speed around 65MPH on a long stretch of highway, you may get around 20MPG. Btw, these numbers are based on fully loaded capacity (4-6 people and lots of bags).

@@HenryAndDonna Excellent data - thank you. Impressive gas numbers, I have to say. Yes, Henry would have liked a 3500, but the mileage on the 2500 is hard to ignore. Thanks again, and safe travels always!

Hello! The dish rack is from Amazon. Its Samantha dish drain. Its collapsible too.

We got it last year around July. Prices are now higher than it used to. Dealerships are charging closed to MSRP these days. You may still be able to get the 59P in the low 90s.

No full time RVing for us, lol. We love the comfort of our home :)Although I admire those who's able to survive being a full time RVers with limited supply of water. Before we bought our Solis, we thought about converting one ourselves. But after figuring out all the costs and the features we wanted, this campervan is still the best bang for your $.

Thanks. There's a heat furnace available for the coach but for the popup, we haven't had any issues yet with the cold weather. Although the coldest we've taken the Solis is only in the upper 10s. Kids say, they're fine with just using sleeping bags. We may get a "noggle" to direct the heat upstairs if we need to. Cooling is also not an issue for us. But if there are options out there to provide extra cooling to the coach and if you are looking to get one of these vans, maybe check the 59PX as that one has a roof A/C built in for the coach area.

I can answer two questions for you right at the bat. When the grey tank is almost full, water in the sink does not flow down quickly - it gets collected and will slowly drain. I'm sure you''ll get an overflow if it really gets full. You can't use a microwave unless you're plugged in to the shore power. That's the only way the A/C outlets will work. You can't also use an inverter to plugin to the cigarette lighter socket because those sockets are only limited to 180W. As far as I know the lowest wattage microwave you can get is around 900W. One solution is to wire in to the system a big enough wattage inverter to supply power to the A/C outlets. Or you can get a portable inverter station that's at least 1500 watts.

Hi! The AC comes from the front and the roof vent pushing the hot air out while pulling the cook air from the front. It's a light cool breeze. Living in Texas though you'll need the PX! We have a small fan that mounted under the cabinet that our son uses.

They can but it's actually not hard to do it yourself. But to get it done properly and safely, I believe it must be certified too.

Hello! Hope the review helps. The paper towel holder is a stick on and pretty strong.

Hello! We love our van! We haven't has any issues with it. We love how it gets us from point A to point B. It really changed the way we camp because now we look for places where it's dispersed camping or BLM lands since we have everything we need. Not sure if you've seen our video going to Lassen yet but that's one of the best campsites we've found since. Mabuhay!

It's actually the one that we showed in the video. It's the Pioneer AVIC-W8500NEX.

We looked at the Tellaro too but we don't want to go longer than 20 feet. Maybe we can setup a bay area meetup of campervaners ;) Btw, thanks for watching our video.

That would be cool if you have LINE maybe we can connect . salamat!

Hello! On city highway we get around 16-17 miles. We love it too! So mobile. Just load and go 😁

@@HenryAndDonna Thank you again for sharing and response! Almost same mileage as I got with my old Class C Diesel, but too big for me. Maybe I will have to look for a rig like yours, or just Van it.. You have a wonderful family too, I wish mine were more adventurous :) CHeers!!

@@martykong3592 the kids enjoy it, our daughter the most. We go on road trips every summer. We used our Odyssey and stayed in hotels but it gets pretty pricey when driving across country 😆

@@HenryAndDonna Again, thanks MUCH! Yes, I used to do same with daughters when they were kids... 'boring' Van trips, but as you know, can get pricey with hotels etc... was commuting almost every year lately until Covid to SDCC in San Diego, and many trips to Disneyland for Grandson.. Have fun and hope we all get out on the roaad better this year! BTW, wonderful 15th annoversary video! CHeers! :)

We'll cover those add-ons in other videos. This video has gotten way too long already as you notice :) But, yes, that's a 180-watt inverter by the kitchen. There's another one below the bench seat in the front. Thanks for watching.

We use it from time to time to go for a quick run to the store but as a daily driver it's too big. It will not fit in most parking garages clearance wise. When in a pinch, yes it'll do.

Hello! Thanks for watching. Here is the link for the dish rack. It's collapsible too. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078X6B5SW/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_inactive_ship_o1_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They are different models so it depends on which one you're going with. You may still find the Solis for under $100K. It's a hot RV right now so dealerships may not give you plenty of room for negotiation.

yeah! i thought about that too, i like short van with AC

There's a guy on FB group that has done the AC but uses an inverter as I remember. I'm sure it can be rigged with a gas generator but that's going to require a lot of work for sure.

Hello! Looks like it can be done. Just a few screws to undo.

Thanks Erik. First of, the sofa bed is not available in 59PX. The 59PX uses a longer body with a lot more room in the back.

Actually, the window covers do a pretty good job in keeping the cold air out. We only use it at night when we want full privacy.

Hi Erik, thanks for watching. To answer your question, if you are using a regular coffee machine that plugs into an AC outlet, then it won't work without being plugged in to a shore power. More so with the microwave. The van doesn't come with an inverter to enable those AC outlets so. you'll need to install one. Second, you need an inverter that can support the wattage of your microwave, which is typically to the north of 1K watts. Hope this helps.

@@HenryAndDonna does it have a space to put an inverter? or better yet.. can the system be converted to full lithium batteries, inverters and solar charger.. does it have any space inside to put it.

Hi. Unfortunately, there isn't space underneath. The pop-top can hold at least 3 people. Our daughter is 5'4 and weighs 140lb same as my wife and both of them slept up there with our son who is not a lightweight either. The driver and passenger seats swivel and you can get a bed of some sort for another person to sleep on. The area where the table goes is another option. Just bring a sleeping pad.

Thanks for watching our video. The MaxxFan in the back does a wonderful job in venting the hot air out. With the dash A/C on, it does get cool in the back.

The only suspension upgrade we did was the SumoSprings in the front and back. Is it high enough, it depends on the road but for forest service roads, it's good enough. Although, there are options out there to lift the van. Check OHV, they can lift the van for another 3." To plugin a microwave, you need to be hooked up to a shore power or install an inverter that can support the wattage that you need.

Hi Randy & Sharon. Thank you for watching our videos.

Hello! We haven't taken our dogs in our travels but know of someone who does. The area where the table goes should be a good place for them. Here's to adventures!

Hello! Here is the link for for dish rack from Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078X6B5SW/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_inactive_ship_o1_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As far as organizational item, those plastic bin boxes are really handy keeping our emergency supplies underneath the sofa bed. We also bought organizer bins from the Dollar Tree to hold our food supplies. We got the cloth type and they come in different sizes.

I'd say the power is adequate. You'll appreciate the engine more when climbing a steep hill.

It varies from dealership to dealership and availability. They are selling like hotcakes right now. You may still find a deal for less than $90K.

Hi Mike. As long as the water heater is on, it will get replenished. That time when four of us used the shower, we didn't have a problem with running out of hot water.

Of course you can’t be taking 20 minute showers either. I do need the A/C and generator though.

The 59P doesn't have a generator to power a microwave and a rear AC. The hottest we've camped in was at a temp of mid to high 90s. We parked under the shade, opened the door and turned the Maxx fan on and it was enough for us. If you're going to be in a state where it really gets dry, hot and humid the 59PX might be a better option. We have a plug in inverter that is good enough to power our Krups coffee grinder and charge our laptops.

Hi many thanks for your advice. We like the layout of the 59P but we may have to in the parking lot as a portable office for work and study, without A/C it will be tough. No point to switch to PX as it needs to run generator for A/C, so it's same as 59P idling the engine for A/C. Stay safe and enjoy your travel 59P! It's still a very camper!

kabayan, no you can't buy directly from the manufacturer. we got it from a dealership.

@@HenryAndDonna which one? we live near san diego and there’s one dealership there selling for 89K but saying we have to put 500$ downpayment to reserve it once it comes in 3-4weeks but they sound kinda fishy. told them we wanted to see it first before we buy. can u recommend a good dealer pls . salamat

@@chanfamgetaways2706 We went with LaMesa in Davis. It was the same for us. We went to the dealership to put an order and it just so happens that they had one on the floor waiting to be picked up.

@@HenryAndDonna another question, the 59p doesnt have the rear AC right? does the dash AC work ok for warm weather?

@@chanfamgetaways2706 yes, the 59P doesn't have rear AC. We turn the fan on in the back to help move cooler air back there and we also bought a small fan for our son who sits back there. The hottest temp we've camped in is around high 90's in Kings Canyon last year. We parked in a shaded area and opened all the doors and the fan all and it worked for us. Not sure how the weather is in Socal but here in Norcal the temps drop significantly at night so we don't need AC at night.

Hello po. Olonggapo and Nueva Ecija po.

Yes you do.
