Thanks for this video! Our favorite part was your ladder storage tip. We have a Solis too (June 2021) and travel with our two teens who sleep up top. At first, we would take our ladder apart and stored it under the bed while traveling, but on our last trip we kept the ladder together and stored it up top on the mattress and the pop-up still closed easily. I think we will now be strapping it in like you guys! I love seeing the way people use their Solis campers! There are not a lot of folks with them on KZfaq. :-D

Great question! Abs that is on our list of mods, but until then, I take either my cutting board or the othe cutting board I stow under the bed and place it in the space to keep things dry. In a pinch, a towel works. And honestly it's only an issue when doing dishes (which happens maybe once a day) so unless I'm super messy it's not a problem!

Excellent real world review. I love these vans. Thinking about getting one and making it my daily driver. They are a little spendy brand new. $117,000 for 2023. How often do you use the overhead camper? Do you store the van outside all year? What is your fuel economy?

Great questions! Don't miss an awning because we park where we can have shade abs have heard many fly away. Gas mileage...my hubs would know. 16mpg? It does have a generator that we use to run ac and are grateful for. We also use it if we need to run the microwave we bought for it. Have to use generator for ac. We don't use ac often but are sure glad when we do have it.

You added a microwave but mentioned you barely use it. Do you regret adding it? I really want to add one when I get my Solis, but I'm not sure what the downsides of that might be. Also, how long does the propane tank last? I know it's a full service propane hook up...Is that ever an issue?? Oh and I noticed the little metal piece where the Murphy bed table could sit....I'm guessing you add that as well? I want to do the same thing. I appreciate your feedback :)
@iTravelwithlaura Жыл бұрын
We don't regret it at all but still don't use it much...mostly because we do a lot of stealth camping and boondocking and don't want to use the generator. Although it is a very quiet generator!!

What type of connector does the solar port in the back (above the water panel) take?

We think it's just a standard connector as in you could buy any additional panel and we think it would work or you could buy an adaptor. We haven't needed any additional power.

That is such a great question and a tough one! We HAVE used it and it has allowed us to work when signal was weak. But, it doesn't help if there is nothing around. I know a lot of people use WeBoost but always remember you have to have SOME signal to work with.

We had to get an extension cord to use. Just plugs into the side above the fridge. The table is the one that is typically in the back but we keep our bed down all of the time. Somehow Jay managed to hook it there when we stop for long enough. We store it behind the 2 jumpseats:)
