We've learned a lot with our Solis over many trips and we absolutely love it! We'd love to hear your tips and feedback!
You folks asked about our gear so this is what we've purchased that we would definitely buy again. I left out the gear we didn't like. We may get a commission on these links. We purchased the Winnebago Solis and gear with our own money, we're not sponsored by anyone. Thanks for your support!

I am so happy to find this video just a few days after our solis purchase! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! Informative and helpful!

You are so welcome and congrats! I’m trying to share videos with all the solutions to my own questions!

@@fitspiritshare Congrats! I’m glad this was helpful! I recommend joining the Winnebago Solis owners and wanbees FB group. A TON of good information there.

Awesome! Good luck Mary! Enjoy the adventures and make some memories! My wife wants me to do another video of 15 MORE things that could help you on your adventures… watch for that one soon!

@danhalpert2284 11 месяцев назад

Great video, thanks for sharing these suggestions. I just found your channel and subscribed. I recently got a 23/23 59PX and I’ve been slowly getting items needed for our road trips. I laughed at the padding for the pizza oven edge, only 4 head crashes in the first month 🤣🤣

@roadstoke 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for subscribing! Always good to hear from other Solis owners! I hope to hear your thoughts in future videos, we can share good ideas and our pains lol. We're stoked on the Solis!

@torbit 11 месяцев назад

Another great video. Straightforward information and useful recommendations. Most of the videos I’ve watched just repeat the info you can already find on the Winnebago website. Sounds like you’ve put some good adventure miles on your ride-More travels ahead I hope!

@roadstoke 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the nice comment! I felt the same researching Solis videos. I hope our experiences can get more information out there! I’m still looking for information videos and peoples experiences with camper vans!

@hambonelouis 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for making BOTH videos. Very thorough and well done. Glad to hear you’ve got two seasons on your van and it’s still something you’re using and taking care of. How is it holding up? Any unexpected issues or red flags?

@roadstoke 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! I have family with Thor and other Winnie builds. I think we all agree the Solis has been the most durable. No show-stopping red flags so far. I have a video in the making to talk about build issues and fixes!

Every time I watch your videos, those sheets on the Murphy bed catch my eye! Do you mind sharing the link to where you purchased them? We are getting ready to pick up our 2021 Solis next week.

@roadstoke 4 месяца назад

Thank you for checking out the videos! These are Costco bedding packs (South Point Home Fashions SPHF) in various designs that change every season (sheet, fitted sheet, 4 pillow cases). We use a queen size in the pop top and a full size in the Murphy bed. Love em.

@eeeerica 10 месяцев назад

I’ve found all your videos so helpful for getting up to speed with our recent Solis purchase. Is there anything you’ve purchased or modified to reduce the internal noise when driving?

@roadstoke 10 месяцев назад

Great question, we have done a few things to improve the driving noise.You can adjust the roof vent above the stove till it stops whistling. We added felt pads in the cabinet doors wherever we heard rattling. Finally, the way we store the ladder, we had to add some thick felt pads between the two halves of the ladder. Unfortunately it's still not as quiet as a car and maybe that's to be expected. We do have to yell a little to talk to the back seat. I'd love to hear what everyone is doing to improve their driving noise!

@joengatia8880 27 дней назад

I could use the rubber mat you have. Do you have to make a special order or where can I get one? Thanks

@roadstoke 27 дней назад

You bet! Link in the description! It’s easy to get on Amazon…

@Rottingboards Месяц назад

How do you use those leveling blocks? Drive up on them? Sorry new to the Solis.

@roadstoke Месяц назад

@@Rottingboards Yep, you drive right up! I recommend a buddy watch from outside the van and direct things for you.

@judyperkins7245 5 месяцев назад

Hi! I considering purchasing a Solis as a upgrade from my Eurovan camper, and I really appreciate your suggestions. Some I've encountered with my current van, but it's good to know what other issues I might encounter with the Solis. In particular, are your front area floor mats custom made? Where can they be purchased? Also, as a seasoned head-bonker, what material did you use for the head bumpers and where can it be purchased? Thanks in advance!!

@roadstoke 5 месяцев назад

Glad I could be of some help and thank you for watching! Owning a camper van is not unlike owning a house, there’s always stuff to fix and upgrade. I like this format a lot, I put links to the floor mat and all of the other upgrades I purchased in the description. Safe adventuring!

@@roadstoke Thanks! I didn't see the description expansion, so I missed all the links. Oops! I appreciate all your helpful information!

@monicae67 2 месяца назад

Thanks! We’re planning on getting the Travato that I believe has the same faucets. I never understood why Winnebago didn’t update the faucets but this will work. Does this install as easy as screwing on or do I need something else for this to attach properly? Would this work with the bathroom sink fixture?

@roadstoke 2 месяца назад

@@monicae67 great question, typically you will first remove the original end piece and screw on the new end piece. If you choose to use pliers, use a cloth under the pliers to not scratch the finish. I always add some white thread sealing tape.

@monicae67 2 месяца назад

@@roadstoke thanks! Do you think this will work with the bathroom sink faucet as well? Certain things that you showed were great ideas. This will be our first RV purchase so this video helps!! As for the water fill hose, I’m going to purchase the one you recommended but I was wondering if you know of any that would allow me to use the water panel and still be able to close the door. 😂😉

Can you share the link for the behind the seat trash bag holder?

@briantudor9850 5 месяцев назад

What front seat pads have you added and do you like them? Thanks.

@roadstoke 5 месяцев назад

I appreciate you watching. I added some generic seat covers from Costco. They are fine, and protect the seat cloth for a season. I’m actually looking at something with a little lumbar support for my next cover.

@jazzis4u1 11 месяцев назад

I’ve had my PX for a few months now. The floor storage doors are a pain if you actually need access. The bathroom door is really a poor design. If you put the bed up you don’t have access to the cabinet above. The placement of the generator is absolutely ridiculous. The extra table under the bed is completely stupid, ditto for the slide out cutting board by the fridge. Space between the bathroom and kitchen galley is too narrow. Laminated cabinets are already starting to bubble and blister. Trying to like this rig but…..

@roadstoke 11 месяцев назад

I feel your pain, this is all familiar. It may console you to know that I've used other class B brands out there that have similar problems and more! A custom build may be the answer? In fact I think these are good points for a "Solis Pain Points" video. We're still stoked on the Solis and my family that have other rigs actually regret not having chose the Solis believe it or not! Thanks for the comment!

@lmt1022 8 часов назад

A different take - I like the floor storage doors for things I don't use frequently. I like the bathroom door for separation. I also open the door and site in front to do my hair and makeup? And, I've used the extra table and cutting board many times. And, finally, I have had no issue with my cabinets bubbling as yet (even the Florida heat and humidity). Keeping my fingers crossed. I love this rig.

@mtbplumber8490 4 месяца назад

Can’t blow your tank by filling,

@roadstoke 4 месяца назад

I guess by blow out I mean the tank expands like a balloon and pushes out your cabinets like mine do. For those researching, Winnebago acknowledges the problem and there appear to be 3 versions of the tank and version 3 appears to be the strongest. They sent me a tank brace to install but it isn’t working to stop my v2 tank from ballooning. I’m in discussions with them on getting version 3, I hope. Unfortunately my tank blows out at 25psi and filling to only 3/4 full. I recommend buying the pressure regulator and never overfill the tank!
