solera

I'm just about to pick up a new Solera and I'm a little confused about VIN numbers. I've found the chassis (Mercedes) VIN number, but haven't found another (Forest River) VIN for the motorhome. The dealer seems to think that the Mercedes VIN covers the motorhome as well, but that doesn't match...

My husband and I are about to retire and have never owned a TT or an RV but we did have a pop-up during the 80's. We thought we had our minds made up and were going to purchase a 22' Surveyor 226 TT. But after thinking about it, we now think a small RV will suit our needs. We are looking at the...

Sorry for length - First time RV purchase, I have 3 children and have narrowed my choice down to a 24J View or a Solera 24s. I eliminated the Thor Siesta based on forums and the pdf here. I have been contacted by several View/Itasca dealers, and they argue that their much higher price is...

I note that on the back-up camera monitor of my 2013 Solera 24R, there is a "V1/V2" button. Pressing it toggles between a camera view and a "no signal" error message, leading me to believe that it is possible to view feeds from two different cameras on the monitor. Has anyone added a second...

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?

Just saw a Solera at the Rest Area on I-90 near Chamberlain, SD. Their license plate was from Florida. We get excited when we see one! Sent from my iPhone using Forest River Forums

Just learned this weekend that the Sunseeker came out in a diesel version similar to the Solera and see Forester also. So what is the difference between the 3? Do the Sunseeker and Forester have more outdoor storage? We just drove past a dealership 2 days ago and saw a 24 ft diesel Sunseeker on...

We are complete newbies to the RV world. We are interested in looking at and test driving a Solera to narrow our decision between it and the Leisure Travel Unity. The problem is we cannot find a dealer within 300 miles of us. Is there a User group in the VA area I can contact privately to...

What is the difference between the Forester on MBS Chassis and the Solera? Is there a price difference?

We have just purchased a 2013 Solera 24s and part of the required documents in order to insure it we need the Recall Clearance Letter from Forest River including the Mercedes Chassis. We are on a time crunch and I have tried in vain to get ahold of various devisions that I have been directed to...

Looking for some experience here. I have 5,000 miles on my Solera and love it overall. I've read much on the tire pressure and blow-out and valve stem issues so I am rather blurry on the whole mess. I am new to dually rear wheels and had no idea they could be so troublesome. Mine has rubber...

Would any of you folks know what the max weight allowance is for the rear slide (bed) on the 2014 Solera 24 R? Thanks!!

Hi all - 1st post, be gentle! I am the giddy owner of a 2015 Sunseeker MBS 2400S (actually it's an -R but that's something for another post in the proper forum). I have been trolling the various FR forums and am not sure where I belong. My coach is a 2014 Sprinter 3500 with a 2015 2-slide...

Took delivery of my new Solera on Monday and discovered that the view through rear/backup camera is partially obscured by rear slide topper. I have learned that FR is aware of this issue and the fix is a different camera bracket. Don't know whether other owners have had this issue, but glad...

Bought the Solera in December, and we've been out a couple of times, and our son's and families have taken it several times. Still getting used to it. We're new to Forest River, but not new to camping or RVs. My family had a Santa Fe trailer in the 60s, followed by a Coleman tent trailer...

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. I'm now in the countdown stage for the number of starts I have before the engine goes into limp mode. I topped up the tank again when I got home, but the light is...

On the 2015 Solera 24R, there two plates for tv connectivity. There is the standard wall plate with the 12volt outlet and the connector for the tv and also the booster switch. same old, same old. However, there is an additional plate alongside and it has two connectors with an rg6 coax cable...

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?

I have a 2015 24R ready to pick up from the dealer next week and would like to know how much DEF the new models hold.

Presently, I own a 2013 Lexington 283 GTS, and am now looking at purchasing a new 2014 or 2015 Solera 24R. It is only my wife and myself so the smaller size would work. What I am really looking for is much better handling on the road and possibly not having a toad behind. My wife and I drove a...

Solera owners, can you chime in on how much mileage you have currently on your OEM tires. Would like to hear about how well they are performing. Please include Brand and Model of the tire. Will be a good reference I think on buying replacements.

Saw two Solera's today in Biloxi; wait one of those was mine.:)

I have a 2011 Solera. When I run the microwave while running the air conditioner it trips the circuit breaker. Does this mean I need to replace the circuit breaker?

Hi, we'd like to hang a 19" flatscreen tv near our bed in our Solera 24r. We have AC and cable plug on the wall that is the outside of the closet closest to the bed. The wall also has a light switch and slide out button. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to do this? It feels...
