Today we had our first schwintek motor fail on our side slide and we are out on the road in the Outer Banks. I like to be prepared so I have been carrying a spare motor for 2 years. Our 24R uses four motors between the 2 slides and fortunately they are all the same.
I reviewed the motor...
I have a stress crack in the fiberglass under the center of the floor on my 2011 Forest River Solera.It runs diagonally from one floor cross beam to another . What would have caused this and is it anything to be concerned about. I've attached three photos but it's hard to orientate this.
FOR SALE: 2014 Solera 24S Motorhome in excellent condition. We have taken great trips, but we're not going to continue to get the use out of it as we had planned. This has a Mercedes Sprinter 3500 diesel engine. Gets great MPG at an average of 14 mpg depending where and how you drive. At 24...
I have a 2014 Solera 24R and need to find a close match for the burgundy body paint. Has anyone found a paint that is close? Does not need to be exact as only doing a few spots but the paint sample that came with the RV when new is dried up so of no use. Any advice?
Anyone change their own fuel filter on their Solera. Estimate at the Mercedes dealer was $318. Sounds kind of rich to me. But on the other hand $200 for a oil change sounds high also.
I also have developed a oil leak and found out it is the power steering hose. The dealership said that has been...
Hello. First trip of 2nd season and I tried to extend awning and nothing happened. The fuse/breaker panel in middle room is all good. Camper is still under warranty, but they can't get me in for a month. Any ideas? I'm thinking there may be a fuse hidden somewhere. Thanks in advance for any...
We just purchased a 2011 Solera, Dodge chassis, with a Mercedes engine. Can anyone share some light on possibilities for tow vehicles? I know it has to be light wight. We've always had fifth wheel trailers before, so towing a vehicle is new to me.
Thanks,
Hello,
Finally, it is warm enough in Northern Florida to deploy the awning !
But, my awning is dead, no movement at all. I found a 15 amp fuse in the staircase next to the BIRD, power there, power also at the switch but nothing is moving.
Is there another fuse somewhere ? I read about a 30...
Hi, Newbie here.
My new awning doesn't retract completely in the rear. I noticed a set screw at the top edge of the roller arm can that be the adjustment to move the arm over to complete the retraction?
Solera owner for 3 years but first time on the forum. Our rear bed mattress has split open. Does anyone know how to order replacements for the mattress with covers in a tougher fabric? It is the version that has 2 triangles that lay over each other and split apart when the rear slide is...
Hello- I've been a member I think of this forum since the beginning of November. Can't seem to get logged in properly, but today its working. So I posted the other day that my tv wasn't working and people responded! Thanks so much. I don't know how to post my response. I can say that the site...
Hello-I posted yesterday that my tv suddenly quit working. I have goofed up so badly my name and password. I have to reply this way.
OK. The replies I got centered around fuse being blown. I don't even know where my fuse panel is - HELP! I think it may be in one of the storage bin areas, right...
Posted earlier this year that the 11 foot awning on the slide of our 2016 Cruiser 315RL had failed. Bought 5er used from everyone's favorite super store, CW. No surprise that six months and a couple visits later and still no resolution. Had to purchase new awning motor out of pocket. The LCI...
Steps quit on me on my trip west. Lippert "Coach Step" model, two stepper. Examined it in my shop and found the little gear motor that positions the steps to be shot. Got to thinking about installing a new one myself and can picture the output gear of the little gear motor having to be installed...
