@@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.

@@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. 😂😉

@@wesleyellison2944 Great idea. We started making a “Van Adventure List” which changes after every trip. I may try a video about our packing list…

@@Gius_13 Good question, I’m 6’2” and the poptop is plenty long for me. It may be good up to 6’4” or more. In the Murphy bed, I do have to sleep diagonally. We have not had roof leak problems but some people report leaky roofs from manufacturing defects. We do live in very dry Utah so heavy rain isn’t an issue most of the time here.

@@EdD-r1v Great point!

@@JustinOpinionChannel I thumbs up that!

@@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.

I've been entertaining the idea for a video about our experience renting our Solis. We're still renting it but it's work! Thank you for the feedback, I'll nudge it up my todo list!

Thank you so much, I appreciate you checking out my videos here! I'm always interested in hearing from other Solis owners, we need a local meetup or something. For winter time, it's kinda tough with kids due to no water and the pop top sleeping is FREEZING. It's usually just two of us in the winter and we keep it simple.

I appreciate you watching!

I got the seat set from Costco. They’re decent, and we are on a second set starting our third season…

@@roadstoke Thank you! They look comfortable.

@@pmendez9329 Of course, thank you for watching!

I appreciate the comment, I think you’re right. After a dozen more fill ups, the tank still expands far enough to push out the cabinet so I’m trying to get more help from Winnebago. It’s clear now the tank was poorly designed and I think the tank fill overflow valve isn’t robust enough. I doubt many people even use a pressure regulator like I do. I may have an update video coming again hopefully with a good solution!

Thank you for watching! We do love it, despite the rig being a massive depreciating asset needing maintenance and repairs. I think the Solis is good bang for the buck for a mainstream class B. The Solis modding community is fun too.

Thanks for watching! The whistling is usually the vent in the roof/poptop. Try opening it partially when you drive. Some crafty folks have 3-D printed a cap to place over the vent to reduce the whistle!

It would be nice to park in the garage. The Solis 59px is 9’6” tall, it’s not even close to fitting in our standard two-car garage let alone under the open garage door. I don’t know how tall the Solis with out AC and poptop is but that won’t likely fit in most garages either.

Yes I did buy a bunch of stuff! It’s a smart revenue generator for Costco. Sadly more than half of the 5 hours was driving, testing PSI and driving more :(

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!

Glad you’re able to rent your rig too! We are renting to cover costs and maybe cut back on renting someday. We’re not getting rich renting our rig that’s for sure! I do plug in the Solis to our house with an extension cable to top it off maybe once a month. I have a link to the house power adapter in the description. Because I’m so booked out already, these upgrades won’t change my revenue, but someday for my own convenience, I could see lithium being nice!

Glad you found it useful and thank you for watching!

I’m sure with care your AGMs should last many years. I’m happy with the final price, I was expecting much worse!

That’s a great idea, another commenter here mentioned it and I’ve now tried it. Works great! The foldable toilet is a bit bigger and more comfortable but more hassle.

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.

Thank you for watching! I’m still learning!

Yes! I have links to the trash receptacle and all gadgets we like best… thank you for checking out the video!

@@roadstoke Thank you, I found the link!

Here you go, I'll copy and paste here, I hope this helps! There is debate among Solis owners about using some features while you drive (propane, generator, water pump...) but I thinks it's worth being safe. I'm curious what others like on their checklist. CHECK LIST: 1. Turn off Water Pump 2. Turn off LP Gas Switch 3. Turn off Generator 4. Close and lock Fridge, Bathroom Door, Cabinets 5. Clear Countertop, Table, and secure belongings 6. Fasten Seat Belts, seat position 7. Adjust Side Mirrors. (Note: Side mirrors only close electronically) 8. Disengage Parking Brake

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!

If the tank is well designed, it should briefly bulge to deal with water movement (sideways in turns or vertically in bumps) but then return to its original shape. It could be that your brace caused the movement of water to push on the cabinet rather than just briefly bulging the water tank. I forget what you said in your first video but if your tank doesn’t have a permanent bulge that needs support, maybe all you need to do is remove the brace and repair the cabinet (maybe just gentle hammer work?).

@@maxwest720 I appreciate the insights! The cabinet was easy to re-anchor with the stock brackets. My tank bulges often but doesn’t go back to its original shape unfortunately. I have to push it back into shape pressing hard with my feet. I’ve seen another tank model out there, I may look into it…

Yep, it feels like a core design flaw. Either the tank needs to be stronger and the overflow valve needs to handle more pressure.

That’s a great idea

Thanks for watching! By popular demand, I’ve put links for my favorite upgrades in the video description. The sink cover, and nozzle are there. Let me know if I missed anything. Safe travels!

Great question, we have a collapsible BPA-free sink we'll use in the Solis or in our Bean teardrop trailer. amzn.to/3vzrCVz affiliate link. We fill the sink judiciously with fresh wash water from our portable water jugs etc. It's more like camping and you will dump it at your campsite or a restroom.. Otherwise for our typically short winter trips we use paper plates and water bottles. Thank you for watching!

That's a great idea to use the regular toilet. Love it. Safe travels!

Same!

Hey thank you for the comment! Glad it’s helpful, I’m learning a lot every trip and from the community. I’ll share any handy tips I come across…

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.

Your experience sounds similar to mine with my dealership. Glad you found it useful and thanks for watching! You may get something from my other video on top things to buy for your new Solis… save adventuring!

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!

Thanks for watching! I think there was so much I wanted to learn when I first got the Solis, I kind of overdid it with the video. But more to come!

Thanks for watching! There are mods out there where folks wire for and add a microwave in their Solis. We make a lot of sandwiches, fried eggs, pasta, cooked breakfasts, rice, and we boil water for hot drinks etc. For our style of cooking we don’t miss a microwave. I do think the fridge is sufficient for long trips but we bought a 12v Fridge Freezer for various adventures that we occasionally bring in the van… stored under the Murphy bed or in the rear gear garage.

Thanks for watching and congrats on your new adventure rig! I do recommend watching my other video on the top 15ish items to pick up for your new rig, there may be a few helpful things to make adventure life easier…

Great tip! I appreciate the comment!

Glad you liked it!

We picked up these seat covers at the local Costco. I do like them, especially for the price! We didn’t want to pay for custom covers, these lasted two heavy seasons.

We probably felt the same way you did when we pick up ours ha. We learned a ton through trial and error! Thanks for watching!

Agreed, it is! Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching! More to come!

You bet, thank you for catching that. It’s worked great for us and we still use it. I’ve added the link to the description too.. amzn.to/3SaPciF

Thank you for watching! 👍

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

Glad it was helpful! I’ll trying share all the tidbits I can in these videos…
