Great video and seems to be consistent among owners that even with the few items that need some help, everyone would do it again. We currently have a blank Sprinter 4x4 2500 tall van, but no longer have the time to DIY or want to do so. We are hoping that we may be able to sell it and without too much extra investment, get a Solis. How would you say it handles over rougher gravel roads/climbs? My only concern is the clearance if we try to get off the pavement. Nothing too technical, but we have definitely used out 4x4 in the Sprinter before. Cheers!

Do you find it a pain to have the water hose city connection inside and cannot hook up outside as in other RVs? I saw on another video about the Solis that you either have the water house sticking out of the non closed doors or fill it and then use your water pump and not have the water hose sticking out the back. Great video. I am looking to buy in a few years but the Solis seems to have what I want. I agree with lithium and inverter. Thank you.

Hello, I just bought a portable AC for my small RV and I have a generator and I’m thinking of using my portable AC but do you recommend for me to connect my 30 amp to the generator directly or should I just plug-in my portable AC to the generator with an extension cord?

This may have already been mentioned, but I did not scroll through all the comments. One reason the water tank may bulge (not say this happened to you) is filling through the city pressure tank fill. If one does not turn off in time, the tank will quickly pressurize as the overflow can not handle the volume of pressurized inflow. And this pressure causes the tank to expand. Ask me how I know? Fortunately the tank I did this too had lots of space around it. It took quite a while for the water to quit draining through the overflow. A fun experiment would be to fill one of these tanks either the tank or a fitting failed. Thanks for the video. I am considering the 59PX non pop top as Van 2.0 after a good experiences in my Solis 36A. Solis 36A was perfect proof of concept camper van for me.
