It took me a few months to finally find one in Denver. A hitch mounted rack would extend the length of the van by a few feet. #4 Thule Elite Van XT bike rack: Door mounted because I do a lot of cycling and wanted to keep the length profile short. I used the goo and pump to rescue a stranded Tesla on the rough road to Mowich Lake (MRNP). #2 Landed Gear spare tire carrier: Spare tires aren’t needed, until they are. But these covers are so nice it’s almost like getting new seats bonus, I can use a wet wipe to clean them.

Granted, this arrangement is not as elegant as integrated seats, what with cords having to be plugged in to a DC outlet(s) and a squeeze bulb hanging off the side of the drivers seat. I found that the simplistic but effective bulb squeeze lumbar support gives me just that little extra to make long hours in the seat much more comfortable. Wet Okole makes high quality (US manufactured) seat covers where one can add lumbar support and heaters. #1 Wet Okole seat covers: I have mentioned previously that the seats aren’t the best in the Solis P. While hanging in Colorado for the winter I did manage some upgrades of what I considered important for my use. Because I left Colorado for the PNW in the middle of May, my solution was simply not to use city water….”Doctor, it hurts when I move like this….(Doctor): well, don’t move like that.” I have yet to experience any problems when not hooked up to water. Further experimentation determined that water leakage/collection in the cassette bay only happened when hooked up to city water.

The water collecting in the cassette compartment is from something entirely different, and to this day I know not what it is. Now as to the leaky shower pan….not the problem. As in my first blog post, I strongly encourage owners or wannabes to join the Solis Facebook Group, where these and other issues and concerns are discussed, as well as tips and tricks…lots of good information.

And the latest involves the fresh water tank bulging when full and splitting the wood framing under the sink area, reportedly caused by a “bad batch” of tanks. Also many owners are having problems with the forward floor water hookup either not working or leaking. Another area of concern with leakage is water collecting around the pop top, especially if the van is parked on a nose down slant, then leaking into the van when the vehicle is moved. However, potential purchasers should be aware of serious problems that have cropped up among owners of the Solis: Water leaks in the “pizza oven” area (storage compartment above the cab), usually caused by improper sealing of the running lights when they were reinstalled on the upper front roof area. The good news is that I haven’t had a breaker or fuse trip since the repair and have experienced no further electrical problems in the van. The problem was in the wiring, or so they said. They were finally able to obtain a basic schematic (see above) of the undercarriage electrical box and apparently that 5 Amp breaker was correctly placed. The electrical problem that I described in that post turned out to be inaccurate. I spent months dealing with an authorized service center outside Colorado Springs with an outfit that underwent serious personnel changes and sketchy record keeping. First I want to address a few things from the prior blog post.
