Travis, New to your channel. Thank you for the tour.We are just getting interested in the prospect of acquiring a small camper van, perhaps a gently used one. I like the design of the Solis, but is there a slightly smaller version? We are three adults, farming in New Hampshire. Me, my husband and brother-in-law. We have been sheltering in place on our working farm since March 2020. I asked my husband if he would consider getting a small camper van with restroom/ kitchen and seats for three to four passengers. We are hoping to take day trips around NH and surrounding states. My husband suggested renting a unit first to see how we like it. Since we cannot take extended vacations due to the nature of our working farm and the pandemic, this may be a wonderful option! Thank you for any help on this subject~ Diane.... P.S. - Do yo have an email address?
The Solis 59P or the Coachmen Nova are the smallest camper vans that we carry. Here's an email address for Travis! tsmith@mountcomfortrv.com or you can give him a call 1-800-899-6676
Great overview, very interested in these B class vans! If you sold in CA, I'd buy one from you. Total noob questions here - 1) Are you allowed to park these B class vans on the street, or are they classified under 'RV Parking only'. 2) Does the 59PX come with a nicely visible back up camera? I imagine parallel parking it would be a tall order.
You can park these in a regular parking spot. They have a great back-up camera...nice sized monitor. And we sell to people all over the country. Fly in, we'll pick you up at the airport, buy it, and camp in it on the way home!
When Winnebago did the VW Eurovan and Vanagon camper they did a better job then this! Why would you put steps inside a van floor? I can see a lot issues with injuries by tripping over them in the middle of the night! Doesn't make sense! 3k towing is a joke too! Vanagon and Eurovan had higher towi rating then that!
My thought is that the step-up areas started off with them having to run wires, pipes, etc. from one side of the van to the other. Since everything is inside the van (for better all season capabilities) instead of having the stuff sitting there, or a small hump, they raised those sections completely. They added storage there so that's good, and as far as injuries or tripping, i'm sure it's something you get used to very quickly once you live in it. The 3500 tow rating is the limitation of the Dodge Promaster chassis so it's not Winnebago's choice
@@skinnysurvivor103 so you are telling me Winnebago is choosing to move backwards in design! It is Winnebago choice to use a 3500 lbs towing vehicle. They could of use another vehicle chassis but didn't, bad decision making and poor design! Winnebago does this in other rv lines for example using a propane generator when the vehicle runs on diesel! They do this crap all the time now!
@@ndg9367 The Dodge Ram Promaster is the most popular cargo van for conversions, so you'll see the same tow rating from the other companies too since it's the same chassis. This isn't the only model Winnebago makes. Even in just the class B space, there's also the Revel on the Sprinter chassis which can tow up to 5000 pounds. That's not even considering all the Class A's, Class C's etc. which can usually tow more. Choosing an RV is all about give-and-take and making certain sacrifices to fit your needs.
@@ndg9367 Think you forgot about price point vehicles. What you are asking is not in this model as the purpose of a solis is affordability, which is why it uses the lower cost chasis. It may eventually come by in time when theres a higher towing capacity class B RV for less.
@@taita2080 this vehicle is not cheap by any standard. Yes, cheaper than the Mercedes Sprinter but not much cheaper than the Ford Transit. Plus I wouldn't own anything that is pure Fiat.
I watch a lot of RUclips, you do a very nice job, smooth. Appreciate the time and effort, very informative.
Excellent comparison - thanks Travis.
I've seen a lot of vans now and this is still overall my favorite. I wish the bath was a bit bigger though.
What is the MSRP of the 59P without the pop-top.
I have a quick question, does the 59PX have a vent fan anywhere in it? I plan to work using the back area and I want the fumes to be sucked out.

Probably 12ish.
