There is enough pep in this 6 cylinder 6 speed to hang in, although on long or steep climbs I find myself in the second to right lane, able to maintain 50 to 60 mph without stomping on the gas excessively, trying to keep the RPMs in the 3000 range. The Sumo springs made a huge difference in cornering feel and side wind gust handling, if not in the actual ride. The stock suspension had me feeling like the van would topple if I had any speed going into a tight curve. I have taken this van on some very gnarly roads, the worst being the Mineral King Road (Sequoia NP), which has 398 curves in 25 miles. Sumo springs are necessary on this chassis, IMHO.The dealer I went to did the rotation without adjusting the pressures and I had to return. If you have the tires rotated, ensure they have the proper pressures before driving away like I did…the fronts should be 65 PSI and the rears 80 PSI. There are tire pressure sensors but this model only provides low pressure warnings, not the ability to see the actual pressures. Speaking of rear view camera, I find the high mounted backup camera on this van provides a nice view, and you can select the rear view camera when driving, if only for a limited time before it defaults away.

The 2021 RAM models have fixed this problem with a camera rear view mirror, but I have not looked into the possibility of an upgrade for the 2020. The rear seat(s) further block the view aft.
#2021 SOLIS WINNEBAGO DRIVER#
Visibility is decent up front, but the rear view mirror only gives the driver a nice view of the door frames….you cannot see the lane behind you, only the periphery. The passenger seat also lacks an armrest. The (swiveling) seats are OK, but I wish for more lumbar support.
The steering wheel telescopes but does not tilt, which I find annoying but have adjusted to it. I can connect my phone for hands free talking and media. This is not a luxury interior, but it gets the job done. The coach has seen baking sun, torrential rain, snow, winds and experienced temperatures from over 100 to minus 9 degrees F. I lived in the Solis for over 3 months straight, August to November. I have driven to and from California, across the western states to Colorado, and to and from California again. To date I have about 14,000 miles on the coach. I took possession of a Solis P in July of 2020, purchasing it in Montana and driving it back to Seattle.
