This is a brief explanation of the three shower systems located within the Winnebago Solis 59P. All of these showers are very useful in vanlife and can be used in a variety of ways. #vanlife
Thanks for sharing.....Your lucky to have your Solis......Mine is on its way..... By May 30th.... Have to be patient!....Getting a great heads up through you. Thanks!
Thank you that was much appreciated. I just bought a solace yesterday and would like to see more videos on it. We tried the shower last night, but couldn’t figure out how to get the water hot. Would love to see more solos videos, Where can I find them?
Ensure the propane is on, then select boost on the truma panel, wait about 10 minutes and that seems to work for us. The hot water only stores about 2 gallons, so use it sparingly.
A little late to the part here, but are you able to mount the nozzle in any way or do you need to hold it the entire time? Does the back of the van get wet much from over-spray?
Hi, we just hold the nozzle, because it is more of a spray, then wash, then spray off. However, I bet there could be a way to mount it. We don't get any overspray, but you do have to be aware of where you are spraying the hose, it could easily spray into the van if not careful.
Yes, there are some small screw heads where you can attach the included magnets to hang the black curtain to separate the cabin from the coach. Thanks!
Hey man, awesome videos. Do you ever feel like you need more AC in the back on hot nights, or does the normal AC cool the whole place pretty well when stationary? Also, are there ever times where you really wish you had a generator? Trying to be economical but I don't want to regret not springing for a px. Thank you!
I have never felt that we needed a generator. We don't use too many appliances though and we do have a goal zero that we bring along incase we need it. For the first year, we just used the max air fan and a boundless breeze fan and traveled to cooler locations- and this worked perfectly for us. However, this year, with this summer heat we felt the need to add a portable AC. It will work out great for us, because the majority of the places we go in the summer have access to shore power. If I had to do it again, I would go with the P 100%. But that is a personal choice based on our travel locations. Do you plan on staying at parks or boondocking most of the time? Will you be in cooler or warmer temps? I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions! I don't think you could go wrong with either :)
I would say 4 gallons or so is the longest. We try to keep it shorter than that. We try to get at least 3 days out of the shower with 2 people; so 6 showers. Just be cautious of running the water when you don't need to; ie rise off and then turn the water off, lather up, then turn the water back on to get all the soap off. When you take a shower at a house after you've been traveling in a van, you feel so guilty about wasting all that water! Thanks for the question, Jason.
There’s actually a vent located near the bottom of the shower. So if you have the heater on then it will dry faster with the door closed. Thanks, Jason
@@CarolinaCampervan your welcome man, cant wait to get one of these vsns and see the country! Thanks for the tips on the shower, i wondered how that worked!
Little buddy to ad warmth- great idea!!

Thanks Martin...You're going to love it! I waited 25 years for mine! Take care, Jason.
very nice demo! Thank you!!
Thanks Agnes, we just got back from a 2 week trip out west and the showers performed perfectly! Take care, Jason!
@@CarolinaCampervan that’s awesome! Lots of options. Looking at this van now :)
You got a link for that little heater? Nice video. I'm going to look at a 2023 in the morning.
It's a little buddy, should be able to get it on amazon or lowes. It works great!

Good job 👍

Can you give me the brand of Mattress toppers you bought for both the Murphy bed and the pop up bed? Thanks!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it and hope y'all are enjoying your travels in your pocket!
Planes, trains, automobiles
This (train) happened to him before. And again. I guess they want to be in his video too.
Thanks good to know.
Thanks Dave!
Can that shower curtain be used to section off the driver front area instead of using the windshield covers.
Yes, there are some small screw heads where you can attach the included magnets to hang the black curtain to separate the cabin from the coach. Thanks!

Do you store the wet shower curtain inside the bathroom until it dries off?
We normally keep it outside until it dries
Whats the longest shower you have taken.....can you guesstimate how many gallons.

When you use the shower unit to dry clothes, do you keep the door open? I don’t see vent in the unit so I guess that what you usually do.
There’s actually a vent located near the bottom of the shower. So if you have the heater on then it will dry faster with the door closed. Thanks, Jason
The question is... Are you able to fit all of your parts in the tub 🤣
Hahahaha....It's tight, but we make it work!
😂😂😂
Nice hair !
Thanks my friend!
