Slightly. There is a big thread on here about MPG for Solera. Looks like everyone is getting 13-15.

I'm the wrong person to ask if you should trade a unit in. I'm the sales rep at the factory...I'd prefer everyone trade in every year.

1. Yes, but with the firmware upgrades some are no longer having issues.
2. Not sure what you mean about the A/C Fridge.
3. There is an LED light strip under the awning. With the SE package there is also LED lights on the interior.

Our 2014 has LED lights as a standard feature under the awning so they work whether the awning is extended or retracted. I believe all of the interior lights are now LED and both seats now are on the swivel base. FR seems to be quite receptive to suggestions/complaints voiced here on the forum. Thanks to FR and BCLEMENS!

I know Dometic offers LED Universal lighting kits...but I'm not sure how "plug and play" they are. It's a power awning so maybe you can tie into the existing power...but I have no experience with them. You can check with the dealer or the Dometic web site.
