mileage

[madvetos]

Can I get some idea of what kind of mileage I should expect. Also is it bad etiquette to ask about price thanks for any help

[simplyrwc]

Maybe elaborate on what type of vehicle.

I can't answer your question, but you'll find that there is a wealth of information here. Lot's of really informed people. However, you'll find them more inclined to offer their assistance if you'll use a little more "tact" and try not to sound quite so "abrasive". Good luck.

Welcome, There are several floor plans and possibly several drivetrain options on the Solera. Listing a Year, Make, Model, Engine, will help

Also, lots of people just browse all recent discussions, they dont go to a specific forum, so they might miss the fact they are on the Solera board.

We have a 24S, towing a car we get about 13 MPG, other wise we get about 15 MPG. Hope that helps.

I get same but it really depends on conditions. Wind really decreases it and if you speed or stop and go driving it goes down.

My bad...my apologies.

To the OP...ironic you'd include a question about etiquette when your first reply to someone trying to be helpful is that they should have noticed the subforum they are in. Bad form sir, bad form.

Because I could just as easily say to you, have you not noticed the Search button at the top of the page?

It was my fault. I was reading the "unread" and didn't check what sub forum I clicked into on my phone. And I was half asleep.

You r correct I should have been more informative I just assumed too much. sorry I do not own a solera yet but would be thinking about new, that is why I asked about talking about pricing, but then again I should have said new. Thanks for the advice I really appreciate the help.

I have the 24R - expect an average of 14. I had as low as 12.5 and as high as 17, it all depends on fuel itself, wind and speed, how much weight, a/c running etc....
If you tow something - I don't know. Once I was towing a U-Haul trailer 1200 miles from Naples FL to Warrensburg Mo fully loaded (total about 3000lbs) and hardly noticed a difference.

You know even through I do not own one I find the MPG interesting, That's really pretty good much better then I would have thought. Loefflerh is yours gas or diesel ?

[Loefflerh]

Solera 24r - to my knowledge there is no gasser.....one of the reasons I decided on the solera. That diesel engine is so nice - powerful and quiet plus a lot more legroom then in all those Ford V 10's .......
With a gas engine do not expect to get any better then 9mpg...my own experience, but fuel is cheaper!

[Taylorgso]

My 24MS (No longer offered) started out getting 12-12.5 mpg. There is a break-in period. When I traded I had 7400 on the clock and was getting 15.5-15.8 mpg. I'm a conservative driver, however - if you like to "lead the pack" you'll get less. If towing, I'd subtract 1-1.5 mpg from these figures towing a moderate size car (I towed a Mazda3). As to price, you can get a good feel for pricing by checking out what on-line retailers are quoting, and that's usually not their BEST price. I'd shoot for no less than 30% off MSRP. And make sure it's a manufacturers' sticker, rather than one the dealer generates. Taxes and transport are additional and dealers don't discount those items. Be prepared to walk, make sure they have your number - guarantee they'll call you back.

Take a look at RVDirect - Lowest prices on Jayco and Forest River RVs. . Pick your motor home with options and see MSRP. Submit your choices and get a quote via email. You will be surprised at the difference and how simple.
