The swivel seats were part of an option package that I ordered with my 2014 24R. Now I believe they are standard with the Solera.

Belive you are correct Mikegjax think swivel seats are now standard. Our 2014R has them and does not show as an option on invoice unless part of the package. Sure do like the seating they provide for guests. We really enjoy the reclining loveseat we installed in place of the jackknife sofa. Very comfy now and enjoy just relaxing at the end of a busy day.

B Clemens, just wondering if the swivel seats are standard, and if they are, can you tell us (older solera owners) who you source from, I think thats a slick upgrade. Thanks

BadBob, the seats, Ultra leather and a few other items were all part of an upgrade package that has now become std.

I am sure I got one of the first soleras where the swivel seats were standard, mine came of the production line march 2013. Because I did not know I already ordered the swivel upgrades from Eurocamper before I got my MH. The ones from Euorocamper and the installed ones look identical.

Swivel seats are standard on any Sprinter we build. We don't handle the aftermarket swivels, but several links are listed on several threads in the Solera forum.

We get them from Mercedes as a standard chassis build

My Sunseekolera (2015 2400R MBS) came with 2 swivels - standard.

Wish mine had, would have saved me $500. :-{

[bclemens]

not really. I think the option from Mercedes was closer to $800. You would have paid either way. You may have just felt better about it...ignorance is bliss.

Funny
Installed the swivel
Even bought an ottoman
Used it once
That was a year ago

Have used mine a few times and like them. Plan on using them more now that I have the window sun shades. Did not like using them with the curtain.

We are also going to have a metal frame welded to go under the other dinette bench seat so that we can tether an additional seatbelt on the opposite side. Our kids hate sitting next to each other (they like to play cards and games), and instead of one of them not being seatbelted at all, that will be better than nothing.

I also love the mod of the washer/dryer in the back outside storage compartment - can't wait to talk the DH into that one!

Hi, knutter....
Please let me know about your mod for the seat belt issue. We will occasionally have our two grandsons with us, and I know sitting next to one another will not be the best scenario, and they will not travel without some harness!
Thanks so much!

MikeGjax are you using the silver sun shades?

I'd like to do something different for the cab curtain. One that lets you use the cab area on all models. I've run a few protos but nothing really works all that well for privacy and ease of setup/take down.

[Mikegjax]

Yes, silver on the outside, white inside. Door shades held in place with suction cups, front with tight fit and sun visors. I really like them. I know some companies use the permanently mounted pleated accordion type. Nice, but very pricey!

I built this little step/storage bin to fit between the cabin seats. Both tops open for access. My dog likes to sit there sometimes.

We bought the same ones from High-End Motorsports, based on your recommendation and others here. Seventy dollars well spent - they look good, keep the sun out, and are easy to put up and stow away.
Thanks again!

We actually like these:



Relatively inexpensive (~$100), easy to put up and take down, inside of the cab so weather is not an issue, etc.

I got the information for High-End Motorsports from another member on this forum. Great recommend.
