Not sure about either question and our manuals are in the coach which is in storage. Your salesman should be able to answer those questions. We have only used our bus twice before storing and there were so many gadgets to learn that we only listened to FM radio and felt proud to have figured that much out! LOL.

Good luck and Happy Trails!

Thanks. I'll ask our salesperson tomorrow. He was off today.

DebbieMH,
Yes the radio is iPod and pandora ready. As for Sirius ready I think you need to and an antenna for it. Happy camping and enjoy the new rig. Be sure to post photos of it.

Dondar, nice looking rig. We have a 2014 35b and bedroom slide is on opposite side of coach. Looks like your tow a Jeep....4-dr or 2-dr? We have a 35B and will be towing a 2012 4-dr Jeep 4x4. Our friend has a 2010 Model Jeep and has to disconnect battery when towing to prevent steering from locking. Any comments or suggestions from your towing experience? We haven't towed yet. Thx, and nice looking rig!

We have a 4-door jeep liberty. It doesn't have a steering wheel lock and tows like a dream. Just put the transfer case in neutral, put it in park, remove the key and go. I don't hardly notice that it's back there unless going up a steep grade. We use the Ready Brute Elite tow bar with built in surge brake and find it really easy to use.

Sounds easy enough. Neighbor pulled a Liberty behind his coach, but has since retired from RVing. The 4-dr Wrangler is considerably heavier but you see a lot of them being towed. I'm anxious to get both rigs on the road for a test run. Thx for your feedback.

I just received two samples from him. Going to try a 10 and 12 SMD G4 to see what i like best. Then count how many I need. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

My rig has been in the shop getting serviced and having a few small warranty items taken care of. I should have it back on Moday so I can test the LED's

What did they say about your slide floor?

My rig is in the shop as we speak. They are removing the slide and repairing the whole thing. We shall see how it turns out. I will keep you posted.

We did it .... changed my picture to our new 2014 Excursion 35B ... feel a bit like a traitor trading our beautiful Solera in ... but, we are really going to enjoy this big boy. Picking it up on Friday and then will be heading to St. Augustine the next week for a couple of days. It will be fun getting to know him and learning how to drive the "mother ship".

Kensroomie · 01-13-2014, 03:35 PM

Congrats! You have same model & color as ours. Be prepared for lots of compliments...LOL. RV folks just love to see a new rig. As for the Solera, we thought we'd have separation anxiety from our 24 ft Jamboree, but only regret might be when we fuel up...ha! Be safe, and have fun!

DebbieMH,
Great looking rig !!!! We love the 35B floor plan. It just seems to feel more home like. The fuel mileage is great for a rig this size. Had ours for over a year now and every day we spend in it we enjoy it even more. Congrats and happy camping !!!!

Thanks! We plan on using him quite a bit. We had our Solera for 15 months and put 22,000 miles on it. Hopefully we get comfortable driving the Excursion and will go as much!
