On this channel, we just want to simply log our adventures and educate others on where we go and the equipment we use. We enjoy tent camping and have recently dove into the realm of RV camping with an Intech Sol Dawn Rover trailer.
Hopefully, we can help others to enjoy camping as much as we do!

Thankyou .this is exactly what I was looking for.
Very helpful information! Thank you!
Where does it get the power source
It works by rerouting your trailer's existing power coupler. So it would pull power from your RV 12V system.
That looks helpful. We have yet to use the toilet or a dump station. Can you tell me if there is a sewer hose that fits into the Sol Dawn hose compartment under the trailer?
@@loriholder895 There certainly is. Check out this link, it has all the gear we use for dumping: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRVCiVO80Vyy9QklT1RMMZctF5NNA4e_zsTx6L6GDMJ81cfs2xnuBOc_jusHTAzA0pQ_DQteW7419q7/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true We purchased a hose kit that has 2-10’ sewer hoses. We typically only use the one, but you never know if you will need an extension. One 10’ hose fits in the storage tube under your camper.
Thank you for all your videos. I hope to buy a Dawn so your channel is very helpful. Do you have the off grid solar package? Do you have a weight distribution hitch or sway bar? What do you tow with? I don't see a lot of Dawns on the road. Please continue your great work it is a value to others.
@@KatJ-k4h We post the videos cuz there were none when we got our and had so much to learn. No solar package but it’s on the list. Dealer put on a WDH with sway bars, but we don’t use it. I take back roads, so not going super fast and many of the roads are twisty. I didn’t like it. I don’t believe Intech had them in mind since these are smaller and light weight trailers. They started putting on reinforcement plates since so many folks started using them. It’s a hot debate. Some love them some don’t. I personally don’t think it’s necessary. However, there are many factors to consider so keep researching. We tow with a Honda Pilot. We love our Dawn and it’s pretty easy to set up and maintain. ♥️
May I ask what your tow capacity is? I see there are different Pilot packages. Thank you again for your insights.
@@KatJ-k4h The tow capacity for our Honda Pilot is rated for 5000# only with the added transmission cooler.
We have just discovered your channel, and really appreciate the information and the presentation. Newbies and seniors both, so need all the help we can get! So far we are enjoying our 2022 Sol Dawn Rover!
Congratulations and thanks for the feedback!! We love our Dawn, but it was our first camper. We started this channel to share what we learn in the hopes it can help others get up and out camping quicker!! 😀
👍 me encantó su aventura
@@estrellagarcia7277 Muchas gracias 😊
We are thinking of buying a Sol Dawn but as our tow vehicle will be a Tesla Model Y I'm concerned about range. I've looked high and low for someone's review of towing a Sol Dawn with a Tesla but no luck. Plenty of examples of Casita's just no inTech. Have you ever seen a Tesla towing a Sol trailer?
Yes, I have seen several posts with folks towing the Dawn with a Tesla. You may want to check out and join The Official InTech Sol Dawn and Eclipse Group on Facebook. Lots of good reference information there. You can relax in your Dawn while chargin 🔋😀

Super light weight! Every ounce counts when you are towing a trailer 😁
Hey, would you like to review our new SUV Tailgate Tent?
You can send any information to the email address listed on my channel with any details and we can discuss further from there. 😊

Lol - nice! 👍🏼
I never thought about bringing my little Intech Luna to a regular car wash! I am sooo doing that!
Truck stops will often have a drive thru wash service as well. 😁
I cant believe I am just seeing your content now! New subscriber here with a youtube channel myself with an Intech Luna Rover! We always talk about the next step to an Intech Sol Dawn! Great stuff! 🎉
We started the RV shopping thinking teardrops and smaller units. We had seen a SOL while camping and thought we would never be able to have a camper like that. But then we found a used one and here we are!! I’m a tall guy so the Dawn is pretty nice for me. We are a family of three, so it can be a tight fit, but this size trailer works out well for us. Thanks for subscribing! We follow you as well, keep up the great work! Happy camping!⛺️
Great video. I love that place.
I love that these videos are about Virginia.
Ok, you should have a hundred thousand subscribers and more. You are doing a great job with these videos. Please keep making them. God bless and protect you always 🙏.
Thank you! ♥️
I’m down in Florida and on the way to a campsite I stopped at a car wash that you wash yourself and I was able to drive my sol dawn threw it and the top of the roof didn’t even come close to the swivel part of the hose.
Yep, we would have done something like that but were short on time. Next we are going to try a wash at a truck stop.
Looks great! It's interesting to see how you've chosen to use the storage spaces. Note that some Sol owners have found that a tension rod in the bathroom has separated the walls at the corners. Happy trails!
Thanks for the info on the tension bar, that is something I had not considered. We tend to use the bathroom as a temp closet space/mud room. Maybe I can find a way to string a clothesline instead. Definitely, something to keep an eye on! Thanks again and Happy Camping!! 😀
@@thecampingpost Look into well-reviewed suction cup clotheslines and towel bars. Enjoy your beautiful Sol!
@@StaceyandMikeHoleman LOL!! 🤣Just installed a suction towel bar. I use the tension rod for jackets. We also like the suction storage bins too: th-cam.com/video/iWjaVCqbz_A/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video.
Yea
Does your one bed cushion ever fall through
We have heard that others have had this issue, but it has not been a problem for us.
LOL.....before we had a Sol Dawn, we had a Dutchmen Pop up and three kids. Daughter HATED camping and her father installed cable for her, so to get them to go, it can get a little silly! Side note, she will be 39 and she hasn't changed her stance on camping! =P
Cracks me up as well because from my perspective, this isn't really camping. I guess some either like it, hate it or tolerate it! 🤣 Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thanks for responding. Definitely going to look into the leveler! Also, I really enjoy your channel. There aren’t many specific to the Sol line. I have a 2020 Dawn and just love it. Happy Camping g!
Thanks! We have a 2021 Dawn Rover. We couldn’t have picked a better travel trailer as in introduction to the RV life. It was daunting at first, but now super easy to set up and go!! 😁
Question - how do you use them when you need to prop up the vehicle to get it level side to side, like rolling one tire up onto blocks?
We use the BAL Leveler. You can see us use it in this video Setting Up our Sol Dawn: th-cam.com/video/kMWtmtwG9Aw/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared It’s certainly more expensive than leveling blocks, but we think it’s worth it!! amzn.to/4aEQYRe
That does actually look pretty useful
We use it to quickly lock our camper tires in place when we park. Much more secure than standard wheel chocks. 😀
Does the electrical cord come with the camper?
We bought our Dawn used, but it did come with the 30 amp power cable. Intech has a replacement: intech.com/marketplace/shop/parts/electrical/shore-cord-30-amp/ There also seems to be cheaper alternatives on Amazon as well: amzn.to/3PR6aCy
Just bought some, can’t wait to try them when we are tent camping !
These are great for tent or RV. We even use them in the house when the power goes out. 😀
How many hours using??
The description states 3 to 7.5 hours when fully charged. It will depend on what setting you use. These have lasted us for both nights on weekend trips without having to charge.
I’m not even sure what that is but it must be the greatest
Aint no one want to buy that
What vehicle do you tow with
Honda Pilot Touring. We added the additional transmission cooler to achieve the 5000# tow capacity rating.
Love the marine hatch idea!
Hoping to try it later this season 😀
What was the size of the screw and washer? Sorry I’m new to rv life and tools in general
I’m not exactly sure what size for screw and washer. Just happened to be some lying around. I wanna saw it was a half inch washer. These are galvanized, leftover from a deck project.
What are the attachments you have dangling in front wrapped around the hitch, They look like black stabilizers? 5:03
Those are part of the weight distribution hitch. The dealer we punched from installed it. Cut up the rack to do it 🙁. We don’t really like or use them. Our trips are not long and fast, mostly back roads and slower speeds.
@@thecampingpost oh ok. Thank you!
What's the difference between this and the mountaineer 2x?
The Mountaineer 2x has the same amount of BTU and essentially the same burner set up, but is quite more expensive. It's a little larger and heavier. It can be outfitted with legs to make a standing grill. That's a little more than we need for our camping, but if you wanted more cooking area, it might be a good choice. amzn.to/3TZkz2h
How much less bright are they than the cafe lights? Thank you!
These lights produce a nice warm glow around our campsite, plenty of light to see and not blinding. I personally prefer these over the Cafe Style Bistro Lights. Many of the lights I see at campsites are way to bright. Plus, these are so small and easy to pack.
This video is outstanding. I’m 2 mins in and following it to the T.
Thanks for watching!! We found there weren’t many tutorials out there for the Dawn, so we make our own. Sometimes I watch my own videos to remind me how to do these things!!!
Whoa i didnt know dr drew was into camping.
🤣
Cool

Informative video and liked it. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Thanks for watching and subscribing to our channel! 😁
You are welcome.
Thank You , always something
You bet! Makes sense why folks don’t drink the water from their tanks, you can’t ensure it’s clean. We will keep working on this one. 🔨
That is a cool Idea. We have a Sol Horizon and may do this hack. How do you like your Dawn?
Thanks!! It really helps us set up faster 😀💨. We like our Dawn a lot. We used to do tent camping and had to take so much stuff. With the Dawn, everything but clothes and food are packed so we can roll a lot faster than we used to. A lot less trips loading and unloading. Sleeping arrangements can be tight, but it's sufficient. Overall, as our first RV we are supremely happy 😃 !!
We are switching from tent camping too. Will be a nice upgrade!
Love the vid; never seen coffee made this way. A summer tip; when using A/C and want to use that same eletric single stove outside; plug in directly to the pedestal this way when the A/C is running the breaker doesn’t pop…
Our camping coffee maker is essentially a French Press style of making coffee. We like to keep it fancy 🤣! J/K It actually an easy way to make it, takes up a lot less space in the camper and is useful for backpack or tent camping as well. 😃 Good tip on plugging other exterior accessories direct into the pedestal. Makes total sense!! Hey, thanks for watching!!
Clever… so how was the wine from which the cork came from lol Top notch vids .. like the simple of the vids..
LOL, it was a champagne cork 😁 🍾 🥂I guess preventing scratches on the bathroom door is a reason to celebrate 🤣
How do you find the links on your site
Hi, any relative links would be in the comments of the video.
We have a Sol Horizon. We just purchased it so we haven't slept in it yet. We may try this topper on ours we've heard the factory mattress isn't too good...Our daughter will sleep on the front dining area so maybe a twin would work up there...
The family loves the extra foam pad!! In our Sol Dawn, sleeping direct on the dinette cushions is survivable, but not all that comfortable. It's good to have the extra pad for extending stays, for which we will usually leave the dinette set up as a bed with the pad. Thanks for watching!!!
I love your big basket that holds a folding table. Link and/or info please!
For the camp table hanging on the wall in the bathroom, we simply hung the crossbar from the table on the suction cup hook mounts: amzn.to/42xLm7u
Love the footage! Man I really need to get out more often…
Thanks!! If I could, I’d camp every weekend. We don’t feel like we get out enough either 😭😁
Hi - we have the same model trailer as yours, and are two of your 🇨🇦 subscribers! At this time of year, would you be doing a winterization video? It’s getting pretty cold at night now! Thanks for your videos!
@@douglasmeneilley7321 Hello Canada!!! 🍁Thanks for tuning in 👍🏽. We've had our Sol Dawn Rover for a year now since last September. We are in Virginia, so it doesn't get much below freezing around here. Last year we chose not to winterize. We just drained the water and blew out the interior lines of the camper. When it got really cold outside, we would run a space heater inside the unit. Predictions are for a colder winter this year, so we might choose to winterize and run the antifreeze through the lines. If we do, we will surely document the process. Sometimes, we refer to our own videos to remind us on how we did some things 🤣 The process is pretty simple. You just have to make sure the lines to the water heater are closed. Then you use the pump to fill the water lines with an antifreeze solution.There is a guide for the water system on the Intech Support website. I have printed a copy of that and keep it in the area where all my water lines are so I can reference it for maintenance. Love our Dawn and hope you do too!!!
