Solitude electronics
Please confirm whether the Solitude has some form of In-command, or other named central system of controlling all the electronics through a BCM. I personally don't prefer such systems and would rather have individual switches for individual lights, etc. I see the touch pad control as problematic as time goes by. Thanks

I think you need to qualify the question by year of manufacture. This varies/changes through out the year as features are added or taken away. Especially with the current parts shortages in the RV industry. I assume you are inquiring about current build, 2021 model year trailers.

Yes 20 or 21 whichever is the current year for trailers being built and ordered. The web site makes no mention of it and a comment I saw on this forum of someone wishing they did have it is why I ask. I hope if GD decides to use something like that it's AFTER I get mine.

I think he may be referring to the Lippert One Control

No I'm referring to what I have in my Raptor "Incommand" which is a touch pad that has most of the electronic functions cycled through a BCM, Body Control Module. All the HVAC, awnings, vents, slides, generator, etc. A few lights are on individual switches but most are on the touch pad. I just see this as problematic down the road, as in when the warranty is gone, and would rather flip a switch than push a pad. Some people love the feature, but it's relatively new in RVs and when they stop "connecting and commanding" you are basically screwed. Can't run the awnings, slides, operate water pump without going to the BCM and bypassing a circuit. Be happy with individual switches. When it works its great BUT!!! You can download an app and operate the items with your phone. So far I've been unsuccessful keeping the app operational though. I have an Apple I-10 so not trying to do this with a flip phone.
To Grammy&Grandad thanks for the confirmation.2020 Ram Laramie 3500 DRW

That I don't know...I hope you get what you want. At one time in liked the idea of that type of control, now I feel the same as you, give me an old fashioned switch.

Glad they did NOT include that in the 2019 Reflections. I too prefer the individual switches. Easier to troubleshoot and fix.
