    System upgrade?

    Forgive me if this has already been covered, I have searched but found nothing. I have a 2020 solitude. I am wondering if anyone knows if the upgrade is available for the leveling system and slides where I can control with a remote or by app on my phone. I know the momentum has something like that. I like the availability to walk outside while controlling the slides or leveling.
    Thank you.

    I looked into this myself and have decided it is not possible. Well.... not impossible; but it might require a whole new set of controls - the one on the main panel and also the sensors on the underside of the unit (the ones in the enclosed underbelly. At least that was takeaway. So I have given up on the idea. And besides, do I really want to have to open an app when I'm already right there at the controls??

    Here is some info on eTrailer's web site.....

    And here's more info on Lippert's site:

    I think retrofitting would be pretty involved. On Solitudes and Momentums, the leveling is controlled from outside, anyway. One needs to watch inside while pulling the slides in and check shifting obstructions inside after partially extending them before putting them the rest of the way out. To me, One Control is just more bells and whistles to fail.

    I agree with you Rob… The OneControl in concept is neat, but it sure is a lot more to fail. Additionally the way the factory wireless comes from GD is “HORRIBLE” and is a primary way to use the OneControl unless you want to use the wall mounted tablet. After yanking out the factory wireless and configuring it properly, the OneControl is much more useful since I can get to it via WIFI or the WAN and control the RV which is ideal in inclimate weather.

    Retrofitting a Solitude would be a lot of work and as stated the control modules would all need to be changed out = expensive.

    Just my opinion(s).
