FREEDOM
Limitation is not a word in the Winnebago Solis's dictionary. Its nimble size and self-sufficient systems mean fewer restrictions to RV parks. Instead, it provides the confidence to camp anywhere, like a sunlit patch of desert or a secluded trailhead surrounded by pine trees.
Compact, Capable, & Ready for Every Season
At around 19 feet long, the Winnebago Solis is refreshingly manageable. Lean into your spontaneous side by packing your van, hopping in the driver's seat, and going —no hours of prep work or visits to a storage lot needed with the Winnebago Solis.
Once on the open road, the Solis handles much like your everyday vehicle. It's easy to merge onto highways, weave along winding national park entrances, and slip into a grocery store parking spot when you need to restock.
The Solis is equally friendly when you arrive at camp. Whether you've scoped out a gravel turnout with a million-dollar view or followed a scarcely marked dirt road into a forest, the Winnebago Solis is ready to make basecamp anywhere without wrestling with a trailer and multi-point maneuvers. Simply park, pop the top, and start living.
The Freedom to Camp Anywhere
Gone are the days of finding an RV resort and making a reservation. With the Winnebago Solis, you can prioritize boondocking, allowing you to camp nearly anywhere without sacrificing amenities. Some of the off-the-grid features included with the Solis are:
- 220W solar panel
- 20-gallon freshwater tank
- 20-gallon gray water tank
Built on a rugged Ram ProMaster® chassis, the Winnebago Solis pairs maneuverability with the reliability you want when your path forward might be a dusty dirt road or a narrow mountain pass. With the Solis, you can find the best campsites by following your sense of adventure.
COMFORT
Living a minimalist life doesn't mean sacrificing inviting features. The Winnebago Solis packs clever amenities that make life on the road feel easy and restorative, whether it's an overnight stay or a week-long adventure. Every feature of the Solis is designed to make you feel rested, fed, and ready for the next day's adventure.
Your New Home Base
When the day winds down, the Winnebago Solis greets you with residential-inspired amenities, like a capable galley kitchen. The 2-burner range lets you boil water for spaghetti as the stainless steel sink washes the fresh-picked vegetables from a roadside produce stand. A compact fridge keeps cheese and juice boxes cool, while a pull-out counter extension gives you room to chop, prep, and plate meals.
The bathroom may be compact, but it’s complete with everyday essentials like:
- Shower with a flexible shower head
- Cassette toilet
- Removable clothes rod
The built-in wet bath means no midnight flashlight walks to a nearby restroom. It also makes it easy to rinse off sweat or lake water after a rigorous hike or a day spent skipping rocks, allowing you to feel fresh in bed.
Smart Space for Year-Round Use
The Winnebago Solis features a thoughtful layout that optimizes every cubic foot of the van’s interior. It starts by choosing one of two floor plans. Regardless of your plan, the Solis prioritizes open space to make the compact space feel open and expansive.
The rear features a Murphy bed or an available sofa bed. The tuck-away design of each bed creates a play space during the day and cozy sleeping quarters for two at night. A pop-top roof tent adds a second sleeping area that doubles as a treehouse-like hideout for your child.
Climate control comes courtesy of Winnebago’s Truma Combi® Eco system. Coupled with floor-to-ceiling insulation and air-tight zipped window coverings, the Solis ensures you’re comfortable whether camping under the July sun or in the quiet chill of October in the mountains.
CONNECTION
The Winnebago Solis isn’t designed to merely take you places. It’s built to bring you closer to what matters. From unplugging to swapping stories around the fire, the Solis makes it easy to live more in the open air and less behind a screen.
Living the Slow, Intentional Life
The layout of the Winnebago Solis may be minimalist, but there’s no shortage of storage solutions. Storage compartments are built into the floor in the lounge area, perfect for storing hiking boots and wiffle ball bats.
When your adventure includes outdoor playtime, the optional L-track storage space gives you a secure, customizable way to store bikes, paddleboards, kayak gear, and more. They're built to keep everything stable while you're on the move so that you can confidently hit bumpy trails and winding roads. Once you arrive, everything is right where you need it and ready to launch for your first activity.
With the Solis, you can bring everything you need for an active, outdoorsy weekend without filling every nook with “just-in-case” items. That balance keeps your days focused on experiences, not stuff.
Outdoors Is Where the Magic Happens
The Winnebago Solis's design is engineered to maximize your time outside. Dual entry doors in the back provide endless fresh airflow through the cabin, carrying the scent of pine or sea breeze. If you have a crossword puzzle or card game to finish, an optional removable table can be positioned at the base of the rear doors, immersing you in nature while providing a flat surface to complete your activity.
If you’re inside cooking while your partner is tending to the campfire outside, the rear doors let you stay connected. The Solis also features a rear annex. This configurable rear space can be used for:
- Changing room: Perfect for changing into swimsuits without tracking sand or dirt into the main living area.
- Gear-drying zone: A clothing rod can hold wetsuits, jackets, or towels to drip-dry in a contained space.
- Extra storage cover: Protects unpacked bikes and camping gear from the elements.
The Solis encourages you to make the most of your time outdoors by providing space for all your gear and thoughtful touches that keep you connected to the real world.
Winnebago Solis vs. The Competition
Class B camping vans like the Winnebago Solis and the Airstream Interstate 19 make it easy to get up and go. Requiring little to no prep time, these models encourage last-minute adventures. However, the Solis may be the preferred pick among families with twice as much sleeping space and burners.

Looking to make the most out of your camping weekend? The Winnebago Solis and the Pleasure-Way Ontour 2.0 include must-have amenities that allow skipping RV resorts and finding your own camp. Yet, campers may spend all their time inside the Ontour 2.0 with the standard entertainment features, unlike the Solis, which encourages unplugged time with friends and family you crave.
