There is a new Winnebago on the way which is small, easy to maneuver and still full of features. Called the Solis Pocket, it uses the Ram ProMaster as the base for an all-season motorhome with a full kitchen, two sleeping areas, and a surprising amount of space. It’s also the most affordable new Winnebago of all, although in this case that still means a starting price of $ 95,736.
According to Winnebago, the inspiration for the Solis Pocket came from the do-it-yourself camper movement. These home-made machines typically combine a plethora of conveniences in one smart package while still retaining ample space for bikes, hiking gear, or other items popular with outdoor adventurers. To this end, Winnebago designed the Solis Pocket with a flexible interior that can accommodate three people while still maintaining a decent amount of storage space. The front table can convert to a sofa or a small bed, while a larger pull-out bed for two people extends across the back of the van.

The galley holds the station on the passenger side, featuring a stainless steel sink and refrigerator with a two-burner stove and plenty of counter space. On the driver’s side, the table area transforms into more storage space that doubles as a mounting point for the Murphy bed, which expands and sits atop the counter for sleeping. A door at the foot of the bed creates an enclosed storage area below, and the door can also be deployed when the bed is stored to help secure items between the kitchen counter and driver side storage. A cassette toilet is stored under the table and the two front seats swivel rearward.
The Solis Pocket includes a pair of 20 gallon tanks for soft and gray water, and it carries a refillable / replaceable 20 pound LP tank. Power comes from two Group 21 deep cycle batteries, and for off-grid life the roof has 170 watts of solar power.
Winnebago says the Solis Pocket is expected to arrive in fall 2021.
