As the top Winnebago dealer in the country, focusing solely on Winnebago motorhomes, we receive a number of questions regarding Winnebago motorhomes. A common question we receive is “What is the difference between the Winnebago Solis and the Winnebago Solis Pocket?”
While the Solis and Solis Pocket look very similar, there are quite a few significant differences. We will review the key differences in the Winnebago Solis and Solis Pocket camper vans floor plans below focusing on the chassis, exterior, floorplans, bath, the electrical, heating and cooling in each. The Solis 59P and 59PX are similar, while the Solis Pocket 36A and 36B provide a number of differences.
Chassis
All four of these floor plans are built on the dependable RAM ProMaster chassis, now equipped with numerous safety enhancements including crosswind assist, adaptive cruise control, 360 degree surround view camera system and more. This chassis also includes a radio and rearview monitor system with touchscreen, navigation and more while the cab seats are capable of slide, swivel, and reclining.
Exterior
SOLIS 59P | SOLIS 59PX: The first thing you may notice on the outside of the Winnebago Solis 59P and 59PX is the pop-top loft sleeping area with the FROLI sleep system. You do have the option of removing this feature. The 59P and 59PX include a large side sliding door and dual rear entry doors. Each of these doors are equipped with screen doors to let in the airflow but not the insects. The 59P and 59PX also feature a rear annex which includes a rod and privacy screen. In the rear of the 59PX you will also find a gear space with L-Track Cargo Tie Down System.
SOLIS POCKET 36A | SOLIS POCKET 36B: Both Solis Pocket floor plans include a large side sliding door and dual rear entry doors. Each of these doors are equipped with screen doors to let in the airflow but not the insects. Also, enjoy the outdoors while sitting at the exterior fold-down table found on the Solis Pocket. Both floor plans also provide a rod and privacy screen for the rear annex.
Floor Plans
SOLIS 59P | SOLIS 59PX: The Solis 59P and 59PX floorplans sleep up to 4 people with the pop-top loft sleeping area. Once you step inside the 59P or 59PX you will first see the dinette with the removable pedestal table and seating for (2) and 3-point safety belts. The cab seats in the Solis 59P and 59PX can be swiveled to become part of the dining area as well. The Solis has heavy duty vinyl flooring throughout that can be easily cleaned. The 59P and 59PX include zippered window coverings to help keep the outside temperatures at bay.
The galley of the 59P and 59PX includes laminate countertops, a pull-out countertop extension, 2-burner range cooktop, stainless steel sink, spice rack and a 3.0 cu. ft. (12V) single door compressor-driven refrigerator/freezer.
In the rear of the 59P and 59PX you’ll find a 59”x77” Murphy+ Bed that can be raised during daytime hours to make access to the movable table affixed below the bed when stored.

SOLIS POCKET 36A: The Solis Pocket 36A can sleep up to 3 people when the flexible dinette is lowered to the sleeping mode. Once you step inside the Pocket you will first notice the flexible dinette.

This flexible dinette can be adjusted into 5 modes including: Dinette Mode, Settee Loveseat Mode, Daybed Mode with Table, Sofa Mode with Table and Sleeping Mode.

A MOLLE panel retention gate can be closed to separate the front from the back of the coach.
SOLIS POCKET 36B: The most notable difference between the two Solis Pocket floor plans is the full rear wet-bath found in the 36B. This floor plan also unveiled a new partnership with EcoFlow Power Systems which offers an optional, flexible power station that is an all-in-one power hub that optimizes energy performance, saves space, reduces weight, and significantly simplifies user operation.
