New 2024 Winnebago Solis Pocket 36B

Winnebago just dropped a host of upgrades to its most affordable campervan, the Solis Pocket, and the changes are eye-catching. Most notably, the Solis Pocket 36B now sports a wet bath that can double as a mud room — features the Solis Pocket was definitely lacking.

The bathroom area includes a shower fixture, a portable toilet, a sink, a wardrobe area, and internal water tanks. In this writer’s opinion, these modifications alone take the 36B up a notch, making it more useful as a long-term basecamp while maintaining its driveable size.

The new Solis Pocket 36B also offers an upgraded dinette that can reconfigure in nine different ways “to meet a broad range of traveling needs,” according to a company spokesperson.

Options include a two-seater dinette, a four-seater dinette, a day bed, a single or double bed, or L-shaped lounge. While in travel mode, the dinette offers automative-grade seating for two — it has seatbelts and meets crash-testing requirements.

Less sexy but no less important, Winnebago claims the LP tank on the Solis Pocket 36B is more easily reachable than it is in the Solis Pocket. Winnebago says it achieved this through the use of a hinged cradle design tucked away behind the toilet.

Another major upgrade is the optional EcoFlow Power Kit Pro. The system pairs a 5kWh lithium-ion battery with a touchscreen 5-in-1 power management system (inverter, shore power converter, battery energy converter, solar energy converter, and alternator energy optimizer). The optional upgrade — the result of a Winnebago/EcoFlow partnership announced last year — is another way to give remote campsite chops to this vehicle.
