RV Review: 2022 Winnebago Solis

If you have been searching for an easy-to-maneuver RV with sensible unique features, the 2022 Winnebego Solis has you covered. The 2022 Solis is perfect for the nomadic spirit and is designed with convenience and adventure in mind. This Class B RV is offered in three unique floorplans, outshining others in its class through one-of-a-kind features that accommodate your needs, both on and off the road. 

This campervan comes from one of the most trusted names in the recreational vehicle industry—Winnebago. Winnebago has been creating RVs like the Solis since they were founded in 1958, but what really sets Winnebago RVs apart is the process. Winnebago follows a detailed production process, with a focus on high-quality craftsmanship and smart designs that make every customer proud to drive a vehicle with their signature “W” logo. The 2022 Winnebago Solis is no exception.

Always In Control

The Winnebago Solis is a modern campervan built with exceptional features that ensure you will arrive at your destination safely. A fully equipped backup camera and a digital rearview mirror afford you a clear, broad view of what is behind you at all times. If you are concerned about maneuvering a slightly larger vehicle, this is the RV for you. The 2022 Winnebago Solis drives like a standard car with exceptional handling. It is even equipped with crosswind control, ensuring you stay in your lane despite even the most common natural hazards. 

The Winnebago Solis is unparalleled in drivability. Built on the Ram ProMater platform, the wheelbase is only 136 inches, allowing effortless maneuverability and maximum control. Do you need to pick up supplies or run errands? The Solis makes a quick trip into town a breeze. This campervan is between 18 and 21 feet, fits in most standard parking spaces, and easily maneuvers tight turns and smaller roadways.   

Maintaining your vehicle is easy. The Solis never requires you to climb under the unit to access plumbing or LP equipment like other models in its’ class. You will have above-the-floor access to all critical components. Winnebago even makes it simple to understand when to refill your freshwater with a backlit freshwater sight glass.

#VanLife Does Not Mean Sacrifice

Today, many of us work from home. Whether you are taking a break from the daily grind or striving to conquer your 9 to 5 from unique remote locations, the Winnebago Solis is capable of supporting your technological needs. Winnebago thought of it all with this Class B RV beauty, strategically placing numerous USB ports, outlets, LED Lights, and workspace options. 

If you are hoping to work outside on a nice day, there is an outdoor desk that easily folds down, creating the perfect outdoor office or prep space. If you are worried about insects, you can easily roll down the entryway screen with a magnetic break-away feature and still enjoy the outdoor air from inside the cabin. 

Are you worried about having interior options and optimally using space? The primary sitting area in the Winnebago Solis allows for easy conversion into a workstation or dining area, loveseat, couch, lounge, and even a full bed. The removable pedestal table is portable and is simple to install in multiple locations throughout the vehicle. This is truly a modern campervan that can do it all and sustain long-term travel when you are on and off the clock. 

One of the most significant modern concerns with working from the road is a reliable, stable internet connection. Many travelers choose to elect unlimited data through their cell provider and utilize a personal hotspot through their phone. Suppose you are looking for a more permanent solution with more reliable coverage and don’t want to use your phone data to tether to a hotspot. In that case, the Skyroam Solis and Solis X are excellent alternatives. Of course, several campgrounds and public facilities offer reliable public wifi too. Finding a solid connection on the road has never been easier.  

Reviewing the Solis Submodels: Beyond The Basics

The 2022 model features three floorplans:

• Winnebago Solis Pocket 36-A
• Winnebago Solis 59P 
• Winnebago Solis 59PX

All three floorplans are on a V6, 280HP engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission, a 180amp alternator, and solar panels on the top of the vehicle. They also all have a 20 gallon fresh and grey tank. Although none of the models have a black tank, the Pocket 36-A comes equipped with a portable restroom, and the 59P and 59PX have a cassette toilet and a full hot shower. The Pocket 36-A has only cold water available, but the 59P and 59PX are on an Eco Hot system, offering immediate hot water. You will never have to waste your water supply waiting for the warm water to kick in. Finally, a pop-up privacy curtain for outdoor showering or changing is one of the most remarkable and original features that all three floorplans offer.

Other notable features include:

• side and rear screening
• porch light
• outdoor pet latch (on step)
• reading lights
• LED interior lighting
• digital system monitoring panels
• Bluetooth digital radio
• blackout curtains
• tinted windows
• durable/heavy-duty vinyl flooring for easy and quick cleanup. 
• ample counter space 
• two-burner cooktop 
• compact single-door refrigerator
• stainless steel sink.

The Winnebago Solis Pocket 36-A comes standard with a roof-mounted Coleman Mach 10 air conditioner, the ducted Trauma VarioHeat system, and a 20gal propane tank secured in sealed and vented storage. The 59P and 59PX have a standard propane fill and offer an additional pop-up sleeping area instead of the standard roof-mounted A/C. All floorplans have a ceiling-mounted Co2 and smoke detector and are notably best in their class for insulation.

Winnebago Solis Storage, Space, and Size

Small campervans are great on the road, but what about compromised space? Winnebago provides abundant storage options across all three floorplans, and d-rings are placed throughout the cabin so that oversized items to be easily secured. The overhead storage compartments have a magnetic feature that holds them in the open position to ensure the safe navigation of stored items when on the move. The cabinets and drawers lock for secure storage, and a magnetic gated divider is standard to help prevent your stored items and pets from entering the main cabin when you are on the road. 

The chassis is the most significant difference between all three floorplans with each ranging from 18 to 21 feet long. With the additional space in the 59PX, you will find a rear gear storage area unique to this model. You would be surprised by the storage capacity and practical use of space within this campervan. 

Each of the three submodels offers a six-foot-three-inch ceiling and has multiple sleeping areas. The height of the murphy bed in the 2022 Winnebago Solis allows for maximized storage space beneath the bed. You can even turn this area into a gated, designated place for your four-legged adventure companion. When the murphy bed is not in use, it folds and attaches to the wall opening up enough space to store two full-sized bikes easily.
