RV MRSP is always a joke and these regularly sell for about 65% of MSRP. Still too expensive, but then again, have you seen what a new Chevy Suburban goes for lately? Doesn't seem as excessive when it's put into perspective.
Great video, I was ready to go out and get one but when I checked the price the Solis now starts at $128,000 that is over 33% higher than the video. I will keep looking, I can buy a new Transit for $55,000 with the Adventure Pkg and other options I like. I am sure I can get it outfittered for under $73,000.
You gotta understand the Recreational Vehicle scam... They always list for 30-50% above what the actual price is. Just go to any RV show; they've always got two stickers, one above the other. The "MSRP" at extortion levels, and then the "sale price". You can probably buy this van for 85-90k at any dealership in the States so long as they have them in stock and don't have a line of customers waiting.
23 year retired Army veteran here. Love the video and just bought a Solis Pocket today, but it’s pronounced “MOLLY” not “MOLE”, and is spelled MOLLE. It is a military acronym that stands for Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment.
Ok all naysayers you are missing the point of this RV design. This is an RV made for travelers to get to their main destination who occasionally may want to dry camp over a weekend. For that I applaud Winnebago. Sure, I would love to see an inverter with an under hood Generator system with volt Start but at this price point I can’t complain. I would much rather have this with its 4 season season design over the Thor Scope or Rize. Sure they have a generator but do you see how it is mounted underneath? First speed bump and you will be minus a generator. My Wife and I are Travelers and have added the Solis pocket to our list to consider in the near future. Hope a few show up at the 2022 Tampa Show.
@@EmRilee Then it may not be right for you. However it can be had for $74K and Amazon sells an instant hot propane fired RV hot water heater that can be hooked up for $300. Haven’t seen a Van build that is this nice and flexible starting with a new vehicle and warranty for this price. $100K is MSRP. Dealers will always drop by 25% or more.
@@debbiewinter5391 well said. We just bought one today and will use the Camplux water heater to take hot showers outside the back doors using the water outlet and the propane tank access. I’m not a huge fan of the porta potty but I also didn’t want a wet bath taking up room in the coach. So for us it just made sense.
Everyone keeps talking about the Revel but I honestly think this fits me and my budget a lot more. I don't have kids or anything and it'll only be used one month out of the year for like two road trips lol
Winnebago should make two models of Solis Pocket, this will be the basic strip model and the other one is the upgraded model with all the that are missing components. The short and compact design of Solis is perfect choice for couple or solo adventure if it is dry camp ready.
I'd settle for Winnebago making them BETTER! Stop the poor "workmanship," (fit & finish), using staples & cheap materials. No excuse for that at these prices. -- BR

I bought the Solis Pocket 🚐 traveled four months last winter, love the van/camper. No hot water 🤷♀️no problem, I use the teakettle to heat water. SolisGo on an adventure
I’d like to see one actually disassemble the Lagun table to convert to the small bed. Do you need remove the table leg to convert to the bed? Where do you store it? Also what do you do with the board behind the driver seat? The seat swivels but there is no place for one’s legs if the board remains. Is it meant to convert to a table?
If I wanted to use this mostly "off grid"...would it be possible to get the Solis pocket without the rooftop AC unit? That would also free up space for additional solar or alternatively, a second fan for more airflow and ventilation.
It's not possible at the moment to order the Solis Pocket without the roof-mounted AC. It sounds like you would benefit from checking out the Adventure Wagon. Here's a link to our video on it!: ua-cam.com/video/l5PHKEsaLdc/v-deo.html
We need one built for solo van lifers. Too many try to cram too many beds inside. Get rid of the dinette. AC required shore power is a deal breaker also. Should include zero breeze AC. RV manufacturers are stuck with component dealers way behind in tech related to full time van life. That's one reason many still choose to build their own. 12 volt chest fridges are much better than stand up micro fridges with useless freezers. No hot water. No microwave. No lithium PO4 batteries. $100k is just laughable for this terrible design.
You are absolutely right. This is a bad joke. Check out the European vans, they are so far advanced it’s amazing. Refrigerator doors open both ways, controls are behind a cabinet door, away from little fingers, and back windows open. No hot water? Built cheep, built for the uninformed.
I am often astonished when comparing the prices between the US and the European manufacturers. Why are motorhomes in the US /Canada such expensive? In Europe for 100 k dollars you get a completely equipped van with bathroom, shower, cassette toilet, satellite dish and tv, big 140/150 liters fridge, aluminum wheels and so on...
Can be purchased for must less than MSRP. Also, the dinette is perfect as it's multi-purpose: a lounge for one with or without the table. Or a loveseat for 2, or a bed for a child.
Just viewed THIS walk through, probably have seen dozens of others that fail to mention 30 amp a/c. I've seriously considered this vehicle until now. Off grid a/c is a must for Texas coast & s. central TX in summer.
One quick change occurs to me. Those 2 latching storage cubbies behind the sofa cushions are a bit inconvenient when you're sitting there. How about making them sliding doors?
This van has no inverter so you would have to have a portable power station like a Jackery 1000 and a cheap microwave under 1,000 watts. Or a bigger power station for a full size microwave.
Do you have the measurement from the front console to the back door? Need to see if this could be used to carry long skinny items. Van could be used as a daily driver/work truck as well. A long ladder for work, or kayaks (cushioned to protect the cabinets etc.)
I can finally finish this video. I was watching this when I received a call from my RV Dealer that my Storyteller is ready for delivery. So, I dropped everything and drove an hour and half to pick Vinnie Van Go. No indoor shower?
Can you choose to not have the roof air conditioner to add more solar panels? OR are there enough solar to power everything already? I'm interested in all season boondocking.
Unfortunately an A/C delete is not an option. This has enough solar to run everything except for the air conditioner. There is also additional ports if you wanted to add more solar panels.
First there was a Solis with no AC and now no HW. Not to mention the short bed which I could live with. But Sorry. No sale. I really wanted this. But a hot shower after fishing all day is a must have.
Thank you for the very best video I have seen describing all the features of the Solis Pocket. Please can you confirm the warranties Winnebago provides? I understood from your video the Pocket comes with 5 yrs/100,000 miles power train chassis. Am I correct? Is there any input warranty? If so, how long/miles? Would you please explain what warrenty/s covers? Is there a spare tire carrier available that can be purchase from Colonial RV? Could you suggest a portable generator that would have the capability to running AC for 3 to four hours to keep pets comfortable while we go on a hike? Is there a generator that could be run from inside the RV vs running outside? Is an inventor feature a good idea to have? Any other add on that you may suggest Thanking you in advance for taking the time to answer my questions.
1. Winnebago offers a 1yr/15,000 mile warranty on the motorhome and Ram offers a 5yr/100,000 mile warranty on their power train. 2. The Ram chassis does not offer a spare tire. However there are options available to you for adding a spare tire to the rear hitch. Also, Ram offers a great kit to help repair a leak with silicone and an electric pump to help you get to a nearby dealer for repairs. 3. If you wanted to run the roof A/C you can consider any portable generator ( such as a Honda 2000,etc.) This would be an exterior use only generator and we are not familiar with any generators that can be run from the inside( sorry). If you are looking for a Solis with a generator maybe you can consider the Solis 59P model 4. The Solis pocket does not come with an inverter supplied by Winnebago. However, we have a full service dept. that can assist with adding one if you choose. Thank you very much for your time, any further questions please let us know. - Bobby and the Winnebago sales department
Under 100k no shower tho , I’ve seen used custom go for well under 100k with heated water and a shower , even a back up gravity system , heated by the sun would go a very long way
Former 2018 revel owner. Waiting for storyteller. Overall nice design but hot water and AGM is a deal breaker. Driver side seat can’t swivel. Day bed looks god awfully uncomfortable. If these were correct consider the purchase.
I've owned a roadtrek campervan for 15 years. Main thing to me is microwave, run the AC without the engine, spare tire cuz I've had a blowout before. Also hang shirts. This has none of the these for 95k. No good
We like the propane tank removable , and no pop top roof bed, but do not like no bathroom , if this one do have a bathroom , I will consider buy this one
The 59P and 59PX models are available without the pop-top and they have a bathroom. You can see them in this video: ua-cam.com/video/AIWntOAutxc/v-deo.html
Lots of money for not much. No hot water. No micro. Can you refill the propane take without taking out? If you wanted to purchase a solar lithium power pack(Patriot, Jackery, etc) could it be charged through connection to rooftop solar?
yeah, it's a shame because there are some neat features that are overshadowed by the sheer lack of basic amenities of the sort one would expect from a proper camper van.
We just bought one of these and grabbed a camplux water heater off amazing to have hot showers right outside the back doors for $159. It uses the rear water outlet and the propane tank (both accessible from the rear) to operate. Check out a video on it. It solved the hot water and no shower issue instantly.
Thanks for watching! RVs are built on commercial/work chassis. The Exhaust pipe is not placed on the passenger side because the sliding door entry is there. They don’t put it out the back because the rear doors open and if someone is working and getting tools, or camping, they would be breathing in the fumes.
Great job on the video. Had to subscribe. Now, about the camper. I'm a single camper and l want the kind of rig that's designed for ONE person - that's compact - but still has an upscale feel. This doesn't have hot water and the bathroom is a bowl in a box. Yikes. That's the lifestyle of a long haul trucker.
Thank you for subscribing! We genuinely appreciate your support. If you're in need of a bathroom and hot water, I highly recommend considering the Winnebago Solis 59P. It's slightly bigger in size but comes equipped with all the amenities you require.
What a great presentation! Murphy bed great. I think best for one person. And a fav dog.. no shower: and no TV, cable… soooo, I go to motel and take showers?
The dimensions are as follows, Width: (left cabinet to right cabinet base): 34” Length: (back doors to front): 52” Height: (floor to base of bed frame: 37”
@@ColonialRV I’d rather buy the same van and go to Wayfarer. You can get just about everything for less money. And I can build my own solar and battery system. At least this looks better than most.
@@ColonialRV I remember when the Travato was $89K. Was supposed to be simple like the Solis Pocket - but it had hot water and a bathroom. I don't want an RV with a name that's called soul-less. Sorry. Nice review though!! Thank you!
Hey Eladio! No problem, would you mind please reaching out to sales@colonialrv.com or giving us a call at 800-265-9019. We would be more than happy to help you!
The Murphy Bed measures 52" x 75" and the dinette measures 25" x 61" when converted into a bed. The roof access port can be used to add additional components such as a signal booster antenna.
This seems a little ridiculous. Winnebago really dropped the ball on this one. Poor design. 1) No hot water 2) No generator 3) No shower 4) Propane heat, yesterday's technology, as opposed to a dry heat Webasto heat system. 5) AGM battery system?? Again yesterday's technology. Highly inefficient as opposed to a lite weight, quick charging lithium battery system. 6) No microwave. 7) Day bed is much too short. It should be a minimum of 6 ft. It also doesn't look too comfortable. I could build a better out a much better camper with hot water, dry heat, and quick charging lithium for half the price. This is a design failure by Winnebago. They need to get a new designer. What's with the doggie gate? This design is short on comfort and long on cheap.
The Solis Pocket is designed as a low priced camper van. If you want the features such as lithium, hot water, and microwave, the Winnebago Travato is a better option.
A brand new Promaster 1500 high roof van is ~$40k, alone! For someone without the means to DIY build, this should go for $75-80k, and is a pretty good starting point.
This meets all our needs. More space for storage is just what we've been waiting for. For our purposes a microwave, hot water, shower. generator, etc, are excessive. If those were needed we'd have bought something else. Love this unit.
Can you count the number of times he says “uh” or “um” or whatever he’s saying? Lol loved the video but I made a game out of it while I watched. Forgot my count….
There are folks that don't need the bathroom. Whether it's short-term traveling or other reasons. But for those who do, check out the regular Solis or any other of our class B van videos.
See our in-stock Winnebago Solis Pocket models here: www.colonialrv.com/winnebago-motorhomes-for-sale/
This van is a beauty, but I need to say, if I am paying $100,000 for a converted van, I at least want a spare tire and jack... seriously.
We totally agree✅ it was not easy to install a spare tire!

We like the propane tank removable , and no pop top roof bed, but do not like no bathroom , if this one do have a bathroom , I will consider buy this one
The 59P and 59PX models are available without the pop-top and they have a bathroom. You can see them in this video: ua-cam.com/video/AIWntOAutxc/v-deo.html
This guy is very professional 👍👌
We try! Thank you for watching!
Do the driver and passenger seats swivel all the way around or just a little as shown right at the end of this video?
Yes they rotate 180 degrees.
Lots of money for not much. No hot water. No micro. Can you refill the propane take without taking out?
If you wanted to purchase a solar lithium power pack(Patriot, Jackery, etc) could it be charged through connection to rooftop solar?
Warrantee?
Very nice. Do the front seats swivel around?
Yes, both the driver and passenger seats swivel 180 degrees.
Alway a great presentation by Bobby
Thank you!
I plan to charge e bike everyday .
Can the battery have that capability?
No hot water, no shower, no toilet, $100,000, NO THANK YOU. I would rather buy an SUV and spend the money on hotels.
Omg it's so old fashioned they need to check out the euro campa Van's..
No hot water is such a big fail. Stopped watching right when he said that.
yeah, it's a shame because there are some neat features that are overshadowed by the sheer lack of basic amenities of the sort one would expect from a proper camper van.
We just bought one of these and grabbed a camplux water heater off amazing to have hot showers right outside the back doors for $159. It uses the rear water outlet and the propane tank (both accessible from the rear) to operate. Check out a video on it. It solved the hot water and no shower issue instantly.
It’s such an easy problem to fix, it’s not worth bitching about.
Hey you Grinch!!!🤐👶🤨
Looks great, super design but two things don't click. No spare tire and why on earth is the exhaust pipe sticking out the side like that?
Thanks for watching! RVs are built on commercial/work chassis. The Exhaust pipe is not placed on the passenger side because the sliding door entry is there. They don’t put it out the back because the rear doors open and if someone is working and getting tools, or camping, they would be breathing in the fumes.
How long would it take to get one
We currently have a few in stock. They can be seen here: www.colonialrv.com/winnebago-motorhomes-for-sale/?type=list&filter-by=new&sort-by=&status=
What's the length on the day bed?
The lounge daybed measures 25" x 61"
Great job on the video. Had to subscribe. Now, about the camper. I'm a single camper and l want the kind of rig that's designed for ONE person - that's compact - but still has an upscale feel. This doesn't have hot water and the bathroom is a bowl in a box. Yikes. That's the lifestyle of a long haul trucker.
Thank you for subscribing! We genuinely appreciate your support. If you're in need of a bathroom and hot water, I highly recommend considering the Winnebago Solis 59P. It's slightly bigger in size but comes equipped with all the amenities you require.
Oh, ok. Thanks for the response
Does it have apple play or a navigation system? You didn’t mention speakers either. Nice tour.
Great presentation!
Thank you for watching!
I like this.
I have some large thermoses
for hot body washes.
The “frigerator?” Lol
Pretty van
2 or 4 wheel drive?
2WD
What a great presentation! Murphy bed great. I think best for one person. And a fav dog.. no shower: and no TV, cable… soooo, I go to motel and take showers?
Thank you for watching!
Love this
Can you get it without air conditioning?
Unfortunately the Pocket is Not available with an Air Conditioner delete option.
Cold water showers???
do you know the dimensions of the gear garage?
The dimensions are as follows, Width: (left cabinet to right cabinet base): 34” Length: (back doors to front): 52” Height: (floor to base of bed frame: 37”
Seen these for $82k. Is there an option to delete the bath?
New drinking game, drink when he says “before”.
Price?
MSRP is $99,566
Nice sized sink… 👍
100000 ! i want an inside flush commode and shower!
Anything is possible!
Wish they would offer this without that big AC unit on the roof.
Hello, How much do these go for?
Starting MSRP is $99,566.00

I’d rather buy the same van and go to Wayfarer. You can get just about everything for less money. And I can build my own solar and battery system.
At least this looks better than most.
@@ColonialRV I remember when the Travato was $89K. Was supposed to be simple like the Solis Pocket - but it had hot water and a bathroom. I don't want an RV with a name that's called soul-less. Sorry. Nice review though!! Thank you!
Beautiful, but an awning and spare tire would be convenient.
I really love this van I’m looking for one just like this one can you send me an estimate price for this on or a similar thanks for your help
Hey Eladio! No problem, would you mind please reaching out to sales@colonialrv.com or giving us a call at 800-265-9019. We would be more than happy to help you!
I like it very nice
Incredible.
Where Is The Bath Room ?
This unit has a portable toilet hidden under the dining area. You can see it at 24-minute mark.
Cool!
They get more options for free - i.e. pull out counter extension
no hot water? and cheep cheep cheep still 100, grand no thanks
What are the dimensions of the bed? What is the use of the inside roof access port? Dimensions of dinette.
The Murphy Bed measures 52" x 75" and the dinette measures 25" x 61" when converted into a bed. The roof access port can be used to add additional components such as a signal booster antenna.
Nice
Thank you for watching!
Like the Thor Rize 18 M better, with rear bathroom.
Does it have adaptive cruise control?
The Ram Promaster chassis has cruise control but is not adaptive.
I love it, but am i the only one baffled by the exhaust pipe sticking out on the driver side??
This seems a little ridiculous. Winnebago really dropped the ball on this one. Poor design.
1) No hot water
2) No generator
3) No shower
4) Propane heat, yesterday's technology, as opposed to a dry heat Webasto heat system.
5) AGM battery system?? Again yesterday's technology. Highly inefficient as opposed to a lite weight, quick charging lithium battery system.
6) No microwave.
7) Day bed is much too short. It should be a minimum of 6 ft. It also doesn't look too comfortable.
I could build a better out a much better camper with hot water, dry heat, and quick charging lithium for half the price. This is a design failure by Winnebago. They need to get a new designer. What's with the doggie gate? This design is short on comfort and long on cheap.
The Solis Pocket is designed as a low priced camper van. If you want the features such as lithium, hot water, and microwave, the Winnebago Travato is a better option.
A brand new Promaster 1500 high roof van is ~$40k, alone! For someone without the means to DIY build, this should go for $75-80k, and is a pretty good starting point.
This meets all our needs. More space for storage is just what we've been waiting for. For our purposes a microwave, hot water, shower. generator, etc, are excessive. If those were needed we'd have bought something else. Love this unit.
Hey, I like the doggie gate!
Can you count the number of times he says “uh” or “um” or whatever he’s saying? Lol loved the video but I made a game out of it while I watched. Forgot my count….
He is very good. I'd like to see you try a video like this!
It is nice but I feel that with a raise bed and so much wasted space at bottom, they should of done more storage.
No toilet? What’s the point of buying a class B camper van without a toilet?
There are folks that don't need the bathroom. Whether it's short-term traveling or other reasons. But for those who do, check out the regular Solis or any other of our class B van videos.
The Ram Rize is 100% better in terms of layout and functionality. Anything that has a porta potty or toilet by the kitchen is an auto no go.
Winnebago says the Solis Pocket will start at $95,736 with Gas Prices soaring not sure if 90 plus K is affordable.
