THAT was hands down the best product walk a round I have ever seen Young lady you sold me. I'm going tomorrow to buy one EXCELENT

[@mikeflanigan4896]

By far, the best camper van layout and equipped.

[@SS-Schatzi]

As a Solis Pocket 36A owner and frequent solo traveler, I gotta say that I still prefer the A-floor plan's murphy bed and dinette set up. However, I think this is a great additional floor plan option for folks who are really freaked out about the lack of separate bathroom in the A. I also applaud the addition of an onboard hot-water heater. Most of all - thank you for fixing the propane tank holding mechanism! I wish that could be adjusted or updated on my A, as the seatbelt style strap is not sufficient to keep the tank solidly in place, especially once it's no longer full. Roads are just too bumpy everywhere, and I am not even talking about off-roading. Overall, this new floor plan looks great, and I am sure new customers will have some difficulty choosing between Pocket A&B. Great job listening to customer feedback, Winnebago! 🙌

[@Patrick_Ross]

If the A doesn’t have a toilet, it would be a no-brainer for me to choose the B. I wouldn’t be “freaked out” about not having a toilet but using the bathroom is, after all, one of life’s necessities! Maybe you’ll understand when you get to be a geezer like me!😁

[@Rashnak66]

agree with the other comment- no toilet is no-option for many people. Even this model the toilet seems hard to empty as there is no cassette that can be rolled into a pit toilet. I also don't see how this toilet gets water for a flush.... do you use the showerhead?

[@SS-Schatzi]

​@@Patrick_RossOh but the A does have a toilet - it's a porta potti/ cassette toilet that's stowed under the front dinette seat. It totally does the trick for me, and I am already geezer-ish myself!

[@Patrick_Ross]

@@SS-Schatzi - didn’t know that….thanks! Other comments indicated no toilet.

[@SS-Schatzi]

⁠@@Patrick_RossYeah, that’s why I mentioned no “separate” bathroom in my initial comment, which the A doesn’t have but it does have a toilet, and an outdoor shower in the back (which I have really only used a couple of times to wash my dog off after a beach day). The porta potti in the A is a good useable size without being insanely heavy when the cassette is full. I can basically walk into any public bathroom (in parks, at the beach, etc) and empty it, no splashing, no mess, no looking for an RV dump station - easy peasy. Looks like the toilet in this Pocket 36B is also a cassette type toilet (i.e. no black tank on the van), but a bit larger, so there’s that re extra weight when full. But it should still be ok to handle for most, methinks. Anyway, that’s it from me about all things Pocket potti! 😊

[@jamnee]

Love the changes made to the Solis Pocket including the bathroom area and hot water. Now just bring a microwave and you are set. I also love how the dining area makes into a full size bed.

[@Desperado3248]

Think they might have included a microwave, and generator . Pass

[@TerrellWSmith]

Water hookup inside the back doors? Does that mean the doors must be open if you're connected to water at a site?

[@KimEllison-fe5qo]

This is perfect. The A only has one child seat belt. Which didn’t work for two kids. This is great. They will have forward facing shoulder belts. Plus I love having privacy for the porta potty. Nobody wants to use the toliet in front of the whole family. And love hot water and the Ecoflow. These things are great! Good job Winnebago. Please hurry up and deliver some.

[@c4ristopher]

I'd love this with a poptop as the main sleeping area so I could keep the table area up

[@SychJess]

Yes!!

[@glenchilada]

It's an option

[@TerrySylvester-ip9on]

[@Pammellam]

This is fantastic. Bit it needs locks,on all those outside access ports. But still, this is amazing!

[@khongmylephon3546]

This is perfect ❤ I been waiting for a floor plan like this 🎉

[@marshallallied]

As it is; this van punches well above its weight! However, I would suggest a few changes. 1. Loose a cabinet and add a Microwave. 2. Loose the gas cooktop and add a non-built-in induction cooktop [Winnebago Revel]. It can be stored in a Solis Pack and mounted via molly panel on the wall in the galley. 3. AC outlet on the backsplash at the counter. 4. Undermount sink with an countertop material insert, creating one long countertop when placed over the sink. 4. A TV mount hung under the microwave shelf; since there won't be a cabinet there anymore. 5. Mechanical Awning. 6. One outside outlet on the camp side. For cooking outside with the induction cooktop. 7. Outside Propane quick connector for gas grills. 8. Ecoflow system should have auto-start if it doesn't already. I would call this option package the "Cake And Eat It Too" package. 😁

[@sueeichinger8020]

I agree put invection microwave, and stove, awning, and tv I was think on wall behind dinette where she has pocket for storage.

[@marshallallied]

@@sueeichinger8020 Yes convection microwave. TV in the storage pocket would be good to. Except it could only be viewed from one angle.

[@dwoodygura]

With the features you'd like to have you may want to look at the Winnebago Travato. It's built on the Promaster 3500 chassis.

[@Robbie-mw5uu]

yes I would really love it if it had a microwave/convection oven.

[@DarlaSadler]

This is a nice additional layout. I prefer the A, with the "garage area" in the back. Will the A get updated with hot water like the new B has?

[@joec.4238]

I love this floor plan. The only thing is you can't put the Winnebago logo on the side of the camper if you want to stay low profile.

[@joegizinski3144]

The toilet/ shower section, plus the 20 gal. LP tank, and the almost double bed size (75” by 53”) sells it for me. Not to forget the 4 passenger capacity with seat belts.

[@cj9667]

But no where for 4 to sleep!

[@MacGyver2154]

That is more likely a 20 lb tank. Not 20 gallons.

Is there an option to remove the Propane stove and tanks and rather use the lithium batteries for an induction cooktop? It would free up some extra storage in the back and one less thing to fill up before a trip or worry about running out. @WinnebagoRVs

[@SychJess]

As a current Solis Pocket owner… Likes: the hydraulic cabinet holders taller faucet relocated house switch Additional seatbelt/carseat tether No cabinet where dinette is (make it bigger/wider) Hot water Dislike: L shape lounge blocking fridge The sleeping accommodation No garage storage space Overall, truly a fantastic van for a single person. Definitely no more than one MAYBE 2 people. The extra seatbelts seem kind of useless. I still prefer the layout of my 2022 Solis Pocket A36

Wow. Really digging this! If it was still just the wife and I, we would likely have this already on order. Now with a 2 year old and one on way, this would be too small.

“Quality” is subjective. As a current Pocket owner the materials are very poor quality. Within the first month of owning the countertop split. The lining in cabinets fell. Screen door zippers didnt work. Fan squeaks. 🤷‍♀️

@@SychJessHi there - wow, that surprises me. I’ve owned my Pocket 36A for a year and half now, put 25K miles on it and I don’t have any of those issues. I guess it all depends what the “story” was at the assembly line during the production cycle? I’ve actually been very impressed with mine, I have had zero issues, fingers crossed let’s hope I don’t jinx it! Anyway, hope you can still get to enjoy your Pocket, though! 😊

[@billredding2000]

@@SS-Schatzi There shouldn't be any "story at the assembly line" as their Quality Control Dept. (IF thy even have one) should BE SURE no "crap-built" products leave the factory. They don't. For YEARS now, Winnebago's quality has been (still is) considered "average" and average in the RV industry = POOR. Why? Winnebago need to call Pleasure-Way (P-W) -- or one of the other "above average" (at least) Canadian RV makers -- and find out how to build a QUALITY RV -- and offering a warranty like P-W's would be great, too. Frankly, I don't care how nice a RV looks on the surface, to me how it's built (fit & finish/materials used) is WAY more important. Winnebago's "bar" is set pretty low. As for Thor, which (sadly) owns Airstream, they also have nice designs (their small Class A is a great concept) but their reputation for poorly-built RVs is legendary -- I'd rather buy a Winnebago. But really, would prefer something Canadian as it seems the Canadian RV makers care more about quality than American makers do. -- BR

[@judylowe2688]

@@billredding2000 thank you for your very helpful information on the make of these RV's. Because I was also thinking about the Pleasure way Tofino! Not being able to stand up unless the pop top is up has me hesitant. That's why I'm so excited about the new Solis pocket 36B

[@dgkushi]

How long can you run the air conditioner from the battery? Can the eco flow be charged by the van engine?

[@WinnebagoRVs]

The air conditioner can operate off the battery but length of time is going to depend on several variables (temperature, length of time running, number of people in coach, etc.). The EcoFlow does charge off the chassis alternator, Solar and shore power.

[@EnjoyRaboy]

This would almost be perfect, but wish it would have a seatbelt on the opposite of the dinette. When road tripping, I would love to have access to the toilet if an emergency happens while on the road and not having another belted passenger blocking the restroom. Having a Pop top option would be cool for pit stops that happen on a whim and you have passengers.

[@ronaldcreighton3289]

I guess the solution would be just to go outside the van open the back door and go to the bathroom at least you have that option

[@socialmediainfo-um6hw]

[@vanlifewithsteve9875]

Can you add additional lithium batteries and if so what would be the general process of adding them? Thanks.

[@AmpedtoGlamp]

Love the additional clearance and incognito design. The dinette/sleeping area seems like a lot of work. Not a van person but very nice model.

[@WinnebagoRVs]

Appreciate your feedback!

[@robmagu65]

I just don't understand why a lot of van builders are opting to remove the black tank and put in a porta potty solution. The cassette or porta-potty toilet is gross to empty and you already have a gray tank that I need to empty. Give us a real toilet! It is always easier to dump rather than drag my toilet to the somewhere and empty it like a bucket .... I have a 2018 Travato with a black tank and it is perfect

[@gingaorangecat6960]

Will you still be able to buy an A or does the B replace the A. Thank you

[@TJDawgs72]

Can the propane burner top on the counter be optioned out or replaced with an induction burner?

[@dougmanck4149]

Great design. The shower drain pump is a bummer. And wish there was a spot for a wastebasket as well as dimmable lights. Great to have a lithium option.

[@user-df3rv1ii7w]

Is there an option for lithium that runs the outlets for microwave, toaster over, induction top instead of propane? Of course also AC/Heat? Boondocking rather than being plugged in - 2nd alternator for driving charge?
