Winnebago Motor Homes - How the Winnebago® Solis® Balances Seating, Storage, and Off-Grid Power for Milwaukee, WI Families
Weekend plans change fast — and that’s exactly where the Winnebago® Solis® shines. Whether you’re headed to a ball tournament on Friday and a state park on Saturday, the Solis® 59P and 59PX keep you nimble in city traffic yet capable when the pavement ends. With swivel cab seats, a versatile dinette, and a forward-facing 12V refrigerator that opens from the living area or curbside, the lounge doubles as a meal station or mobile office. Add the fiberglass pop-top and you can tuck two sleepers “upstairs,” freeing the Murphy+ bed for quiet rest below. For Milwaukee, WI families who pack sports gear, strollers, or bikes, the cross-coach bed design and L-track cargo tie-downs create an adaptable garage with real utility.
Power is the difference between cutting a trip short and staying one more sunrise. That’s why many buyers choose the available Winnebago® x EcoFlow® Power Kit Pro in the Solis Pocket® 36B, which combines a 5kWh lithium battery with an integrated 5-in-1 power hub. It intelligently manages inputs from solar, shore, alternator, and generator to keep essentials running. Pair it with the quiet, efficient Truma Combi® Eco heating system and thermal cab/window coverings, and you’re set for shoulder-season overnights along Lake Michigan. The rear annex on Solis® becomes an instant outdoor shower space or changing room, while the side and rear screen doors let the lakeshore breeze flow through without inviting bugs.
- Family seating: Swivel cab seats and a forward-facing dinette with 3-point seat belts keep conversations lively and secure on the move.
- Flexible sleep: Pop-top sleeping for two plus the Murphy+ bed maximize space on camp nights.
- Smart storage: L-track tie-downs and MOLLE panels help secure bikes, coolers, and adventure gear.

Thinking beyond the floor plan pays off. Consider how you’ll use the lounge during the week — school pickups, grocery runs, or commuting — and how quickly it needs to convert to camping mode by Friday evening. The Solis® layout thrives on transitions: adjustable tables, movable cushions that reveal extra countertop space, and storage zones that adapt as your weekend evolves. It’s why so many local owners say the Solis® replaced a second vehicle and added a vacation home in the same purchase.
Winnebago Motor Homes helps families fine-tune their Solis® builds with the right accessories the first time. Child seat tether anchor considerations, cargo weight distribution, and must-have comforts like screen doors, thermal shades, and exterior fold-down tables are matched to the way you actually travel. We also help you understand generator vs. lithium trade-offs, solar sizing, and shore-power strategies so your setup stays simple and reliable.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can the Solis® handle winter day trips around the lake?
With the Truma Combi® Eco heating system, extensive insulation, and thermal coverings, the Solis® supports extended-season day trips and well-planned overnights. Always follow winterization guidelines when camping in freezing conditions.
How many seat belts are available for kids?
Most Solis® floor plans include four or more 3-point seat belts, with available child seat tether anchors depending on configuration. We’ll help you select a layout that matches your family’s seating requirements.
Which power setup is best for weekends vs. longer trips?
