Winnebago Motor Homes - Power, Comfort, and Smart Space in the 2026 Winnebago Solis for Milwaukee, WI Travelers
If you are weighing a Class B for versatile weekend travel, the 2026 Winnebago Solis stands out for two reasons that matter most on the Great Lakes circuit — dependable power systems and space that transforms all week. Built on the Ram ProMaster® with a confident V6 and 9-speed automatic, it is compact enough for downtown garages yet fully capable for trailheads and national forest sites. The interior design — Murphy+ bed, convertible seating, below-floor storage, and well-placed gear tie-downs — means you can go from work commutes to lake runs without reconfiguring the entire coach. Climate control is equally thoughtful: the Solis leverages a Truma Combi® Eco heating system and a 13,500 BTU A/C with directional ducts, while the Pocket uses the quick-warming Truma® VarioHeat™ to keep shoulder-season trips comfortable.
Where the Solis really differentiates itself is in how you can tailor energy and sleeping for your travel rhythm. The pop-top sleeping area with ladder on 59P and 59PX creates a separate loft for guests or a quiet reading perch with great ventilation. Solar is engineered in — a 220-watt flexible surface panel with controller when the pop-top is added, or a 190-watt panel with controller on non-pop-top models. If your travel includes game-day tailgates, trailhead breakfasts, or long vista stops, the available 2,800-watt gas generator on 59P (standard on 59PX) keeps the A/C and outlets humming without drama. Safety is more than a checklist here — Full-speed forward collision warning plus, Pedestrian automatic emergency braking system, Crosswind assist, and Post collision braking deliver an extra layer of confidence on I-94 or coastal drives along Lake Michigan.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I choose between the 59P and 59PX?
Pick the 59P for a clean balance of lounge space and city-friendly parking. Choose the 59PX if you regularly carry bikes, boards, or bulky gear — it adds length and dedicated gear space with an L-track cargo tie-down system, plus a standard 2,800-watt gas generator.
Can the Solis support light off-grid stays?
Yes. Between roof-mounted solar (190-watt or 220-watt with pop-top), deep-cycle AGM batteries, and the generator options, you can maintain essentials like lighting, refrigeration, device charging, and ventilation. For longer stays, discuss battery upgrades and charging strategies with our team.
Is the pop-top worth it for couples?
For many couples, yes — it adds a ventilated retreat for afternoon naps or stargazing and expands sleeping to host friends or family. It also separates sleep zones so one person can turn in early while the other reads or works in the lounge.
What safety features are most helpful for highway trips?
Full-speed forward collision warning plus, Pedestrian automatic emergency braking system, Crosswind assist, and Post collision braking are standout features for long, multi-lane drives, especially in gusty conditions or heavy traffic.
When you are planning a build, factor in your daily routine and your longest planned trip. Some travelers want the available pop-top and solar for flexible sleeping and power, then add the optional cab air mattress for an occasional guest. Others prefer the 59PX for the standard generator and cargo bay, then build around bike mounts and storage. With Winnebago Motor Homes guiding specs, you can fine-tune your coach and keep it simple to use every day — commuting Monday through Friday and escaping to the Dunes or Door County on the weekend.
