Winnebago Solis Pocket to feature EcoFlow's
Power Kit Pro with powerful 5kWh lithium battery as part of the
companies' recently announced partnership
SEATTLE, July 20,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- EcoFlow, a leading power
management and eco-friendly energy solutions company, and
Winnebago, the flagship brand of outdoor lifestyle product
manufacturer Winnebago Industries, Inc., today announced the launch
of the Solis Pocket 36B, featuring
the exclusive Winnebago x EcoFlow Power Kit Pro.
The new, sustainability-focused vehicle packs more into a
compact size than any other RV, providing customers with many of
the features and conveniences of a full-sized RV.
The optional Winnebago x EcoFlow Power Kit Pro developed in
partnership with Winnebago features an exclusive 5-in-1 power
management controller
that consolidates five essential power components
into one compact hub that optimizes energy performance.
The system comes with EcoFlow's compact 5 kilowatt-hour
(kWh) lithium battery, which helps save
space and reduce vehicle weight. A new digital
touchscreen simplifies owner operations.
The Solis 36B follows the
companies' partnership announcement earlier this year and was
developed in response to the rise in remote lifestyles, off-grid
leisure and demand for energy independence. With its compact size
and optional integration of the Winnebago x EcoFlow Power Kit Pro,
the Solis 36B will unlock new ways of
living for customers, whether in the mountains, by the ocean or on
the road, while delivering seamless access to power wherever their
adventures take them.
"At EcoFlow, we want to make sustainable energy solutions that
enable adventurous, off-grid living accessible and reliable to
anyone, anywhere," said Brian
Essenmacher, North American Head of Business Development at
EcoFlow. "We're thrilled to partner with Winnebago to bring
the Solis 36B to life and provide
customers with an unparalleled RV experience that combines the
freedom for outdoor living and exploration with easy-to-use,
sustainable power solutions."
"Winnebago's partnership with EcoFlow is another example of our
company's continuous innovation and proven ability to deliver
technology that enhances owners' experiences on the road," said
Winnebago President Huw Bower. "The
new floor plan, combined with the optional power solution, makes
the Solis Pocket more versatile, energy-efficient and easier to
operate than ever before. It's just one way Winnebago is giving
owners freedom to explore the outdoors on their terms."
Key Features and Benefits of the Solis Pocket
36B
Combining a compact and powerful 5kWh house lithium battery with
the Winnebago x EcoFlow Power Kit Pro, a 5-in-1 power management
controller, Solis delivers best-in-class energy performance in a
simple-to-use solution. EcoFlow's lithium battery eliminates the
need to plug in through shore power to power air conditioning,
lighting, water heaters, water pumps, appliances and recharge
devices.
The 5-in-1 power management controller optimizes
energy efficiency, simplifies vehicle operations and enhances the
overall ownership experience by replacing five essential power
components — inverter, shore power converter, battery energy
converter, solar energy converter and alternator energy optimizer —
into a single system. In addition, this groundbreaking
solution:
- Provides best-in-class power generation up to 3,600
watts — enough to easily power multiple appliances at the same
time.
- Reduces shore-power charging time by 50 percent,
compared with the standard -systems.
- Can plug-and-play up to two additional batteries, which
owners can easily install and connect without custom wiring.
- Offers several performance enhancements vs. the standard
EcoFlow Power Hub, including:
- 40-percent faster lithium house battery recharging
from the vehicle engine through the Alternator Energy
Optimizer.
- Faster battery recovery time
if the battery overheats in extreme
conditions.
- More simplified and intuitive user
interface on the digital control screen.
A compact 5 kWh Lithium house
battery is integral to the Power Kit Pro and provides
numerous benefits. It:
- Fits under the dinette seat, saving space and reducing weight
in the compact camper van.
- Enables up to three days of boondocking or off-grid living in
favorable weather conditions.
- Eliminates the need for a gas or LP generator.
- Operates the air conditioner (A/C) for up to five hours.
Flexible, compact, and hassle-free
Solis 36B was designed to be
customizable and multi-functional. The dinette can be easily
reconfigured seven ways to meet a broad range of traveling needs,
whether traveling solo or with up to four people, or commuting,
entertaining or working from the road. The seven customizable modes
include:
- Two dinette modes: the ability to convert from a
2-person dinette to a 4-person dinette
- Travel mode: provide seating for two additional guests
by extending the forward-facing dinette cushion towards the
passenger side.
- Sleep mode: solo travelers can turn the dinette into a
single sleeper space that spans 30" x 75", while extending the
dinette across the coach can create a comfortable 53" x 75" double
bed sleeping space.
- Three lounge modes: including a sofa, L-shape or
daybed.
Ready to hit the road for extended season camping
The vehicle is also equipped for extended season camping, with
extensive interior insulation, internally housed water tanks and
water lines, and a Truma® Combi™ Eco.
Innovative features for comfort and convenience
A customizable, multi-functional
dinette that easily reconfigures eight ways to meet a
broad range of traveling needs, from entertaining to working.
Specific options include:
- Two Dinette Modes, allowing conversion from a two-
to four-person dinette.
- Travel Mode, extending the forward-facing dinette
cushion towards the passenger side to provide seating for two
additional guests.
- Sleep Mode, giving solo travelers the option to
turn the dinette into a single sleeper space spanning 30 inches x
75 inches. This configuration provides access to the coach's
amenities without the need for tear-down. For double bed sleeping,
the dinette can extend across the coach, creating a comfortable
53-inch x 75-inch sleeping space.
- Four Lounge Modes, offering a 6-foot-6-inch sofa to
create a spacious entertainment area; an L-shape sitting space,
either forward- or rear-facing; or a day bed that extends the
rear-facing dinette to the sliding door.
A rear wet bath provides travelers
more convenience, independence and security by obviating the
need for public restrooms while on the road. The new design
features:
- More storage and flexibility for use as a shower or
open-space "mudroom" for skis, snow suits or wet gear.
- A portable, easily removable toilet that creates a
larger space to shower.
- A built-in sink with countertop that enhances
livability and provides more functional space for getting
ready.
- A medicine cabinet with a French-style mirror and
access to electrical outlets.
- Internal water tanks that prevent water from
freezing, giving the camper extended-season capability.
