Battle of the B’s: Winnebago Solis vs. Winnebago Travato

This month we are going to focus on Winnebago Class B camper vans, the Battle of the B’s! The Class B camper van market continues to grow and offers a number of different options for those looking to go where they want, when they want, in an RV.  Class B motorhomes are compact and smaller in stature compared to traditional Class A and Class C motorhomes. Class B’s are also larger and taller than a typical full-sized van allowing space within the Class B RV for living, sleeping and a wet bath. Winnebago offers a number of different Class B van options, we will discuss two of them below.

The Winnebago Travato and the Winnebago Solis are built on the efficient RAM ProMaster chassis.  This newly enhanced chassis now features additional safety and cab enhancements including electronic park brake, forward collision warning plus, multi-collision braking and more. The Travato and the Solis are each built with premium insulation to keep weather at bay and the sounds of the road out with ceiling-to-floor insulation. However, they also have many differences.
