[Chance]

I know the Devil is in the details, but at first glance I really like what Winnebago has created in the brand new Ekko. It’s pretty much between a Class B van and other present Class B+ (technically also Cutaways).

Has bike garage, and automotive front-facing seats with 3-point seat belts.

At 23’-2” it’s not much longer than many vans, and shorter than many Sprinters.

It’s only 86.5 inches wide and 10’-6” high.

Standard 2800-Watt inverter generator.

Standard 315 Amp-hour lithium.

DC compressor refrigerator.

Option to delete generator and add extra 315 Amp-hour battery.

Standard 455 Watt solar.

Second dedicated alternator for house batteries

2,000-Watt inverter

Walls are extra thick and include dual pane windows.

All tanks and water lines are above floor in heated area.

Winnebago also has a longer floor plan at 25 feet based on longer 178-inch wheelbase chassis.

The larger unit has split dry bath, while shorter has semi-dry-wet bath using new pivoting wall design introduced in Europe a few years ago.


I’ll give Winnebago credit for trying newer designs compared to other large manufacturers.

While not for everyone, the size just above a van has a lot of appeal. The high cost due to all the nice standard features maybe not so much. It’s a lot of extra cost to justify.
