The all-new Winnebago® EKKO™ combines the efficiency of a camper van, the added capacity of a Class C coach, and the enhanced capability of AWD to create not just a new model, but an entirely new type of RV.

All-wheel drive Ford Transit Chassis

Let’s start with the Ford AWD chassis powered by a 3.5 EcoBoost V6 gas engine boasting 310hp and 400lb-ft of torque coupled to a 10-speed automatic Selectshift transmission. There is plenty of power to cruise the highways and climb the grades of any mountain range you set your sights on. Add the freedom of a 31-gallon fuel tank and wave goodbye to the city.  
 

Off-Grid Ready

Whether it’s to a favorite campground, lake lot, or if it’s off the beaten path, the EKKO is ready to take you there.  It boasts three solar panels equipped to pump out 455-watts, along with a second alternator that charges the batteries while you drive, plus don’t forget the standard package lithium-ion batteries! Pair that power and energy with a 50-gallon freshwater tank!  You can camp out for a few days and find great adventures!

All-weather prepped

The Winnebago EKKO isn’t just a summer holiday vehicle, they have thought of everything.  The tanks and water lines are all protected from the winter elements because they are located above the floor.  Your camping adventures can be year-round, if it’s beaches or ski slopes, the EKKO is a great choice to get you there.

 

Home on the road

All of the comforts of home, on the road with you!  The EKKO features a full galley and energy-efficient appliances.  Plenty of space to prepare a meal indoors and a fold-down table.  Winnebago has done a fantastic job of using every inch of available space to provide an adjustable workstation for the galley when you need it and tucked out of the way when you don’t.

Family friendly

The EKKO provides seatbelts for up to 4 with three-point seatbelts at each chair, including convenient tether anchors for child safety seats.  

Let’s talk about everything the EKKO has to make driving as comfortable as being the passenger.  Adaptive Cruise control is there for both safety and convenience.  

Packaged in either 23’ or 25’ overall lengths the EKKO 22A or EKKO 24C open doors for an RV lifestyle that we have not seen previously. Freedom in a motorhome has never been this easy.
