It is a relatively high volume production operation compared to Nimbl, EC, etc and this model is a big step for them into a new type of RV. They are trying out new components and suppliers in many areas with the EKKO and not taking on new stuff in other areas. Propane is tried and true and Truma...

I would also prefer the gasoline heat and hot water option and induction and no propane but Winnebago has pretty well standardized on Truma propane so I am not surprised they didn’t go with a new brand and gasoline units.

A hardtop with the bed still over the cab? I think it would be more than 6-12” taller. You want to be able to sit up in the bed...

That is the number that has been talked about and there must be an actual weight for the prototype but it may not be representative of the actual curb weight of the production vehicles and even those will vary depending on the option set. Each production unit will have the standard weight label...

I expect the typical RV owner doesn’t know much about the issue and given that most do not have much cargo capacity they are overloaded on a regular basis. Each does have a sticker that specifies the cargo capacity but most owners probably don’t even look at it or attempt to follow it. I am...

On the other hand, the Transit is a commercial vehicle so it should handle gravel roads and dirt roads that are reasonably maintained. They tested them on these types of roads as part of the development testing.

Yes, they use a 48v Volta lithium system in some RVs. Here is an overview of the two options...

Yes, the GVWR is not some magic limit where something drastic happens if it is exceeded. But it is based on engineering analysis and sets a limit that provides reasonable chassis performance and reliability in normal use. What is considered normal use probably does not mean off road use. On...

50 gal water = 400 lb approximately

I did find out that the roof is 3” thick and the walls are 1.5” thick, not sure about the floor panel.

Very good, any info on whether these are thicker so get higher insulation value compared to their other RV’s and whether they are changing the internal structure compared to their other RV’s?

I have not seen any confirmation of the construction of the cabin on the EKKO. There is only one EKKO at the moment and it is a prototype. Given that the EKKO is designed to be the first 4 season Class C done by Winnebago with all the tanks and plumbing and storage within the heated cabin walls...

Agree, show me another option for $131,000 (the current actual discounted price for the EKKO) that has the features of the EKKO in terms of 4 seats, 4 season capability, lithium batteries with solar and auxiliary alternator, garage storage, option for sleeping 4, large water tank, etc. on an AWD...

If you look at the videos of the EKKO prototype it is clear that the walls and doors are thicker than the typical Winnebago Class C. They very well could be using a thicker foam core on the EKKO.

But it is very possible that the EKKO uses different construction, look at it and compare it to other Winnebago’s, looks like it could very well be constructed differently, or maybe not. Bottom line, it has not been confirmed that this represents EKKO construction.

As I mentioned, this diagram represents the construction of some Winnebago’s and someone posted it to an EKKO Facebook group but it may not represent the actual EKKO construction.

Panels are not as thick as what you get from GXV or Total Composites but the EKKO will still have very good 4 season capabilities.

Someone posted this on the EKKO Facebook group but not clear to me that it applies to the EKKO... https://www.lichtsinn.com/blog/the-walls-in-your-winnebago-motorhome/

Very good, I am familiar with the marine fan options and have never seen any that fit in the standard RV opening. Thought you were suggesting something specific that was available for a simple replacement.

What fan do you recommend to fit in the existing opening?
