This has been on my list. Good to see a review of one actually being used! Thanks!

Glad your Ekko is working out for you three! The cutest part of the video was Maggie looking out the window while you were filming! Great video!

Good morning, sweet friends! What a great video. Thanks so much for the honest review about the pros and cons. Y'all did such a great job with the technical aspects of the video, too. I loved how you started this one! I'm glad you are enjoying it and finding things like the outside kitchen that are just an added plus for you. I can't wait to see where you go next. I hope you have a great week! Much love from SC, Jane ❤🙏🐾

Love your RV choice especially the out door kitchen, 4 wd capabilities, driving comfort like a big car .

All Very good and helpful points! Comfort is my #1 deciding factor in wanting to switch from my adventure van to something more comfortable. Making your list of pros and cons is so important.

I appreciated your honesty and taking time to video!

So glad you like the EKKO. That’s what is most important - that YOU like it. Enjoy and don’t forget to take us along for the ride. Safe travels & stay well!

Great video and I’m glad you love you Ekko! Glad you bought something that has a lot more room in it. Glad the Ekko makes you happy. I love the Ekko myself. I think it’s cute. Love the bat awning myself. That’s outdoor kitchen is pretty nice too! Love that it gives you a frig. Very nice Rv. I think this Ekko fits you both very well. Have a great week and weekend. See you on down the road.

Hello from Az 😊 Owen and Lynn Great video!!! 👍😊 Hubby and I just purchased our first van (Thor motor coach 18M) about two weeks ago we are so excited🤗 we are getting to know it alttle bit better ...each day! learning alot 😊 we chose this van ..we believe it is good for our needs ..and we are happy!!! 😁Thank you to you both ..we have learned alot from your video's ! You guys are awsome ..and so it maggie 🐕 Have a beautiful bless day ! 💛

You guys are wonderful! Thanks for this video, you've made me think twice about the EKKO.

Thanks for helping the newbies like us!

Boy, I'm super excited to see where you go and how your new rig performs.

Great video! I'm glad I found your channel. We've had a Travato and our current van is a Boldt. Sometimes I find myself daydreaming about that gear garage and dinning/work area (we have the K floor plan, so twin beds), and extra interior space of the Ekko. But not enough to change over. Anyways, I'll just live vicariously through videos like y'all's whenever I get that itch. Safe travels and thanks for the vid!

Thank you so much for your video...we have been looking for something like this for years. We are waiting till spring,and will be buying a Ekko.

Looks like yall found the perfect RV.....for now!!! Happy Trails 🐕

I love the Ekko, now I really want one. So I will wait 2023. And hope all the Kinks are worked out. Thank you so much for sharing be safe and happy travels.

Comfort is key to happy travels, I suppose depending on what your comfort levels are. Use to be in the early days of “campers” it was cool to be off the ground in an enclosed, warm environment. I remember those basic campers, and it was a good time. No tv, no microwave, no lithium, and sometimes no bathroom. How did we ever survive? With good memories and good campfires! Nowadays, the expectations are different, the rigs so much nicer, and the M.S.R.P. rising which leads us back to...Comfort and Convenience. We expect it, we want it, and are determined to find it. Yep, comfort seems to be the in thing in the RV world, and it sure makes the days spent on the road so much nicer. Loving my Class C 24B, it’s my comfort mobile. Safe travels and belly rubs for the Princess. 🐕❤️🚗🇺🇸

Great review on the Ekko. Nice illustrations and very well presented. It’s my number one pick if we don’t build our own. 💕

This is the video I have been waiting for. As a first-time RV buyer, it helps confirm my pick for EKKO over Travato and LTV. Thanks, Owen, Lynn and Maggie 😃

Folks I really enjoyed your video! I full time in a truck based class c way back before it was cool. I learned so much. While i had pop up sliding and hard side sleeper caps each rv had its advantages and disadvantages. One thing I despised on a dual rear wheel camper is getting rocks jammed between the rims during mild off road travels. Ugh! Other than that our Scerro Scotty on a Ram diesel chassis was light years ahead of other products. Your camper seems to be the same. I will subscribe and hope to learn as much from you as I did from the fit rv gang. Safe travels Rich

Thanks for the thorough review. Been thinking about switching to an EKKO from our Transit 148" med roof build. Reasons are very similar to your upgrade reasoning. The EKKO is very difficult to get right now but hopefully will be more plentiful come next spring/summer. Newly subscribed and excited to follow along on your future journeys!

I love all the boxes the Ekko checks!! thanks for sharing

Taking the browns to the super bowl always makes the 12 year old in me laugh. I love the EKKO the only thing that stops us is the price. Thank you for bringing us this video. Happy tails and safe travels.

Thanks for sharing! We’ve been dreaming of the Ekko’s benefits over our short Sprinter RV Pleasure-Way Ascent.

I just picked up my Storyteller MODE LT. I was really considering this Ekko. The Volta system is what really sold me.

Awesome review, thanks!🎉❤

As a retired Navy Vet, I found the information here very useful!😏🇺🇸👍🏾

I absolutely love full time rving and I hope that I can start going out to other places after school gets out

Nice review! Quick release pedals designed for folding bikes makes the bikes easier to stack closer together.

We are having the same talks about more space . Pros and cans of moving to a little bigger rig. We are headed to Fla at Xmas for 3 months so we will get to shop around. See you down the road someday Have a safe trip

Love these. Such a great idea, but at $188K they're out of reach for many of us. Hopefully in the years to come prices will come back down to something reasonable. Looking forward to where you take this!

I didn't comment the first time I watched, but I had to say how great this episode was. So I had to watch it twice to leave you some encouragement. (and I try never to leave one of your vids in the middle for your analytics) Peace & Prayers,

That’s real life. Glad for your guys!

The bottom line is you have to buy what makes sense for your lifestyle and budget. The Ekko seems to fit perfect for your travel style. We have had our 22 Travato 59K for a little over 3 months and 7,000 miles now. It is comfortable, we love the roomy twin beds and it gets fantastic mileage for an RV. We were torn between the Travato and the Revel but in the end the Travato met more of our needs.

Cheers from Arizona. Great vid. Thank you.

That's really amazing you feel the same....I actually own a 22 travato 59gl and love mine it's not a class b I would give up for anything on the market...except a ekko I been looking at them myself. It's a very tempting thought to have a ekko it looks perfect and I like it being little more cold temperature resistant.

Great video and I’m so glad you guys are enjoying the Ekko! (Spell check keeps changing Ekko to Elmo 😂). When you were choosing your “nimble comfort”, were there other options/brands that you considered? I would love to know your #2 and #3 choices that didn’t quite make the cut.

Thank you for sharing this with me and it was interesting and informative!! As Always BS & BK & BC !!!!

I think you just sold a thousand units! And you’re making John jealous. Gosh, if we could only get our chassis!!!

"Taking the Browns to the Super Bowl." Oh my gosh. That's hilarious. I'm stealing that line for sure! :-) Great video! Thank you!

Cool. My girl and I bought an rv traveled around America for 8 months all off roaring staying off the beaten path. No camp grounds. Got home moved to sc. sold the rv to move here. And I miss it sooooo much. I’m looking for a van like you guys have. Just cost too much. I’m so sad. I wanna get back on the road so bad. Happy for you guys.

Great analysis. Now that our three kids are grown and have moved to the NW, NE & SE away from our SW home our 2,600sqft house sits unused except for occasional holidays; and now that we got our Jeep kitted out as a camper we’re not even home on the weekends. Renting out our home to a niece & her husband giving us the ability to still park an Ekko in our side yard between trips around the country to our kid’s homes while flat towing our Jeep to explore while we’re out there seems like an interesting concept. No compromise like the Revel. True off road with the Jeep and a comfortable “motel room” when used as a Base Camp at one of the kid’s homes. Plus our existing house gets safely used and even with a “family” discount on the rent the payment & insurance on the Ekko gets covered. P.S. This also allows us to stage camping trips from a Base Camp in all four corners of US while not disrupting the ebb & flow of our kids family life as we would retire to the Ekko in the evenings. A win/win as we are not yet sure we want to sell our full size home and downsize.

Nicely done video!! Good to see some of the bad along with the good! Suspect you may miss on occasion the clearance of the Sprinter, but for most uses you would be fine. We are considering one of these likely with the two battery option. We have 400 amps of lithium now and can easily go three full days without power; more if good solar so 600 plus would be all we would ever need (note we almost never use AC).

Another great video Lynn and Owen! I love your new rig, this one and the Travato are my favorite, I enjoy watching you drive it. I noticed Maggie has a blue pillow cone around her neck, hope she is okay. She seems perky as ever in the passenger seat, so I'm sure she is, take care, Patty.

I’ve always had a class A, traveling with kids, all the toys, and now I live in it. However, it has been very restrictive as to where I could go. Now that I travel alone, I might just have to have two RV’s (wonder if I can tow an EKKO to Florida for the winter). What a wonderful problem to contemplate.

It's a good coach. We are thinking of the new Vista NP edition since we are still working summers managing campgrounds for the USFS in Colorado yet want the LIFEPO4 battery option with solar, etc. It seems every 2 years our needs shift some, but you got it dialed in for now!!! -David & Sheila Knapp.

Love it. Hoping you have protection, stay safe.

Nice review of the Ekko. Hope Maggie's eye issue gets resolved. Your subscribers in Milan 🇮🇹...🇮🇹...🇮🇹...🇮🇹

We have an Ekko also, for over a year now. We purchased folding ebikes and they fit great in the garage and we still have enough room for everything else.

I too had a Revel, but after a year or so came to same conclusion of being too small and not comfortable for a couple. I sold it while resale was good and replaced with a ‘22 F150 Powerboost hybrid pickup and a 22 ft. Nash 17k OTG 4 season trailer. This checks our boxes and has a comfy full size queen bed, solar, generator, dual pane windows, good insulation and much better kitchen and bathroom. Camper shell on truck offers lots of storage.

Great video. I wish Winnebago could increase their production of the Ekko and Travato

Great vid ,I am looking up the echo now thanks

great analysis

Awesome review

Excellent review😊

“ the Browns to the Super Bowl” - we are cracking up! Another great video, y’all. 🎃

Really enjoying your channel.

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 our plan is only for in 5 years retirement but we have an eye on the ekko. Hopefully by then improvement will have been made or used will have been fixed.

Hey ya'll we watch you all as much as possible. We even watch the reruns of the places you love to camp. Me and my husband Jerry really like to camp at santee state park in the cypress campground. It is by the water. I just love to sit outside and watch the water. It is great. We wi be there this week from Wednesday-SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 2ND - THE 6TH. LEAVING ON MONDAY THE 7TH OF THIS COMING WEEK. IM TALKING 2022. We would love for you all to visit us. We are at campsite 45.

Interesting, I’ve had three different Camper set ups, and each time I’ve gotten a little bit smaller. So it’s very interesting to hear somebody who’s getting or going the other way. Although I don’t travel & live in my vehicle, which might make quite a bit of difference in how you perceive things. 🖖

Glad to hear the EKKO is doing you proud! I have a questions... all about the generator: 1. Do you HAVE to use the generator for the A/C or do you have enough battery power to last for your needs? 2. How many hours are your needs for A/C without the generator? 3. What is the decibel level of your generator? We don't have a generator, but our A/C is a split system with condenser under the van. If you are right next to it, it's about 73dBA, but is about 5 dBA at about 12 feet (with an ambient noise level of around 52dBa. 4. Does the generator use the fuel from the van or does it have it's own fuel system? 5. What brand is the generator? Gee... that's a lot more questions than I thought! And I probably could think of more! Oh well... have a wonderful week and be seeing you!

They didn't really mention this in the video but one thing about the ekko is it can handle really cold temperatures better then pretty much any class b out there.

Thank you as I am waiting as this is what I want. How much ceiling space in that garage left. You may be able to hack a rack there to hang the bikes or rack the paddles or other storage. Just a thought.

So glad your enjoying and are happy with the ekko. We like the size and layouts but I'm not willing to pay close to 200k for one because of the Ford Transit platform. I don't see these lasting 75K miles before your dropping serious money into the engine and drive trains. Lot of money for the rv when the chassis sells for roughly 40k.

I'm honestly surprised so many people are against cassette toilets. You can dump in a bathroom toilet and dump station. You also don't have to connect a slinky and put it away.

Stumbled across your channel a few days ago and have enjoyed watching. Ton's in common as we are from NC, my wife and the dog travel together and we have a Revel. We have had our Revel for just under two years and it has been awesome. We have seen and done so much more than we could ever have even imaged. 24 National parks, epic hikes and biking. Most our trips have been under a week because we still work. But when we travel over 5 days the Revel becomes too small. We also, like you, found out (mostly my wife) that serious overland isn't our thing. Thus, I have researched our options and the EKKO is one of them. So to my few question. 1) Does it have more or less rattles than the Revel? I have spent hours chasing rattles and have ours in great shape now. 2) After several months of use are you still happy with the choices or have you seen others? Thank you in advance.

All very classy but I think nothing beats the home made to suit yourselves . These posh campers look nice and I amsure they are comfortable , but for the cost of them you could travel a long way and have just as much fun in your custom built, and, you wouldn't mind the scratch or dent you are bound to get as you travel.

Maggie was ready to travel!!!

We are looking to replace our 2001 Roadtrek 190. We cannot find a new Class B with twin beds and a night stand with drawers. Our Roadtrek also has a storage are behind the rear doors where our two golf bags just fit. This also is another thing we cannot find. We are sold on the Ford Transit as we prefer gas to Diesel and do not wand to spend $20K more for the Sprinter which has limited dealers for service. Finally, we want all solar and battery power with no propane. Does your generator run on gas? While we love the maneuverability of the Class B, it looks like we will have to step up to the B+ to get the features we prefer.

Excellent video. My wife and I are definitely in the "comfort" stage of life when it comes to travel and life in general! :) I think the Ekko is the sweet spot for us too. Just curious... I know many of the pros and cons of diesel but was wondering what your reasons were for having a gas engine as a requirement.

wwowowow thanks! i think about revel and ekko !!!! yes i will buy ekko thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great comparison, you have me thinking about our Travato and future travels. What are your thoughts about if you had traveled to Alaska in the EKKO?

I would have liked to hear about all the factory recalls. The price paid is ridiculous then have all the design issues. That's my draw back from buying one.

Comparing Lynn's smile on this purchase versus the Revel, says it all.

Looks like a great option for me and my wife to buy for our long trips going to dog shows instead of wasting money on a hotel room.

The B box (? Advanced RV) is similar dimension a alot more expensive. I think the Ekko is a great product and design. I would like a monochromatic look. I hope incinerating toilets become more affordable and efficient (electrically) Get rid of the black tank

Already referred to this on the Ekko site, thanks for posting. Where did you get that griddle top? I checked your store but didn't see it. Thanks again.

Fans gastric video, I have very similar thoughts between the two. Wish I had the outdoor kitchen.

I am glad you bought it also. The revel screamed yuppie too me 🤢

Excellent information. We’ve been on the fence about a purchase, but now think the time is right. Were you comfortable at night during the summer heatwave? Also, would it be possible to add a bike rack for 2 bikes? We want to travel with windsurf gear, stand up paddles and e-bikes.

wowow ! love the video , revel owner here, do you know if the outdoor kitchen can be added on the pop up version?

Love the paint design but for the price they can do better than a cassette toliet. Ill just get a Cross trail thank you.

I clicked subscribe when you said "taking the Browns to the Super bowl.".

GREAT VIDEO....

My first Winne was a 1979 Dodge Van, no bath, but a small kitchen. I was 170 lbs then, now I’m not, so today it’s a 40’ 4-slide Monaco that I live in. So, I’m contemplating two RVs?????

I thought the Generator goes where the outdoor grill is stored? I guess I am wrong will have to relook at the options and what you gain and lose like two batteries vs. one.

The EKKO is a possibility for me, but as a single traveler I wonder if it is just too big. Lots if wasted space. May just go back down to a B in my plans not sure I want a black tank. I like the Revel but don't want a diesel chassis.

VERY NICE !

Can you comment on what the ‘driving effort’ and ‘ride quality’ is like compared to the travago?

nice, looking camper van. thank, you both for you're video. Happy, camping. Random vanners east coast virginia. 2%

Seeya next time.

Your list is very similar to ours and that’s why the EKKO is at the top of our short list right now. I’m curious, though, why don’t you want a black tank?

I NOSE you are right.

Not sure if it was mentioned (I promise I did my best to follow along) but how is the gas cost/mileage comparison between Revel and Ekko?

Nice rig, I've seen one on the road recently, OK maybe this is a stupid question for seasoned rv'ers but where does the poop go with no black water tank?

You better hope those problems don’t persist quality is not something to skip over.

Can you explain why 'no black tank'? What is the advantage to you? Thanks!

Have you had more issues parking and sleeping outside of campgrounds with the Ekko versus the smaller Revel? One of the biggest draws of a van is ninja-camping. Does this larger and much more obvious RV prevent you from doing so? Is it more difficult to legally sleep for free in random places?

You mentioned not liking having a black tank. Do you have a video about that? I can't find it. Why don't you like black tanks and prefer cassettes?

Nope…too big. I just downsized from a vehicle very close to the EKKO to a Sprinter..but I don’t have a dog, do not want to watch TV, and like the ability to drive it as a daily driver…nimble “enough” really doesn’t make me want to use in a more versatile manner like the Sprinter. To each their own ! Thanks for the review and your opinion! 🤙🏼
