The Mercedes Ekko is redefining the RV experience, merging the agility of a camper van with the spaciousness of a Class C motorhome, all while boasting all-wheel drive capability for unparalleled exploration. Built on the robust Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis, the EKKO is engineered for those who crave adventure without sacrificing comfort or convenience, regardless of the season. This innovative RV isn’t just a new model; it’s a new category, designed to seamlessly blend the nomadic spirit of van life with the storage and livability expected from traditional touring motorhomes.
The Winnebago EKKO, now available on the Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis, takes off-grid living to new heights. Its standard all-wheel-drive system confidently navigates terrains where other motorhomes falter, while its compact van dimensions ensure ease of driving and parking in urban and natural settings alike. This makes the Mercedes EKKO an ideal companion for adventurers seeking to explore beyond the paved path without compromising on the comforts of home.
The EKKO 23B model introduces a versatile front living area, adaptable to various needs. Featuring dual seat belt locations, accommodating up to four passengers, this space can transform from a large forward-facing dinette to a cross-coach dinette, dual sofas, or even a comfortable 30×78 inch sleeping area. For larger groups, the inclusion of a Luno Life cab bed expands sleeping capacity to four, and with an optional pop-top, the Mercedes EKKO 23B can comfortably sleep up to six adventurers.
Catering to culinary needs on the road, the Mercedes EKKO comes equipped with a standard convection microwave oven and a portable induction cooktop, offering flexible cooking solutions both inside and outside the RV.
