That dry/wet bath setup legit blew my mind...bravo to Winnebago, great engineering!
Cost and most rvs are built cheap
The bathroom is cool but I hate the cold decor the red is so ugly.
Awesome! The Gentleman walking us through this video did a outstanding job.
I'll never own a camper or RV, yet I'm hooked on watching these!
Welcome to my world lol
What’s wrong with us? I love watching these and have no desire to cram myself into one of these. For some unknown reason, the more off grid these things get, the more excited I get.
Maybe view them as a car alternative, that you can also make coffee in and use as a mini hotel room when visiting people? They depreciate less than cars, and are cheap to insure (in Europe), so not such a bad alternative, especially the smaller 6m length ones.
I want one but scared to drive it
We've long ago decided a trailer if anything, but they're fascinating contraptions!
I always skip to interior, but this man knows this vehicle up and down.
Great salesmen
This is a nice coach! It's nice to see some of the larger manufacturers like Winnebago and Coachmen finally beginning to catch up to the many excellent custom van builders out there, when it comes to battery capacity, solar capacity, 4-season insulation, larger fridge, fresh/grey tank size, convenient cassette toilet, etc. These are the features that most customers want. I especially like the convertible bathroom design. The main issues for me are the small 2000 watt inverter and the propane. You need at least 3500 watt inverter for a truly off grid rig, but I suspect the larger battery package comes with a larger inverter. Also, many customers don't want propane onboard at all for various reasons, so an all electric option with induction cooking and chassis gas fed heat/hot water should be offered. That said, this is one of very few non-custom built coaches that I would actually consider buying...with just a few modifications. Well done Winnebago!
That was a pretty smooth presentation ! He covered everything without a hitch or glitch. Makes me want one of these.
This guy is extremely quick at changing/correcting a thought without fumbling. “Tethering your favorite ye-cooler” being an example. Very well spoken. That looks like a pretty slick setup too. Like the size and the fact that it comes with awd.
That's how the typical good salesman usually gets people to buy.
"But honey it sounded great at the dealership".
😂
Dude needs a c pap machine
@@karlhungus5436
Lol
@@karlhungus5436 - He needs more than that. He is gasping for breath just standing there. He has advanced heart disease and is morbidly obese. If he doesn't make drastic changes soon, he's a goner.
Too distracted by expecting him to have a heart attack any second.
Am I the only one who skips to the interior? Now, if I were going to buy it, I would already know about all of the features, tell you that. He can just move out of my way and let me look. Same with all of these videos.
I was just thinking the same thing.
Just don’t like propane nice evening though
That’s exactly what I do!!!
I rather have just the bathrm. And recliner seatings then the sink and stove..
LOL, I thought was alone
LOVE this on a Ford chassis, the ample solar and batteries, the cartridge toilet, and removable LP bottles. Twin beds are a plus too and easier to make up. This is a well thought-out Rig. I would seriously consider this one if I were buying now.
Wally, I can't get over how much you reminded me of Johnathan Winters. I thought you might bust into one of his classic bits.
Sorry didn't see your comment till later. You win.
He even sounds like him to...it would be cool if he did go right into one of Johnathan Winters skits...lol
“Gotta get this truckload of furniture to Yuma”.
That is exactly what I thought too! Totally Jonathan Winters!
Jonathon Winters! Yes! Thats who i was strugglin to think of.. Hero/mentor to the late great Robin Williams r.i.p.
Have always thought Winnie does a great job of thinking thru the challenges of RVing. Not neccesarly the super luxurious finishes that some have but just a really solid functional unit.
Love the LEAFS..too bad Betman played 10 against 6...He fbombed the CFL.. oh well...anyways love this unit..agree with you ..am looking for a good unit!!! TC GLG!!!!
I love the size being a single senior woman. I think the locking screen door is a fabulous security feature even when you are in the van. The only thing I would highly recommend to change is the very back cargo door. With it only tilting only half way up makes it very difficult to load items, it needs to be a door that tilts fully open to the van OR make is a side entry door.
I just had whiplash looking at a sink that moves out of the way for the shower very very smart guys omg wow blew my mind !!! You guy rocked that idea !
That was the AH HA moment for me too!
They snagged it from European camper manufacturers. It's about time someone here in the States started using it.
same here!!! Saw the cassette black tank and was like “nah” then he turned it around with that sink! Lmfao.
I had whiplash looking at the starting price of $163K!
LOL! European RVs have had those for years.
Learned a few of things I had never heard of before:
- Positive latches
- Molle panel
- Froli spring
Great presentation, good job.
That is fantastic!! That bathroom is amazing! I want that RV and I’m soooooo ready to go off the grid and vanish for awhile😂😂🙏🏼🙏🏼👍👍👍👍👋👋
Excellent Sales Representative, Thank you for taking the time to put this online .. Good Job !
Way to go Winnebago! great features on this unit! AWD, cabinet door latches, wet/dry bath.... We have those flip-out windows on our old Livin-Lite. They are SUPERIOR to typical sliders. Twice as much air flow and they never get stuck. Been waiting for more companies to adopt them. Might be time to trade the LL in for a ‘Bago 😀
I like the bathroom idea.
That bathroom is inventive. Love that idea.
Some very clever and useful options on this unit. Far more usability than my 84 Chieftain in an adorable aerodyne package.
I live fill time in my Cheiftain and love the spaciousness. It's customized for living but lacks the ability this Ekko clearly has to go off road, off grid, often! Winni has done it again 👍
I’d love to have a camper. Always wanted one now with covid it seems to be essential lol. However no way could I afford one. But it’s good to watch and dream. Cracking unit.
I have a Toyota one for sale I bet at least 100,000 less than they are asking
Winnebago is smart.
This is definitely where the class B customer is trending. Even custom van up-fitter ARV has started building chassis vans with boxes on them.
That little extra width makes a huge difference and the box allows better use of space, better insulation and you get outside accessible storage.
The overall size of the coach is just a little bigger than a regular class B, so class b customers still feel comfortable with the size, and they really like the extra space, so they will choose this over a standard class b.
The shower design is exactly what the wet bath needed and will be a great selling point.
Winnebago will sell them as fast as they can build them.
Wow he really is knowledgeable and doesn't ramble on about things. Also adds what can be added depending on customer or deleted! I really like video, and loved the rv!
It's really good that he's a big guy, being "plus sized" myself I worry about not being able to maneuver inside one of these things, it looks like there's plenty of room. If I have enough money one of these would be good for my planned retirement in a few years.
@@captainnerd6452 I noticed he didn't try stepping into the bathroom or shower though.
@@osntfair this is true, that toilet looked perilous even for a skinny person, too
Yes, frozen bicycles are a common problem🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, he does sound like Johnathan Winters and he did a great presentation. 👍👍👍👍👍
Gear garage at yhe back is an amazing feature. After loking at manyy brands and then watching this video...this Winnebago is, hands down, WINNER!
Loving the compact size with full features. Also like the solar for off grid. Great tour! Thanks.
Sweet! So nice. Love the bathroom design, the twin beds, storage,thickness of doors, the seats with three point seat belts. Love it.
The presentation was excellent, but in my opinion there isn't enough space for clothes, especially if you have clothes to hang! I had a trailer that had the same cassette toilet, and it was AWESOME, as I could dump it in any toilet anywhere! I purchased a second cassette, and that made it much more usable on longer trips.
As I get more and more into camping - both tent and RV - I am learning I use fewer and fewer clothes. But of course we all have different needs.
This is perfect for 1 or 2 only. Has every amenity I would want. I love it!
Finally twin beds. We get up at different times at night, and don't want to climb over each other. 😉
LOL, I was just thinking the same thing. I like that it's convertible to the larger queen as well. I've seen campers that have twin beds in the main bedroom, but few that convert.
Same here
@@poppyshock thumbs up great planning.
Excellent design! So well thought out! That bathroom is ingenious! the sink is like a rotating dental cuspidor - brilliant!
I’m out of breath, just listening to this gentleman constantly gasping for air.
I can get past this man gasping for air! I can’t concentrate on the product he’s selling:((((
I’m sorry but please get a different salesperson in the future! I’m thinking he’s going to collapse at any moment.
Great presentation. Presenter need to lose some weight.
This machine looks awesome!
Great features: love the swing wall in bathroom to have a shower = genius !
Thanks for the great review of this new Winnebago . Cheers !
Was not expecting that one … im not a genius …..😂
They got that idea from a germany company from one of their concept ideas. You can look it up, all camper vans should learn from this build "Hymer VisionVenture Concept Van Conversion"
You seem like a wonderful , caring man. So I’m saying this out of concern (I’m a nurse practitioner), your breathing while just walking around seems to be very labored. It may be something u want to have things checked out by a medical professional.
I’m not hating or being rude in any way. I’m just hoping by mentioning it, that u may see something that u didn’t know. I know many times others can see things about us that we ourselves cannot see.
I saw it very quickly too
I concur, his labored breathing is immediately noticeable and very concerning. ~~~~ And you definitely didn't sound hateful or nasty ..... we just live in a hyper sensitive world where a lot of things are backwards and inside out.
I felt concerned for him too. He would feel a lot better if he shed 100 pounds.
He should be checked out for sleep apnea. It killed a friend of mine at age 50. Check cholesterol levels too. Diet and exercise, eat fewer calories and get some exercise.
@@jeffparkinson5005everyone thinks we r fat shaming. But why can’t people be concerned for others. That super plus sized model I think her name is Tess Holiday or something like that( I couldn’t care less what she has to say,
How much you ask?😕
I’ve seen them online anywhere from $164K-179K
Guess I’ll be living in a van down by the river.
😆
Great Skit! RIP CHRIS FARLEY.
Me to..lol
That's a good one. 😂🤣😆
You could buy a trailer home with a dually to haul it around for less than that.
I absolutely love everything about this RV and it have all the right check boxes checked off for me, even the window in the bathroom. The one thing I would like is to have access to the garage storage from within the van. So the space in between the beds I wish that can open up to the garage storage as another exit or access point. Make it happen Winnebago.
Great idea, Ded!
Good to have access to the garage area from inside especially when it is raining.
Agreed!
That is the most innovative wet dry bath design I have ever seen in an rv
That bathroom is really clever!
Does that mean the sink uses a flexible/stretching hose to get water? How long will that hold up in constantly changing climates?
@@largol33t1 😐
make it a pop out bathroom too.
@@largol33t1 It's really a euro design. It's been tried and tested, overseas.
The hose has enough slack in the line to compensate for repeated movements. That is if a faucet is even attached to the sink. A hose attached, would be designed like the retractable sprayers, found in today's sinks.
Most designs I have seen in the RV, the faucet is attached to the wall, where there is no movement. The water drains from the sink, directly into the holding reservoir. Get your vehicle level, and you're good to go.
The hose (if one is connected), would be the least of an issue in the motorhome.
Plagiarism! They copied it from the UK campers.
that wall in bathroom...fantastic design! Thanks, Wally, for a professional tour. All the best!
They’ve been available for years on rigs in Europe. GLAD to see finally coming to the US!
Great walk-around. Well planned layout. As others have said, the lav is killer.
Now put that on a true 4WD platform and I'm sold.
That, and get rid of that POS 3.5 DI engine. Thing does not belong in anything "off grid".
That rear gear garage would be an excellent place to store kids that keep saying "are we there yet?"😁
Cool space use for the dry/wet bath, very similar to the concept van Vision Venture by Hymer
Why do they always show you around the outside first when all we want to see the inside?
(Pssssssst... you can skip forward! Just tap the screen, you’ll see a red line progress bar at the bottom with a red dot 🔴, press the dot and slide until the inside starts. See, problem solved!)
Or go to 8:16 😎
My preference is to see the outside first because I'm persnickety.
@@Erin-Thor That's a pain, and we've already seen what the outside of most vehicles are like already. If you're going to live in it, the inside is the first consideration.
@@amywalker7515 - Sort of, yes. But if you are interested in parting with your money, if you are looking to buy one, not just window shopping or still in the decision process, you WANT to see all of the detail. Are there valves exposed to the outside that can freeze, how are the things that hang from the underbelly secured, are there exposed cables? Are the generator exhaust and valves in places where they will be easily torn off or damaged, whatever. 😎 We all watch for something or some reason. I get a kick out of detailed reviews or an RF, and the only thing that matters to some are “Why didn’t you show it with the slides in?” LOL!
Great presentation Mr. Ballard. A very thoughtful design and platform for a trip around the country with some off road excursions.
Yes, a really nice rv. I like the toilet/shower and the big size refrigerator. Everything needed is right there inside. No need to get up and walk every time out to say a park bathroom. I want one, a big step up from my '76 chevy van with a home built interior with built in bed. Great presentation Wally, you really know the product. And all done in one take with zero edits..nice job. Also great camera work! Yes, I want one.!!
Wally is an Awesome presenter ! Loved this on the Winnebago. He know's his stuff!
Wally is close to an MI, Myocardial infarction. Get this Great Guy on some medications so he doesn't stroke out/MI out.
Give the Guy some serious time off. Love Him, Care for Him Winnebago. He's done good for your Company, but is not going to be around much longer.
Keep your Best Employees like Wally! Sometimes, they need some help due to 'life'.
No Judgment. Just help this Man along. We LOVE HIM.
I'm looking at a new Winnebago thanks to him. Seriously. Guy knows his Stuff. I'd trust Him over any marketing BS any day.
Cheers!
Guy was definitely breathin hard....
I was waiting for him to cough up a heart valve during the presentation- sheesh!
I also am quite concerned for him after viewing the video. I hope he’ll take this comment constructively to reduce weight under proper medical supervision.
Yes, take care Wally. Great video: Super Juice Me by Jason Vale. Also, Fat Sick and Nearly Dead- I and II. I got on juice diet and really lost weight.
Asthma
Oh, and I really like the entry door (and all the other various doors). Insulated, solid and secure entry door is vitally important for safety and security. The all wheel drive and ten speed auto transmission sounds nifty!
That bathroom design is truly ingenious- this architect approves!!! Very cool RV
Winnebago really got it right for those wanting a fully equipped motor home that is somewhat compact. Being able to go off grid is a very attractive option. With extra propane and being frugal with water besides bottle water, you could stay out for more than a week. With the electrical capacities being what they are, you have all conveniences at your fingertips and still be out in the sticks. This looks heavy duty and a retired elderly couple like us could travel year round regardless of the weather. One thing though, Wally is a pretty big man and it looked like he would have trouble using the bathroom. I am not poking fun at him as I am not a Slim Jim either. I am impressed with this model and have to see that the better half watches this video.
I love the wet dry bath innovation. I've seen that in euro vans. Glad it's now available in the US.
you had me at the shower....now I'll go camping ...lol
ya! That and the frig!!
Amazing piece that seems to have almost everything that one needs in an RV! The swirling passenger seat is awesome; but the swirling wash basin unit is indeed a surprise!Crisp video tour! 👏
I’m 68 and remember winnebagos in the 1970’s. They’ve come along way baby.
They are still poorly made
Wow...love that bathroom with the sink and shower inside. Smart design👍
This looks like it was inspired by some of the creative and popular ambulance conversions. People love converting ambulances because of the abundant storage that is accessible from the outside. Well done,
Honestly if I knew how to drive and my body wasn’t riddled with diseases, having a comprehensive motorhome with my nomadic spirit, living on the highway would’ve been my lifestyle! This Winnebago is a dream and it isn’t overly big and basically has everything you need
This man is charming. I like the swivel shower feature - really cool that you keep yourself from showering over a toilet, which always seems kind of weird to me. Also the option for a second outdoor kitchen is pretty cool.
Ford needs to see if they can engineer the Powerboost Hybrid system, from the F150, onto this platform so that they can power the coach with it and integrate it better with camping and hybrid driving.
I sort of does. The alternator charges the house batteries when driving. Not sure if it will worked if parked (idle). I built my van (Promaster) and I have all the power I need between solar and starting the van to charge the batteries.
Wally, shut up and take my money. Thanks for the detailed walk around.
Starting at $163,000!
@@jennnyandjeffs Gulp ....
This man can persuade me to buy anything.
Great tour, great detail, and good pacing. These can get boring sometimes. Lol. I absolutely love this RV!
We love the cassette toilet, we have 1 on ours.
How about explaining it in better detail than this guy did. At this point it sounds a lot less than wonderful.
@@seniorchief79tlc sure no problem, my wife and I have had several campers over the last 30 plus years. With the cassette toilet you don't have dump your black tank into a dump station. You can wheel it to the bathroom and empty it out. You also don't have to either unset up camp and wait in line to use the dump.
@@seniorchief79tlc Also, you don't have to worry about draining shit out in cold weather. And you won't be carrying around 20+ gallons of shit. You dump it out frequently in a bathroom. It's gross either way, but the cassette toilet is just one option to consider.
Looks like Wally doesn't miss too many meals. Nice preview tour, thanks.
Man, I like Wally, he really knows his stuff, knows how he can impress a customer, and above all, he knows the right way to say ruff!
Who else is high af watching this rn
Shieet... I dream of a mini van that got a 4x4 grow area, shieet.
What do you want to bet this nice gentleman played a mean game of football in his day. Thanks for a super tour!
Lol
sure....?
Love that bathroom. Well done. Nice design
They're pricing these at $163k! That is insane, I would not pay $100k for this.
Then I guess you won't be buying a new one. Everyone thinks they can do it for much less. Nope, you can't, not the same level. If you think these are expensive, check out Advanced RV. They are twice the quality but not twice the price. Still, you need to be a millionaire to buy one.
I just built one for $50,000 with a giant Glass shower and 4 foot skylight. With many other things that don't come with these over priced mobile homes.
I would only pay $15000 for it and being costumized to my taste ,otherwise i would rather buy a more luxury much bigger second hand rv for that price.
Other people Would pay that much because that's what they Need!
Well done tour. That garage is the bomb! Wet/ dry bath pretty slick too. If this rig was 4x4 and about 10" higher off the ground it would be THE ONE.
It’s gorgeous. I plan to purchase a small rv when I retire. About 15 more years. Definitely will keep this brand in mind.
Great, no nonsense presentation. And they have thought of everything.
I would have loved to have the woman do the presentation. The man was even gasping for air as he spoke
This was a great presentation. Thank you. I don’t think I could live without a slide though.
Cool coach, it's very compact, I wouldn't want to live in one of these because of cabin fever, but for a few day it would be good. Very basic, however
the thicker exterior walls is a big plus, big time. It was concerning that he had trouble breathing I hope he's okay. Thank you for the tour.
Came to check out the new EKKO. Stayed for the great presentation by Wally!
Nicely built! Love the design and especially the bathroom. Had a wet bath before so I love the swivel of the sink for shower design. Only thing I'd like as an idea was how we had a split fridge and freezer in ours, the separate freezer works great to protect your food or ice cream for the summer months! 😉
In the very north of Georgia, there is a campground that caters to Winnebagos. Some of the permanently parked Winnies provide a historically accurate evolution of the brand while new units provide updates. Its worth a drive-thru whether you are an ardent camper or just curious. TOP OF Georgia, a tribute to Winnies.
This beats the heck out of camping in a tent.
Very nicely presented! Thank you sir. And I like it!
If the msrp would have been given out we’d have time to prepare for the shock or not probably not !!
Love it, but the lack of a black tank is a deal breaker for me. The cassette toilet holds zero appeal to me.
This gentleman knows this rig. Great video on an amazing RV. Wet bath really cool design.
Very nice EXCEPT for no black tank. Big limitation for time at site. Brilliant B/R design.
Has a removable cassette toilet so no need for a black tank
@@patrickio8084 unless you want to camp out for more than a few days. You didn't respond to what I wrote. DERP
Space under bed needs perfecting. Restroom was the best commodity. You should make a video for new adventurers on how to use the 🔋 or different problems that you may face owning one.
Absolutely Love it. , Would be perfect for an older couple to travel anywhere . Great design W !🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm half of an older couple, don't like camping but this could change my mind, even if I only driveway camp!
I must be old now because I really want one of these
im 30 and I want these, am I..... old??? 😩 I didnt think OP was a nice thing to say.
Thanks Wally - great tour!
Enjoyed the tour, I hope there is an option besides red counter tops, thank you Wally...take care of yourself.
"take care of yourself" PLEASE LOSE WEIGHT TO SAVE YOUR LIFE
Oh Please please see to your health, please. I sincerely am concerned for you.
I, too, was shocked at the red countertop. It harkens back to the 1950's. Yuk!
That's a nice freaking coach baby!! Yeah!!
Great presentation!
Looks like Winnebago did their homework, and it looks like a winner to me
A Winner-Bago? ;)
I think the bathroom is genius
yup but needs a bigger black tank.
@@WestShoreMan - NONE of the units this size have large holding tanks, at least none I’ve seen. But yes, the shower, a European design I believe, is awesome!
I've see people recommend a wooden slat floor mat for the bathroom... in case having a wet floor (from the shower bothers you). Not sure if it will fit with that swinging basin wall.
The only thing I’d want added is an exterior hose in the compartment where the toilet is, so you can rinse it out once you empty it. I’m guessing they’ll have some way to do that but I didn’t see it.
@@lkayh - There are bathroom faucets made like a kitchen sprayer, with pull out faucet sprayers. You would have to shop and look at the deets to see each model was long enough to reach the John. Instant bidet. LOL!
Thank you for the walk through. They are making progress with the bathrooms. Someday they will catch up with the size adults actually are and make one comfortable. One less closet to make a larger toilet and shower area would be a good option.
Husband and I have owned many RVs , but the Winebago is the very best , our Brave was first and my favorite, This is a sure winner In my book. Cant wait to drive one 💙
I like this motorhome. For my needs this is a contender for the final decision. Now I need to go research and find the specs. Thank you.
So, I was kind like "meh." Then he demoed the wet/dry bath. I am absolutely feeling that!
What ???.......is that English???
What? You mean you didn't understand it? It was perfectly clear to me.
Pretty nice work Winnebago and an informative walk through by Wally. Wally put a smile on my face as his girth made the EKKO look small on the outside with a generous interior.
Agreed
Best I've seen so far. I'd get this in a heartbeat.
Absolutely love this motor home. Great informative tour. The only thing I find offsetting is lacking details, especially for the price. Table should have cup holders. Spice cabinet should be on the wall near sink. Waste paper basket should be included. Missing so many details to put this beauty over the top. PS. Why of why do makers not make the sink cover a cutting board? No one does that and they should consider it.
All great ideas!!
Love the bathroom.
Great video. The shower is fantastic.
Beautiful RV
Winnies are really nice. Cool bathroom setup.
