New @WinnebagoRVs EKKO Sprinter and Redesigned Revel
Well greetings from the 2024 Florida RV Super Show in Tampa Florida State Fairgrounds and now we are at the motorized section of Wago and this is the echo as you remember the echo is probably one of the most you know popular class C’s they’ve had H for the
Past two years or so two or 3 years but now they’re also building it on a sprinter chassis not any Sprinter chassis this is the 4×4 Sprinter chassis in fact it’s a little higher clearance than the original Echo and there are several differences uh which we’re going
To show you inside it’s a little bit longer I believe she he they told me it’s uh 18 in longer just longer wheel base and um and the the garage in the back is a is a little uh larger but you know a lot of cool things here about um about the
Echo I really like the echo I like the fact that it is for season it’s all all super ice insulated there’s no Plumbing outside in fact it uses a cassette toilet and not a black tank for that very reason um I like the fact that they
Do have and uh here we go the propane tanks it’s it’s actually I think this approach more in Europe than than in here um in fact when you once you walk inside it kind of has the the the European style floor plan H you have removable you know your
Just your regular 20 lb propane tanks which are very cool here’s storage and that’s the one of the few differences between this and the Ford Transit version the Ford Transit does have a um a an outside kitchen option for here which we don’t have on this one um power
Outlets and what would would this be a cable and a 12v B hm all right here we go uh this is very cool this is of course that a Mercedes cockpit you know it has all the all the modern safety features like um you know L keep assist all that all
The good stuff uh here we have an Insignia TV up there which I mean it’s not the probably probably not the best place for it but it’s a good compromise they have this area here that you can configure and I’m not going to do it
Right now but you can configure it for a a sitting forward position or this kind of sofa position the the the the transit Echo only had like a like a two person dinette here and this one if you put a lagoon table down there you know you have a great area to
Entertain some storage here in the front sound bar on the TV which is always good pretty big storage up there and and the storage up here and the storage up here and this is our our Command Center here we have a Xantrex H inverter I’m not sure whether this is the 200 or
300 uh I’ll have to ask I mean 2,000 or 3,000 but it’s probably 3 I mean this has um I believe h sold me 630 H amp hours of battery and that’s a a large lithionics battery just one um here we have all the all our
Controls and I believe this one has very flexible we have an induction cooktop here that you can put up there and uh when you don’t need the induction cooked up you can use this as a as prep area then you know drawers that one is for the cooktop but
You have drawers a little shallow but you can put plates and uh and Skillets and whatnot this one is a little deeper this one you have a lot of room down there for storage here we have on both sides this could be used as wardrobe closet or
Perhaps used as some other kind of uh and of course this is that a twin bed design this is very very typical of uh of European design because you have that huge garage under that part of the bed and then if you really want to have like
A large bed where you can even sleep you know uh east to west you could put more cushions and uh make it into a king bed storage up there I see USB I see 12 is this 12vt or is this USB yeah it’s 12vt that’s a diamond
Breed a lot of RVs and even cars like Starship doesn’t have a 12vt port I love these windows these are that dual paint window that that are awning style and they have several positions actually let me see if we can do it onehanded here this is something that I would love
To have in my next rig you know you can have it there or you can have it a little there or then all the way down and I believe that you could is this the one that you could just leave it cracked open yeah you could just leave it there and
It just remains cracked open for a little ventilation so that’s that’s a great feature right there I like these windows again very similar to the windows we had in the RV we rented in Europe a couple of years ago I can’t believe I forgot to show you the
Bathroom in the Echo that’s one of the the main things here the bathroom so let me show you and this bathroom it’s kind of a Transformer of sorts and it’s very similar to the bathroom you know it’s exactly the same as the bathroom in the
Other Echo we do not have a a a roof vent here but we do have a window for ventilation and the air conditioner and this is our uh our sink here this is to turn on your your water pump this is a cassette toilet because um this as this
Unit you especially for winter camping it’s a it’s good to have and as a Europe style if you ever want to export this unit you know take it for example to Europe or Australia or New Zealand that’s what they use everywhere in the world except North America they
Use cassette toilets so if you want to if you want to do international travel that is the way to go now where’s the shower you might ask oh where’s the shower but this is it is a Transformer bathroom you do this and you get you know
I’m sure it is it is stuck with something here but that is supposed to to stay there in place oh there’s a there was an extra step there you go and then this is your shower which is a pretty large shower you know out of sight out of mind you don’t get anything
Wet in the toilet or anything like that and then you know I’m six 610 I mean 610 I wish 510 and um and yeah this is the the bathroom in the Echo oxygenic shower I like that uh the refrigerator is uh whoops nor cold and I don’t know how to
Open it there here we go there’s uh the freezer I mean it’s on the narrow side but it’s uh it is a small classy after all so um yes let me see if we have any more more info out here this of course uh has all the all the options
For that sofa you so you know you you can do it in all kinds of configurations with the adjustable table with a regular table and uh and that’s it the 23b it’s 24 ft and 6 in of total length and of course I and uh that goes without saying you have the
The truma aqua go uh water heater and uh and there’s an option for having a a generator a propane generator or not having one this is another access to that big huge Garage in the back there’s the the Batwing awning on this side and um what do we have
Here okay this is your wet Bay and as you can see everything is sealed almost like feels like marine grade and um heated so um yeah this is uh this is a unit that you could take in cold weather as well as warm weather okay here’s that here’s that uh lithionics battery
It’s the same battery I have in the in my micromania and U they’re good what else can I show you here well let me show you another uh motorized unit because they have three three new floor plans here revolutionary floor plants and one of them is on the the rebel but
It’s not this Rebel it is that Rebel so I’m going to check it out stay wild here we have the new the brand new Wago reavel well I did speak with the experts and now we know a little more about the Revel and you know
The Revel has been that I mean it says there stay wild it’s it’s been the adventure Class B 4×4 by wanago and it they it they viewed a couple of years ago and um and they’ve improved it over the years like this year they have several improvements like if they put
Lights there I mean if you’re going off-roading in the middle of the Desert and by any reason it’s you get caught in the in the night time you want to have lights you want to have nice LED lights to illuminate they improve the the the roof racks that’s one of the things that
They told me they had improved one of the big improvements is the the fresh waterer tank which was uh I believe 25 or 20 it wasn’t the 20s it is now 35 gallons and um they made this a little narrower but now you have that and you
Have Dwayne here making sure I’m not saying any lies sorry we have the option of one or two 320 amp hour batteries and um some of the other improvements they made you know better insulation uh I think she told me this like three 3M laser cut that is like you I mean you
Can take it down to -5° or somewhere it you can take it in the cold weather and you’ll be fine I mean don’t take it to Alaska and winter I wouldn’t I would I wouldn’t go to Alaska and winter to begin with that’s a privacy let me go
Inside let me show you inside uh what we have okay stepping inside here pull down table you know to entertain outside um here we have a fresh tank drain fresh water drain and a well three drains um they they improved this table they was used to be a little smaller so now I
Mean it’s it’s not the most sturdy thing I wouldn’t put two monitors there with it for you to work but let’s face it this is a very small unit this is an adventure mobile I don’t think you want to be like um you know I I wouldn’t
Probably be doing too much working here just having fun and taking it out there you in the middle of the desert the the dec they changed a little bit there’s a little storage up here this um sits uh you can U by pulling here you can
Separate them a little and um here we have a huge counter space I mean for a class B of this size this is the small 4×4 mercedesbenz and you unlock the drawers like this and then you open it up and here we have a location to store the
Induction cooked up which is there as you can see and we Al we also have a cutting board so that’s great here of course a little bit on the narrow side but it is I meaning it it is a sprinter and the Sprinter chassis tends to be a
Little narrow this is where you can lock or unlock your bathroom door and this is a wet bath cassette toilet there standard cassette toilet and um yeah you have a you can you can this can double up as as a closet as a bathroom as a uh you know storage whatever you want
Here’s a little she did it so easily there we go for a little more privacy I mean if you’re going to leave with someone in this small space I mean privacy would be the least of your concerns but if you do you know if you’re modest here’s a small mirror I
Would like to see a slightly larger mirror for for those vertically challenged but uh it’s very nice here’s this privacy curtain that you can uh can put up and I don’t know exactly how to do it but I’m sure there’s a way to put put it out of the way and here’s our
Bed and I think I don’t I’m not sure but I think Wabo may have been one of the first who cut out and made that bump you know bulging out on the Sprinter chassis so you could sleep East West because the Sprinter chassis is a great chassis but
One of the things that that may be a negative of the Sprinter chassis is that is narrow is much narrower than the Ram or the transit I mean not a lot narrower but it’s a little narrower So Soft closing drawers beautiful again USBS both type c and type
A not type A H the capital of Taiwan but Type A here we have a little bit of storage down there and now hold on this curtaining is getting on my nerves give me a second here it’s rather windy in Tampa today it’s rather windy and uh small sink here I think it
It is huge that 35 fresh water tank H in a class B I think um that is used so that’s it that’s it for wanago motorized the new Revel 44e it’s only 19 ft 7 in long so you can park this anywhere from the Florida RV Super Show 2024 everybody thank you so
Much for watching and see you on the Road I’m riding riding in my RV

First!
They call the new one a Sprekko!
Robert, when are you getting a van???
Lagoon table reminds me of Gillian’s Island.
What’s the propane used for?
Why is the awning on the wrong side?
How about prices? Probably more than my house cost.
propane is for the heat hot water and the genny
Robert did you see a show price for the new ekko
Just watched the video on the view 24T. Was there another layout?
What about those windows & lots of mosquitoes on the 23B?
Congratulations on marking it to the show 👏 👍🎥 will you be letting us know all the show prices this year?
It’s an all-wheel drive, not a 4×4. There is a difference between the two.
Laughing that EKKOs have coax cable TV outlet and not an RJ45 outlet for a CAT5. Coax is sooo yesterday.
Can you still get the echo in the ford chassis? Please tour the Roadtrek pivot slumber (pop top) if it’s there. Thanks
tell us how reliable it is. And have you hard of LITSIGNAL Mr Morales.
Echo vs winnebago?
Good good Just no a/c. And this is bad. Veeery bad!!!!
That's a sweet ride.
Hola Beto
Man, I wish I could afford one…
RV’s are sure interesting and very nice to camp/live in. Love seeing different ones 😀
Question which is it NEW or Improved ????
Why would they move away from the eco-boost?
It would be so difficult to choose which I liked best if I had the money! lol But one thing for sure, with the arthritis in my knees, I'd' definitely want one with the railing by the steps. BTW, you are right that porcelain is best ~ Mr. Crapper would be very proud of you!😃 Happy Trails buddy!
You should check out the Coachmen Freelander/Cross Trails 22XGs, huge garage with big rear entry door that has a folding murphy bed, full bath, about a foot longer and 6 inches wider that the B+s, but a ClassC E450 chassis with all the towing capability for half the price of some of the B+s
Well done, thank you!✌️
Would like to see a screen on the back windows…
I like the fridge high up like that. In my camper van I’m bending down to my tiny dorm room looking 12v. I’m looking to upgrade to a larger vehicle. I like the revel, but I want the rear seat looking out the sliding door. Thor has a new floor plan like that, so I want to check that out.
