I honestly can't believe the contrast in quality compared to my seven month old Thor rig. Yesterday I put in my order for my Ekko from Lichtsinn. Renae is my salesperson, and this also is 180 degree deference from LaMesa out here in California. What a helpful , knowledgeable nice lady to deal with. The fit and finish in this unit is absolutely amazing. Also, its easy to see why Lichtsinn is the number one Winnebago dealer in the nation. What awesome people. Its going to be a long wait to get my unit, and I'll be selling my Thor when its getting closer to taking delivery. Really wish I would have purchased the Ekko to begin with.
This is my dream RV. Other RVs might have the storage that Ekko has but none of them are 4-season. This will be able to handle Death Valley in the summer (though I wouldn’t be able to) and ski trips because of the insulation and no exposed holding tanks or water lines.
Great! I have something similar (in size, with a Ford Diesel front end)..a Thor Gemini. But I WISH I had a rear"hatch" that I could use if I need to insert a kayak or long lengths of lumber. The one MAIN disadvantage of these B+ campers compared to "walk through aisle" B's, is the inability to pack long things from the back. That washroom/shower is GENIUS! My ONLY problem: The MSRP is THREE TIMES what I paid for my new Gemini! (165K! Wow!). Not sure about the Ford Gasoline engine...but my For Turbo Diesel is amazing for power. And the Ford suspension cannot be matched!
It's our dream RV too! He didn't mention the little light on the door of the shore power plug cover (go to 19:25), it lights when power is correctly connected (did you switch on the 20A circuit breaker instead of the 30A? Now you'll know without going all the way around the coach and walking inside to check the panels. Smart.)
Good morning! Thank you for your note! The angle of the twin bed on the patio side is clipped to allow for more walk way and taken out of the flex bed measurement. Hope this helps!

Please do a walkthrough of the **24C** as soon as you get it and make sure to tell if its 4x2 or 4x4 and any battery and solar upgrades that can be done on it. thanks.
Good morning Michael! Thanks for your note... absolutely we will do a similar walkthrough when we can access the 24C slide out floor plan. The power train and safety features will be identical, and everything rearward of the twin bed setup will also be identical to the 22A. The lithium setup will also be the same and expandable here at our dealership. Hope this helps!
Good afternoon Michael! 455 watts will be standard which in essence max’s out the solar controller... we could look to add more, but the stronger charge would come off of running the engine or the generator, if equipped and not deleted... you can order the EKKO with a single lithium and generator and then having us add the second lithium. Hope this helps!
Good afternoon Gregory! That is not the lowest point and we could raise if it's a concern for you... ground height clearance is 6.5-7" which is the shackle on the suspension. Hope this helps!

Good morning! Thank you for your note! While we have not yet seen one without the roof rack, we do believe they will be mounted within the roof, which is the direction Winnebago is headed on future builds of most if not all models where possible.
Hello team, is the lithium system compatible with adding a third battery (generator delete with the two lithium battery package, plus one more of the same battery installed by the dealership or after market)? Looking forward to your quick response
I have 2 questions. Can the air conditioner system run directly off the inverter ? How ling does it take to fully recharge the 2 lithium batteries using the secondary alternator ?
Good morning! Thank you for your note! Yes, you can power the AC directly off the inverter... in fact, look later this week for upcoming video we are finalizing last week in which we put AC run time to the test. In terms of recharge, it will depend a bit on idle (approximately 100 amp charge) vs highway speeds (approximately a 170 amp charge), but a couple hours is a good range for recharging the Lithionics batteries. Hope this helps!
Is it safe to assume that all of the lights, the fridge, the water pump, the igniter and fan for the Truma heat, and the usb/12 v outlets are directly connected to the 12 v system, rather than requiring the inverter?
Good morning Susanne! Thanks for your note! Yes, you are exactly correct... and all you mentioned will really use a trivial amount of amperage on the lithium. Hope this helps!
Good morning Chutney! Thank you for your note! Final occupant and cargo carrying capacity will be driven by final content of options, but on the standard configuration we estimate OCCC to be approximately 1,500 lb. Hope this helps!
