The brand-new Winnebago Ekko hitting the market for the 2021-2022 year is an exciting addition to the brand's Class C offerings. Boasting the capacity of a Class C motorhome but the efficiency of a Class B, it also includes all-wheel drive, creating a whole new type of RV.
The Ekko seamlessly combines luxury and efficient off-road features of a camper van, making it a great fit for campers who like to take the road less traveled but have a little more space.
A Class C RV is a class between A and B motorhomes. They are larger than the Class B, offering more interior living and storage space, but are smaller than the bus-like Class A, making them easier to park and maneuver.
Class Cs are easy to identify because of the over cab bunk. This space can be used for sleeping or storage when needed. The interior of a Class C typically offers a kitchen, designated dining and living areas, private bedroom and bathroom.
