Winnebago EKKO

OK, we actually got to drive one of the Sprinter Ekko units last week. It was at a La Mesa dealer in Stuart FL. Not sure whether it is really a production unit, or one of the prototypes, but the dealer offered to sell it to us for $178,000. Had about 1,500 miles on the ODO. Overall, it looks a bit more off-road worthy than the Transit models. The longer beds are nice for a 6'+ person and the layout of the dinette area is quite a bit better. It drove fine on our short drive. We only got up to about 70, but it seemed stable and quiet. Not a race car, but adequate power and the brakes felt good also. At half the price of anything like the Terranova, or the Rossmonster Baja and really less than most of the Sprinter Vans from Storyteller, etc. it may be an option if you don't need real offroad.
1500 mi is the delivery from Iowa to FL.

Was this layout the one with the seats that face each other. Did you sit in them? My kids wouldn't be able to do the floor plan with the seats right next to each other. It would be constant bickering if they accidentally touched elbows or something.
