You both hit and missed a feature in the Ekko! The extra "media table" can also be popped up and used to give extra counter space when you're having to use the stove/sink area! 💫 If you guys want to see an AMAZING Travel Van/RV you need to do a tour in the 'Leisure Travel Vans' " Wonder REAR LOUNGE" Travel Van!!! (Or the step up in trim level to the Unity rear lounge!) It has a hidden full sized Murphy Bed in the back that flips up out of the way (so you never have to make the bed!) and give you a couch, more storage, TV, and lounge area in the back to double your usable space because the bed isn't taking any room up! PLUS the Wonder is about $50,000 LESS than the Ekko with a Hella lot more features like, for example, the large refrigerator has a door that can open either direction so it doesn't matter which you are standing on you can get in it when someone is on standing on the other side and not be in their way, and a bathroom door that can close off the bedroom/lounge area of the van from the front so you can change clothes/shower etc with guests inside your van and they can't see you naked!

The bathroom was very cool, but the bedroom was actually the most interesting part to me. I really liked the bed arrangement because its perfect for a pair of friends who enjoy travelling together but don't necessarily want to share a bed. Most vans and RVs are designed with couples in mind, or sometimes a couple with a kid, but nobody ever considers that maybe you just wanna travel with your best friend. The only thing that would make it even better is if the beds could be (separately) curtained off for privacy.

What a great video. I love that you really showed the comparison between doing it yourself, and where the money goes in a higher priced vehicle. Thank you for showing that difference. For all of us, in doubt as to whether we could get a better deal if we do it ourselves. This really shows a good point of view. Thanks.

I'm guessing others have already stated this, but that extra "media" table can also be used as extra counter space. It swings over to cover the door and extends the counter space. I think this would be a great vehicle (except for the price of course) for people that live on the road full time. Especially for the ones that like to do cold weather areas like you all just did.

@codeman99-dev

Except for the price? What exactly is your price target for something with full time considerations? A nice fifth wheel trailer is over $100k now. Then add in the truck, dual registration, and dual insurance. While I can't argue the price is fantastic, I can argue that I can see where the money was spent. A nice base platform: check. Above average insulation: check. Huge battery capacity: check. Good solar setup: check. A fifth wheel checks none of those boxes. I promise. Even the nice ones. Good solar is done by a very limited set of companies. The rest throw a single panel up there, a cheap controller, and call it a day. Many don't provide *any* battery. The batteries alone are $4,500 *each*.

I love the Ekko so much and is the one vehicle that has me thinking van life might be in my future! Kara, I just have to point out that microwave ovens and the food cooked in them are not unsafe... any more than other cooking appliances. If you have broken equipment, it could be an issue, so could not cooking the food all the way through. Food doesn't become radioactive, as there are no microwaves left in the food, once the oven is turned off. Microwaves are just light and therefore a carrier of energy. The myths that grew out of scared housewives of the late 70s still doing the work today 🤣

@@KitchenWitchery My family actually got a microwave in about 1977. It was HUGE with massive dials on it!! There weren't inherent issues with them necessarily... but plenty of issues with people misusing or misunderstanding them or faulty parts, making them dangerous. They were such a huge investment back then that you would actually take them for repair. I remember my dad (who was an electrical engineer) noticing the door wasn't latching properly, so he took it in for repair right away. They basically replaced everything in the unit. We had that thing until the early 1990s! I am just always surprised that those fears live on today... which was my original point.

You guys are a massive inspiration! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the video. We really enjoy it,. We just saw that Ekko yesterday and we loved the bathroom too. The only thing is that is "backorder" and you need to wait almost a year. But in any case is great. The antenna on the roof is for Digital tv, is not SAT, that lot of people normally think. Is just for digital antenna signals, so, as soon as you leave the city, you wont get anything. Engines. Diesel is always better, why? durability and range. But sometimes (specially during this difficult times for diesel, since government is pushing to limit the emissions just to kill diesel engines) lot of brands are just discontinuing the diesels, or at least the good ones, to prices are very high, like 10k on new vehicles just for the diesel engine. And you can save that money, leave it at the bank and then swap the entire gas engine when it dies. AWD, is not 4x4. Is better than 4x2 for sure, but is proven that is not even close as 4x4. Except for Subaru that they do magic. Still a good "some offroad" but the low clearance and the awd will just make it good for a little snow on road, but not a mid difficulty off-road trail. Still the price is very nice compared to other options, but they made the difference using a ford gas chasis, that cost 40k or less than a mercedes, and is way more easier to find. This is the last year for mercedes for the v6 diesel, and 4x4 on their vans, sad but true, the will come with the smaller engine and awd in the future. Because emission limitations they dont want to deal with that, so the downsize the engine, and with that is not powerfull enought for a 4x4 (more moving parts plus the transfer case, takes away more HP than awd ford systems,) We are thinking to do the van ourselves, or buy one old. or a pick up camper. Right now the market is switching from the crazy prices and no availability of the 2021, to the "there are too many trailers for sale". So, the prices of new still high (our TT Lance 1985 is 75k) but the trade in price is by table, so they want to pay for our 2020 1985, 20k. So definitely not a good time to buy new. Since this 170k van, when is ready (in a year) will cost 150k, just when you receive it, and then next year will be 70 or less. In any case we love your videos and enjoy every second of them

I was wondering about that, they must have thought something

When Kara was counting the number of outlets in the Echo my brain switched into flashback mode when she was counting all of the outside freezers around the New Braunfels TX location of Buc-ee's.

I loved this video and I can say excluding all the diy VANS, this is the best deal I've seen. And the bath design is perfect!!!

I absolutely love the video of the Winnebago Ekko that you got to try out to show us as well. I can agree with you Kara, The first outdoor storage compartment, I'd just leave it as storage. I wouldn't put any fixed outdoor kitchen equipment in it. However, I would probably have a folding table and a camp stove, along with a couple camping chairs inside of that storage if I lived in it full time. I can agree I'd want the ability to maybe roast a marshmallow outside. But my whole thing is, I wouldn't want something like that taking up SO MUCH room. To spend time outdoors would be excellent. and to have some equipment to do so would be fantastic. Like a picnic blanket or two even. I love the shower configuration. I think that's so neat how it moves. The price was right for your van Kara and Nate. It's always nice to explore what is being made today, and I can understand that you always underwhelm your van when you make these comparison videos, but you always have to give and take, with everything in life really. The idea is you still have an amazing van with a shower, sink, toilet, bed, seating area, kitchen, etc. And it's self contained and it is off the grid capabilities. So I mean, I know there are things left to be desired. The Ekko does seem to be a VERY nice vehicle. Actually more affordable than a Earthroamer. To think the cost of that Winnebago Ekko costs about as much as my parents house costed that they bought in 2005, that's insane. It's amazing to think though that it's a house that you can move down the road, wherever you wanted to move to, to be honest.

I have fell in love with this channel in the past few months, honestly some of the best vloggers/video makers on the platform. I can't stress this enough, EVERYTHING FLOWS! Ty you make my days a little brighter each day!

You know, I've been going through your past travels. I recently watched your video on the Trans-Siberian Railroad. I saw you stay in a Bedouin dwelling in the middle of the desert on the Arabian Peninsula. Those videos were wonderful--they had heart and soul and a sense of wonder. Presumably, you don't care about those old videos anymore, because a lot of them only have two or three hundred thousand views, so obviously that content is no longer worth your time. This video is supposed to be showing your lives (It's one of your hashtags! #vanLIFE). Instead, you fast forward through an evening of LIVING in about 40 seconds, with the other 26 minutes of the video being an ad for this supercamper (oh, with a minute-and-a-half ad for your company mixed in). And this is the second consecutive video that was nothing but a straight-up advertisement (the "$1.5M treehouse"). And I've loved a number of the videos you've made of funky/cool places to stay (the places in Norway, one of the lodges in Africa was beautiful, even something luxurious like a solar-powered yacht). And you did tours of most/all of these places, but it was usually 5-15 seconds per room (not 20 minutes on the whole place). And then we saw you LIVING in these awesome spaces. It's great for you that you've racked up over half-a-million views in a couple of days on this video, but that's not why I'm here. I wasn't here for the social media influencers. I was here for the travel vloggers. But you've changed--that's certainly your prerogative. But it means I'm out. You probably don't care, because the #ads and the invented physical challenges get you the 7-figure views you covet. But there's an ever-dwindling segment of your audience that was drawn to you by your exploration of the world. You're losing them in favor of your new soulless social media personas. You know what my favorite recent video of yours is? Nate's Grandpa's Van-Life video. He seems like a wonderful man, and your interactions (especially yours, Nate) were absolutely wonderful. I loved that video because of the humanity we saw in it--even the van had character! A lot of that is gone now. (If you are one who likes Kara & Nate's new social media personas, do me a favor and don't @ me.)

I love that the cilantro song has been making frequent appearances in your videos recently 🤣 Also your van videos make me want to move my family into a van and travel the country!

I actually love it when you guys try out other options of home on wheels and give reviews! Very interesting and helpful. Can you guys try the Leisure Unity corner bed?

Wow! 622k views!! Keep on rocking these awesome videos @KaraandNate! I’ve been watching from the beginning and I’m almost finished with your year 2 Latin America trips.

I have never been interested in Van life or different RV’s and I get SO PUMPED whenever you guys stay in a new vehicle and do a tour 😂

I always enjoy these comparison videos! The bathroom was definitely a cool layout and very functional🚿 Stay you ✌🏼

So I thought I would do van life, I was set on it. But then I forgot I would have to learn how to drive.

Kara, just have to say, you are adorable. I love your excitement and positivity. Nate you are a natural in front of the camera.. You both are. I watched you since the beginning and you have both come a long way. Keep on going forever.

Love your videos...Keep the van life going

Kara and Nate I love you guys so much you always bring me joy when you post. When you do adventure videos it pushes me to try harder. I doubt you’ll see this but if you do thank you Pin?

17:27 I love how excited Kara seems when she thinks about making her friends sleep in the trunk if they had that van 😅😂

Whoah. That bathroom is genius!!!! Excited to see where you go exploring in my neck of the woods! (LA 😊) Love watching you guys!!
