2025 Mercedes Ekko Vs. 2024 Entegra Condor Ford Transit (which one would you pick?)

[@merrymcpherson1685]

THE FROLI SLEEP SYSTEM !!! They are awesome and made for air-flow -- I would pick the Ekko as well

[@Vancaskeys]

Thank you!! I just couldn't remember what it was called LOL!

[@vincecarluccio5018]

FYI. The EKKO uses propane for hot water and furnace heating system. The Condor uses the hydronic heating system which uses gasoline. The only reason the Condor has a propane tank is for an outside propane connection such as the outside stove or gas fire pit, etc. So, don’t need 2 tanks as in the EKKO. I think this is a much better design. BTW, the outdoor kitchens are options on both rigs.

[@JethroXP]

They showed the Sprinter based EKKO, the outdoor kitchen is only an option on the Transit Based EKKO.

[@ChopperChad]

Froli springs is what’s under the mattress. You can buy them and they’re not very expensive. Easy upgrade to any rig. Also, the Sprinter Ekko is 2.5” wider and 18” longer so it is bigger. My limit is 24’ because a few places I like to go have a 24’ motorhome max length limitation. The Sprinter Ekko is a no go for me for that reason. Some things to also consider is the reports of 1200.00 Mercedes routine service bills, a lack luster dealer network, complicated and finicky diesel emissions systems and B05 diesel fuel limitations.

[@Erica_Brenda]

As for one or the other? I like the Ford one better but the quality isn't there so I would still just buy the van and build it myself. But I like watching your videos and getting ideas. In the end, I am going to get another Class C, not a van. Vans are just too small of a space and parking is not an issue for me. I think there is a lot more value in a Class C. and they aren't even close to as expensive as a van. Thank you for going to the trouble of making your videos. I know they are a lot of work and I do truly enjoy every one of them.

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks for sharing! We love hearing what others would do. Vans are small. So many pros and cons. We love the convenience of them but they are small and we both would love a little more room. Small Class C’s seem like the better option but in the end it does depend on each persons needs. Anyways, Can’t wait to hear what you end up getting!

[@mikemanjo2458]

If money was not a factor, i would pick the Ekko as well.❤ Ford chasis!

I think other than the Mercedes chassis, beds 4 inch longer, center ducted air, higher clearance, it's 8" longer giving more seats & (convertible) extra bed. and slightly bigger garage. 😉

When the Ekko first came out I wasn’t a fan. But now I would take the Ekko hands down.

Hi Teri! So fun meeting you both! Really enjoyed getting to know you guys. When do you guys get to pick up your Ekko? We are so excited for you!

I agree with you on the Ekko, however the shower in the Condor is very smart. Enjoyed the fun review!

[@Vancaskeys]

Agree 💯 with you!

[@13redwoodlaneusa7]

I like that the Ford offers four wheel drive. It can be a God send sometimes. You didn’t mention if the Ekko was a 4x4. The water capacity is a big deal for us as we tend to stay out in the boonies. Although I am a Ford man, you can’t go wrong with a Mercedes. I am blown away by the price. Great video, you guys did an awesome job. We almost went to that show too.

[@lorih4392]

It also fits in to top drawer to make a countertop extention.

[@Vancaskeys]

No way?!? Very cool!

[@bramdasu6431]

We like the Condor mostly because of the length. However both are pretty long for our purposes. Also, why 50 gallon water tanks and 4 gallon cassette toilet? I would have preferred they take up one of those dinky little storage spaces on the driver's side with a 20 gallon black tank. Overall thanks for the really cool reviews. Simply amazing

[@cmtaylor531]

It would have been better if they just did a composting toilet and leave me that 50 fresh so I can boondock. Stop being afraid of the compost toilet. It’s better than cassette and black tank. Cassette is the absolute worst.

I know I write a lot of smaller comments, but I do that for you. It helps with your algorithm in that more comments equals more popularity, equals more recommendations from the algorithm to others to see your videos. I also try to touch each of the URLs you put on these, in case you get some sort of kickback from those, as well. And besides, I found a few things I have added to my shopping list from these recommendations. :) so, win/win! hehehe

[@Vancaskeys]

Wow Erica! This is so sweet of you! You are a 💯 spot on! Thank you so much! 😊

[@user-dr2js7bv2i]

I heard that the air flow system under the mattress is to keep mold from growing on the mattress. Essential from what I've heard. Both are nice vehicles.

[@markp.7165]

I like your down to earth approach with the RVs and the cost as well. Too many RV folks on KZbin act like money grows on trees and that just isn't how I roll. I always look for value which means usually not the cheapest item but also not the most expensive. Safe travels my friends!!

[@anthonyb2334]

I have a 30’ Winnebago class A. Small for a class A but BIG compared to the EKKO. I was at Winnebago for service, did the tour, watched them building the EKKO and spoke to a number of EKKO owners. Very impressed with the EKKO. Except the price. For us, we prefer the bathroom of the EKKO and the Mercedes chassis.The ac in the bedroom is nice for quick cool back there but is also louder when trying to sleep. Prices are pretty crazy on these, or B+ in general. We seriously were considering downsizing to a B+ but our present lifestyle fits better in the A. If only we could afford both! Excellent video. Thank you

[@svenhodaka9145]

We have a 23’ Winnebago Class A. (Model WCF23RC). Owned it for 18 yrs and still love it. A little TLC and maintenance each year and it is so comfortable and works so well. It fits in National Park campgrounds (

[@kenp4464]

Well done. I think this twin rear bed floorplan is a fav for many. Leisure Travel also makes a similar model. Be cool to review all similar options. Yeah, the prices are 70k more than they should be.

[@joecutro7318]

Thanks, Hillary and Bob! If I were to buy a B+, it would be the Ekko for sure. That bed system and ducted hvac. 👍🏼👍🏼 It just seemed more roomy overall. Not to mention the space saving fridge/shower combo! Quite the innovation. 🤔😉 Love the outtakes. 😅

[@Vancaskeys]

We agree! Thanks Joe!

[@thomasrichmond7017]

For LESS money you can get an Entegra Odyssey SE (Class C) on the E-450 chassis AND a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to be your toad for hitting the trails and driving into the city. (Or be your backup in case the RV breaks down.) More of a pain to drive, but you get a whole lot more capability, flexibility and convenience for less money. Not to mention you get a Rubicon out of the deal to enjoy when you're not RVing! But then again, if you're going to tow something, you might as well just get a travel trailer like the Winnebago Hike 100 FLX or Micro Minnie FLX and save some serious money. I know, this is about Class B and B+ RVs, but given their cost it's certainly worth considering alternatives. Most people would be FAR better off financially staying at motels and Air BnBs. And there's something to be said for traveling "light."

[@healeybob1]

You should add the Jayco Granite Ridge in this comparison as well.

[@thevagabondonwheels4918]

It is effectively identical to the Entegra. Basically the same rig from the same company.

[@AnthonyWilbanks-l5h]

The board in the drawer is to place the induction on when using. To protect the counter top.😊

We have been shopping for a full year to buy a new motorhome and looked at this one. Couple things we were concerned about is getting up in the middle of the night and falling down the steps in the dark. Our second concern we had was the windows are acrylic and after while they could end up with spider webbing scratches. The only thing I wasn't sure about is whether it has the new Mercedes 4 cylinder twin turbo with more horsepower and torque or the older 6 cylinder engine. We ended up ordering the new 2024 Tiffin Wayfarer RLW .Glad you're getting rid of Mr lemon

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Do you think you could put a car seat on either of those back seats? I feel like these RV's aren't really tailored for a family. I may be leaning towards a F550 / Dodge5500 DIY truck camper like a custom Hilt or something similar. I completely agree, why the need for a sink in the bathroom, I feel like it would never be used. Agreed the transit's bathroom more as well!

[@johntinglin7280]

It is not hygienic to perform your ablutions in the kitchen sink, where foodstuff and dinnerware are handled. That is why a separate bathroom sink is desirable!

[@Vancaskeys]

Hi guys! I am not sure about the car seat option. I would hope so. We have reached out the Storyteller to see if we can tour the Hilt...fingers crossed they let us! It does look like a great option!

[@dalenihiser7766]

You can see the better build quality of the Ekko over the Condor. Too bad you couldn't get that 2025 Ekko floorplan on the Ford chassis. One advantage of the Ford chassis is there are more Ford dealers coast to coast who can service it.

I'm surprised the Mercedes EKKO doesn't have an outdoor kitchen. It's an option on the Ford chassis model - and isn't the Mercedes a longer vehicle by a couple of feet? (If you look at The Fit RV channel when they bought the first EKKO off the assembly line, James and Stef opted for no outdoor kitchen and turned that space into a litter box for their cat Instead!)

[@dorothyburton6852]

I choose the Ekko also. now time to rent one and try it out.

[@MWILSON7]

Kwould it be possible to list the OCCC of each vehicle so we know how much cargo each RV can carry?

[@gary.joseph]

One thing I noticed that was not mentioned and not compared is the Cargo Carrying Capacities of each. Two very different chassis with similar builds but different in building materials and options. The CCC would be a huge factor for me on a comparison decision.

[@Erica_Brenda]

A sink in the bathroom is a waist of space. With out it, that shower would be so much more comfortable.

[@Vancaskeys]

Agree!

[@gailanncastellanos6400]

Check out the two videos on the EKKO transit and EKKO Mercedes from the FitRV. They have a Transit. But Mercedes wasn't available until now. There are a lot of differences. The Mercedes is longer overall. Good videos to compare.

[@johnmccool6875]

I believe the Ekko is wider. Just in looking at where the cab meets the body. That might be what makes the dining area more spacious.

[@JoshuaMartian-go3tm]

Min 19:39 I think that's for the portable, removable, collapsable sink ... I think.

[@angusmacdonald7193]

Very nice but how can you justify the cost over the 2024 Coachmen Cross Trail Extreme EV RV 20XG which seems to have better features. I do like the split beds and cassette toilet on the Ecco but can't get over the price. What would you recommend?

[@thevagabondonwheels4918]

Toured one of these and a Transit Ekko side-by-side at a dealer yesterday. I strongly prefer the Entegra to the Transit Ekko and, considering that the MSRPs of both are nearly identical, the Entegra is a much better buy from a features standpoint. My only big concern with the Entegra is them sacrificing a MaxxAir fan for that stupid skylight. Agree on the lounge, not comfortable and would need to be upgraded. Also, no three-point seatbelt for a rear passenger in the Entegra if you travel with more than one additional person. There is a carseat anchor, however.

[@thelovepug]

Hands down, EKKO! 👍🏻❤

[@Vancaskeys]

👏👏👏

[@dwoodygura]

Entegra is owned by Jayco which is owned by THOR. Enough said. While the interior colors are much better in the Condor and I like the outdoor kitchen I'd still have to go with the Ekko. We are current Winnebago Travato owners and love it.

[@michelleconcannon7584]

I’m a Winnebago girl but the Entegra is surprisingly nice. That being said, the cost of maintenance on the Mercedes will be more, if you aren’t doing it yourself. Both are too expensive 😮

Just rent unless you’re retired. Wife and I are just wrapping a two week multi state road trip in an LTV Wonder Corner Bed and it was awesome but the wife and I are good on that amount of driving and duration for a least two years. Quick weekend trips to Joshua tree or other local areas for sure in between the big trips like this one. It’s fun and amazing but also tiring and long. Renting is the best and you can switch up whatever type of rig you want depending on the place you’re going or time you’re traveling.

[@myohmy839]

Condor/Granite Ridge uses a Timberline Binar 5D hydronic heating system. The heat and hot water heater use gas from the chassis, not propane.

[@blackcatrose4257]

Id add a alt charger. Huge fan of Earthroamers set up. Totally self reliant.

[@sandydemars8100]

Our Froli sleep system is comfortable, but another thing that needed warranty work. We are careful with what blankets we tuck under the bed. The Froli gets caught on blankets, which will break the system. If I had the money and was choosing between the two, I would choose the Ekko. But. So far. For the money, I like the Coachman that you toured a couple weeks ago. I like the table to turn into a bed and the room in the garage and the stove not in a drawer. I don't have a cassette toilet and have never had one so I don't know if that would be good or not. Coachman has a regular toilet. I think this Ekko is so much more money because it's a diesel. So if you need and can afford a diesel, that probably isn't too bad a price. As diesels go.😊

[@tschwingle]

I agree, really like the features of the Coachman 20XG EV. Have been looking at Class B's for some time, but the extra space would be nice and the dual energy options of the 20XG are appealing, along with the price vs the B's that I have been looking at.

Hate the froli as it catches the sheets and bedspread in our Travato G model with the murphy bed. It was so bad Winnebago finally replaced it in the newer models with a sprung wood slat approach that still allows air flow under the mattress which was the major reason for the froli. Added comfort was second. The Ford Condor lacking air flow under the mattress sitting on the board will eventually create mold unless you buy an aftermarket solution to get air under the mattresses.

[@SteveUllrich-w5i]

The Mercedes Ekko is longer. A better side by side comparison would be the Ekko on the Ford Chassis. Ford Ekko is set up similar to the Condor dining area. Both models on the ford chassis offer the outdoor kitchen. You lose the outdoor kitchen because of door placement on the Mercedes Ekko. I think I saw that Condor is now being offered on the Mercedes chassis as well.

Who makes the Ford condor? Is that made by Winnebago? Isn't the Ekko a diesel vs. Ford being gas? I do not prefer the Mercedes because I do not like the location of the batteries located under the drivers side floorboards. Also, I've seen that they do not come with a dip stick to check your oil. You have to check it on the dashed. If it is a diesel, the oil changes are MUCH more expensive than the Ford. Mercedes = $$$. But the dinette was a lot nicer in the Mercedes. Either way, thanks for showing both. You both do an awesome job. I definitely would have bought the Mercedes if the shower was in the fridge. Keep those videos coming!!!
