**** UPDATE *** After 14 days in the shop the tech found that was the Balmar Regulator that was fried. They installed a replacement.

I never did a detailed walkthrough on my Storyteller MODE LT because I know something will break. I want to be the one to try and fix it for future reference. Besides, I did my FULL research on the Storyteller Overland Company itself. The quality built was great. No major repair so far - just a microwave replacement.

The Balmer controller looks to be exposed in the engine compartment. 😳 That means it’s getting wet as you drive, this is not good!

We got our EKKO in December. Like yours, our second alternator did not charge our house battery. That coupled with the shower recall, a dining room window that won't lock open, and a step that won't work, and a table that was water warped, we have adjusted OUR schedules around the fixes. It's been until just now, May, that Winnebago has FINALLY sent out the parts to fix the shower so basically we bought the van without a bathroom. I guess Wini is more interested in getting the FUTURE sales out the door instead of using those parts to service the current sales. That tells me something about this company. On the plus side, we can use our motorhome year round in Minnesota and did when it -35 (that is correct, minus 35) this past winter. So fun.

The EKKO has great promise but, in my opinion, was rushed to market with insufficient testing. I’m so sorry to hear so many owners are having issues. The music tells the story….

Hello! thanks for your video, we are thinking about to make a reservation for the EKKO... so watching every video available. Question not related to your subject. The generator I saw in your video says Onan QG 2800i, Is made by Cummins (so definitely awesome quality) but on specs of Winnebago I read that the generator is LP. but in your video it doesnt say LP at it should for the LP model of the QG series. So want to confirm, is it LP? or is Gas? and somehow it takes the gas from the van tank. Thanks!!

The generator is a gas generator. It’s surprisingly quiet. It uses gas from the van.

@@acamilop awesome! thanks for the reply. Yeah I supposed that they will get a line of fuel from the van. Same generator but running on LP (exactly same engine, just a regulator) normally runs on more RPM, because it has less hp from the LP explosion. BUT, i have an LP generator and has almost no maintenance. I had a gas generator that I used then didnt clean enough and didnt start again 6 month latter, I had to replace the carburator. I dont want to deal with that. But sure Cumming brand will do the stuff right. Thanks again!

I have both. We weren't supposed to get our EKKO until late 2022 but it came in early and I had already picked up the Revel for the summer. I have the Revel as a rental and it its doing pretty well for the Summer. I will put it up for sale once the market settles.

@@larryboldt4762 Some dealers do but that's like asking the fox to guard the hen house. Hire your own and be there when you hire your own certified RV Inspector to do a Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI) while recording it on your phone. You'll learn so much and don't accept delivery until every issue is fixed and confirmed by a follow up inspection with the Inspector.
