We’ve all been there—a stunning campsite disrupted by a noisy generator spewing exhaust. There’s a better way. With advancements in solar and lithium battery technology, modern adventure vehicles can thrive off-grid without the noise, pollution, or hassle of propane and generators.
The Ekko is the future of Class C adventure vehicles, offering exceptional comfort and off-road capability. With a few key upgrades, you can unlock its full potential.
Developed by power experts Freedom VanGo, this system not only adds and additional 320ah battery to your system (640ah total) but it extensively upgrades a number of the components. These upgraded components allow better monitoring, faster charging and additional solar upgrades (sold separately).
Why Say No to Propane?
- Fails in Cold Temperatures - Propane struggles in freezing conditions, leaving you without heat or power when you need it most.
- Safety Concerns - Propane is highly explosive, making diesel a much safer alternative. Diesel leaks are messy but non-volatile, while propane leaks are extremely dangerous.
- Hard to Monitor - Most propane tanks lack accurate measurement systems, relying on manual checks and analog dials.
- Inconvenient Refills - Propane refills are cumbersome, requiring tank removal and visits to specialty gas stations. Diesel, by contrast, is available at almost every station.
