Based on the new Dodge. Eko motorhomes. Not for tall people.No gen. Composting toilet." Kum buy ya "

Like this floorplan better than the Travato. Wonder how much??

This appears to be a close translation of a European campervan design except using 120 volts, and with the addition of a gasoline generator and overhead A/C unit.So far, here is what I see:I recognize the toilet. It is a Nature's Head composting toilet. Liquid goes in a bottle, solids go into a container with peat moss. Solids can go in a trash bag when the toilet is 3/4 full and thrown away just like dog waste bags. It needs no water to work. Strange design, but its main advantage is that it can be used regardless if the rig is winterized or not.So far, this is an exact translation of a European campervan, except with the addition of a gasoline fueled generator and A/C unit. The A/C unit is definitely Texas grade, at 13,500 BTUs, and the generator is 2500 watts, which is good enough for the A/C.I'm going to send info and keep an eye on this unit. Because they didn't go with the conventional black water tank, they could use a truly European floorplan as opposed to the oddball one as in the Travato.

I'm answering my own question. $79,500. retail. They are using owners that want to, to sell the units it looks like. About a $9500. commission if sold at full retail.The cabinetry looks kind of so-so, but the floor plan is nice.Reminds me of the Daewoo cars fiasco when they tried to move into North America. Their sales setup was somewhat like this. Didn't work.

Another Class B that has beds too short and interior height requiring to move around bent over. The home (california king) mattress is 84" long - just right. ;)

Thanks for pics. Very nice interior and as noted, a nice floorplan. The shower area might be a bit tight but i do like the front two highback seats and large table. Cabinetry looks laminate but tasteful. I can see a market for this product if price stays attractively below the competition.

Specs show 54X72 rear bed and 46X60 kids bed.

Wonder what real world towing capacity is? Dodge site seems to show 11,500lb max GCVW and GVWR of around 9,500...if I'm following their website right.

Any idea the dimensions of the bed? Seems too short to sleep cross ways.

Really nice floorplan. I also like the inclusion of headrests and 3-point seat belts for the pair of seats in the middle row (I think they're 3 point - if they come out those slots near the top of the middle area of the seats).

The bathroom and kitchen areas also both look reasonable for a Class B.

Not bad for the price if the interior is of decent quality.Quite useable floorplan. No pics of interior but if shower works well that is a plus.Cassette toilet for sure would be better. Daytime running lights optional--don't try to sell one in Canada.They are mandatory. Maybe Winnebago could give them a price whopping if they tried but others, not likely. Interesting.

I stand corrected, I see it's the new Coleman Mach 8, which does deliver 13,500 BTU's, and an Onan 2500 will start it. Good to know.

Electric only water heater, like the Travato. I'm sure it's the same one.

Mlts22, they are up the road from you in Dallas. Might be worth a road trip to check them out.

No problem starting a 13,500btu AC unit on our ERA with the Onan propane genset. Generator just barely changes speed when it comes on.

There's no way a 2500 watt gen-set will start a 13,500 BTU AC. Because of the start up power a 3000 watt gen-set will be needed, or maybe the newer Yami 2800.
You can figure pretty close to the size generator needed by doubling the BTU's

I'm curious about that too. Both the Winnebago Travato and this unit have 13,500 BTU air conditioning units, coupled with the small Onan generator. I assume (and we all know what ass-u-me means), that these are designed to run the A/C while the onboard genset is going, but I might be wrong.

I hope I am not wrong, but who knows... I really don't want to haul around my 3000 watt Yamaha, or upgrade to a 4500 watt genset and have it live on a hitch mounted cargo rack. All this just to handle the A/C's locked rotor amps.
