Winnebago EKKO 22A vs Coachmen Cross Trail XL 22XG

Winnebago · Class C

The difference that matters

Two Ford-based Class Cs of 23 to 24 feet, built for different kinds of trips. The Winnebago EKKO 22A rides an all-wheel-drive Transit with the 3.5L EcoBoost and a 10-speed automatic, tows 5,000 lb, and is built around off-grid gear: 500 W of solar, a 320Ah heated Lithionics battery, a 2,000 W inverter, a dedicated second alternator and a 2,800 W gas generator. It has a heated pass-through gear garage with L-track, Truma VarioHeat and AquaGo, and a bath with a pivoting wall and cassette toilet.

The Coachmen Cross Trail XL 22XG sits on a Ford E-350 with a 12,500 lb GVWR, 1,500 lb above the EKKO's 11,000, and tows 2,500 lb. It is a no-slide layout with heated tank pads and generator prep, and carries a 31-gallon black tank. The EKKO holds more water at 50 gallons fresh and 51 gray against 41 and 28.

Each sleeps four. For AWD, solar and a gear garage, the EKKO. For a plain Class C with a conventional toilet and black tank, the Cross Trail.

Winnebago EKKO 22A: Skiers, climbers and boondockers who want AWD, a big lithium bank and a heated gear garage.
Coachmen Cross Trail XL 22XG: Campers who stay at campgrounds and want a simple no-slide Class C with a standard black tank.
