We’re excited to share with you our experience purchasing our new Winnebago Sprinter EKKO (Sprekko) from Lichtsinn RV in Forest City, Iowa.
We hope that as you watch this video, you’ll capture the wonderful moments we shared with the team and truly understand why this experience was unforgettable and why we chose Lichtsinn RV as our preferred dealer of choice.
We want to give a big thank you to Renae who truly was the catalyst in unfolding this amazing experience. Huge thank you to Jeremy our orientation guy, Riley dedicated service advisor, Kevin in Finance and insurance, Rachel in the detail department, Ron and Holly Lichtsinn and the entire staff for making us feel welcome and providing a true guest experience.
We can’t say enough about how we encourage others to give LICHTSINN RV a chance and see for yourself why went nearly across country to start our journey ahead. @LichtsinnRV

Congratulations on your new Ekko!!! We were hoping you would be replacing Bad Betty with a new 23B. We have had ours for a month and now know that the random piece of cloth is for !! Please keep the videos coming
Thank you for checking out our channel and being a part of our experience.
Yes, it was pretty neat to see what that cloth was for. I think it’s gonna help a lot of folks understand. And definitely save some wear on the cushions.
Congratulations on your new 23B as well.
Thanks for making this video, it sealed the deal with us buying from Lichtsinn RV. We pick up our Sprekko next Friday, also full body paint. We opted for a two battery + LP gen. We’re flying in and driving back all the way from Alabama!
Woohoo!! She's beautiful!! We can't wait to see the new adventures! 🩶🎉🩶
Thank you, Thank you 🙏 we are going to definitely have some fun with the mods and travels for sure.
Good luck with the new Sprekko! Love the new color! Gonna miss Bad Betty, I followed all your adventures and mods from the beginning. The couple that bought Bad Betty is getting a great moded out Ekko!! Looking forward to your new adventures and how you are going to mod this one out!!
Thank you very much for being a part of our channel and experience.
Yes, we miss bad Betty too but the good news is the family that has her really loves her and she’s going to continue her adventures.
We’re excited about all the mods and adventures ahead with the new Sprekko for sure.
So fun to watch this. Jeremy is just awesome and made the experience. It is the best vehicle purchase experience bar none. Looking forward to me return trip. PS….the A/C upgrade was the best thing I upgraded.
That’s the exact spec and colors I’d love to have. The full body paint is gorgeous. Congrats!
Thank you. It’s even more stunning in person. Thank you for following along and subscribing as welll.
Thank you. It’s even more stunning in person. Thank you for following along and subscribing as well.
I’m now 13 days into owning a 2025 SPREKKO and love it. I’ll be taking her about 3,000 miles on her first trip.
@@CharlieGraceAdventure congratulations 🎊 that’s really awesome. Where do you plan on traveling to?
@@ekkonesters599 Started in Alabama then on to Canada then heading west to Iowa for Camp Winnebago
@@CharlieGraceAdventure that’s some serious traveling.
Bad Betty says ‘hello’!
Tell her hello for sure and that we know if she’s in the best of hands.
❤️
congratulations you guys! It looks amazing!~ Cannot wait to see it in person! Awesome video, cannot wait to see the new adventures in the new rig!~
Thank you Emily. We are very excited for sure. Lots of mods ahead!
Adventure is waiting! Next level!
👍 we are excited for sure. Thank you for checking out our video and subscribing it means a lot to us.
Wonderful video guys. What a great experience.
Thank you, Kevin greatly appreciate you falling along with our adventures.
Oh yeah brother
Fantastic!! Happy days are here again! Hope the trip home was a great adventure.
Thank you, Richard. Yes, things are gonna be pretty fun for sure.
Thank you for always supporting our channel and leaving such wonderful comments.
We also had a stellar experience at Lichtsinn ….still have our Trekko 🎉 Congrats on the new rig…traveling mercies out there!
Hello William, thank you for subscribing our channel and following our adventures.
That’s awesome to hear that you had an amazing experience as well.
Congratulations to you as well.
Yes, let the travels in adventures begin.
Wishing you safe and happy travels.
How about naming her Jalepeno? You eat them in every meal (I think - haha), and she brings the flavor to every adventure! Congratulations!!! I felt bad for Michelle saying goodbye to Bad Betty, but I am so excited y'all have your v.2.OH YEAH 🎉 👏
Lol that name fits for sure huh? No kidding.
Thank you for leaving a common and watching our adventures and being a part of our channel.
Thank you for the kind wishes.
Low that name.
Love
Congratulations you two! I was waiting to see if you were going to make the switch! Can’t wait to hear about your experiences and hear about the differences in the 2 models! Also, it would be great to hear about the maintenance costs (eventually). Our ford was really cheap for maintenance but our diesel engine cost about 5 times more for service. So, curious about how the difference in maintenance costs works out with the 2 models. Can’t wait to see more adventures! Have a great time! ❤
Oh, and here are some name suggestions: Slick Sally, Adventure Annie, Road Queen. 👌
Thank you for checking out the video and all the kind words.
Will definitely keep track of the maintenance side of this and try to put a video together some information in the near future.
I’ve already been thinking a little bit about that and how maybe I can make some suggestions to others to be a little more resourceful and not be at the mercy of Mercedes when it comes to Oil change gouging lol thank you for the suggestions on the names too. It is tough to figure this one out. I don’t know why hope you’re doing well. Take good care.
Congradulations on your new RV. Happy for yall
Thank You 🙏 very much for the words and wishes.
enjoy the new ride!!
Such a great team. Make me cry. How great. You were treated.
Yes, they are amazing. If we could’ve only put full three hours worth of video we would’ve.
Hope another folks go have an opportunity experience with an amazing company. LICHTSINN is.
I'll second that! We also purchased our Trekko from Renae. She was fantastic! And the orientation from Jeremy was superb!
Congrats; Crazy happy for you & the new rug! 🎉
Thank you very much for the kind words and wishes. Wishing you the best as well.
Thank you very much. We are excited as well and looking forward to sharing new adventures and mods.
Congrats. Just picked up my 23b last week. Wish I knew that you could get it in one color. When I saw your saying goodbye video last week I was so bummed, but now I'm even more excited that I can follow your lead in upgrading my mods right behind you. Looking forward to see what you have in store for (?). Love your channel.
Hello, congratulations to you as well.
I’m sure you’re gonna have a great time out there.
We are super grateful for the support you give our channel and for falling along with us.
Will definitely be sharing all the mods that we’re gonna do. I’m gonna try to be as comprehensive on them as possible. That way folks can do their best to make their decisions along the way.
Thank you for the comments as always.
Hi guys!!! It was great meeting you in Deadwood! If you ever make it to Kansas, you must stop by!!
Thank you. It was a pleasure to meet you as well. Thank you for the invite. Hope you all have safe travels as well. It was fun chatting with the two of you.
Just watched, and you asked for name suggestions for your new Sprekko. I humbly submit Better Betty!
lol, on Better Betty. We can’t do that to the original Bad Betty. Like the idea though. Thank you very much as well for subscribe to our channel and following our journey and adventures.
I hope all is well with you wishing you the best ahead.
Very nice ride. Enjoy your trip back home We will be at Lichtsinn in August to pick up our new View 24 T
Congratulations on your new rig!!!
Thank you very much. We appreciate the kind words and support on the channel.
Great video. What fun. I could feel the anticipation during the start. Congratulations 🎊🎈🍾
Bad Betty II (2.0)
Bad Betsy
Aventura (Spanish for Adventure)
👍Cool names for sure. Bad Betsy if a fun one. Michelle has this on her list of names.
@@ekkonesters599 I heard that Betsy was Betty’s sister or was it her alter ego. 😁
I was on a cross country trip and did stop and visit Lichtsinn. I was impressed with the dealership but unfortunately they didn't have a 23B in the configuration I was looking for. I was able to find a 23B in stock once I got back to Calif. I did learn what the piece to protect the seat went via this video. Thanks !!
Well, it’s good to hear that you found the one that you wanted for sure.
Yes, they were a great dealer and wonderful people to work with.
I know that little tip was the best I agree.
@@ekkonesters599 The tech did mention that if you had the a/c on and turned on the microwave the a/c would get turned off. Well that is not how mine works. If I do that everything shuts down. If the a/c compressor is turned off and the fan is on high it does the same thing. I can have the a/c fan on low and used the microwave. I talked to WGO and was told the Sprekko does not have the power sharing module that the Trekko has. Oh well just have to turn things on/off by hand.
Congratulations. LICHTSINN is the best. There is no question about that. We bought our Revel from them before our Ekko and enjoyed the entire process. I don't know why anyone would do business with anyone else. So what is the name of the new rig?
Yes, I agree with you 100% about Lichtsinn RV. They were professional right out the gate and made the experience amazing.
We’re not sure about the name yet it’s been a tough one. It’s so hard, especially since BAD Betty just fit so well. We are keeping a list of names and suggestions.
I’m getting a “Sandra Dee” or “Sandy” vibe from her 😊
What a beautiful Sprekko!! Love the video and I guess finally everyone knows what to do with the spare cloth! Haha! Wishing you the the best travels!! Oh yeah now you have room for another person to sleep in it!!
Thank you very much. We are very happy with the purchase and all the fun adventures and Mods ahead for sure.
Been following you guys since day/post one. While I have many questions (hoping to meet you some day for a chat and a meal) one that stands out today based on the Sprinter is: Will you miss you pull out kitchen/cooler & will you create a mod to replace it?. Thanks for the years so far!.
@@woodybailey Thank you very much for subscribing and following along with us. We can’t say enough about how much we appreciate this. It would definitely be cool to connect along the road at some point. Yes, the outdoor/tailgate package will be missed. I am definitely considering a slide out mod for the rear garage area. I’ll probably add the additional cooler there. It would be more of an outdoor convenience for extra food and beverages.
Thank you again for the kind comment and for sticking with our channel.
Congrats. We are happy Lichtsinn customers as well. Actually out on the Bourbon trail this weekend.
That very cool for sure. Thank you by the way.
I was waiting for this! How bout "Wild Willie” or "Rad Bettie"?
Hello John, hope all is well with you.
It’s always fun to chat with you.
Those are some good names for sure. We’ve got a whole list running. Hope you’re doing well. Be safe out there.
Congratulations love the color full body paint
Congratulations 🎉
🙏Thank you. We feel pretty fortunate for sure.
Congratulations! Your Sprekko needs to have a male name. He looks more masculine with that single color gray. Enjoy. Safe travels.
Thank you for following along with Archie and watching our video.
I know what you’re saying, but for some reason we’re still leaning toward the female side. Thank you for the kind wishes as well.
I've already emailed Renae with our Sprekko interest and questions. Thank you Michelle & Jason for your content, maybe we make the trip to Litchsinn vs here in AZ. We'll see. And a comment for Jason & Michelle... Shouldn't it be Michelle & Jason? Ladies first... Just a thought
That’s awesome, keep us posted on how things move along.
We are confident you’re gonna love the experience with Renae and the team.
Lol you’re correct. I should be introducing Michelle first. Thank you for the suggestion
Also, thank you very much for following our channel and subscribing.
It means a lot to us.
@@scottwebb4877 hello Scott, I was just chatting with Renae at Lichtsinn RV she is now back from Vacation. Not sure if you connected, but here is the number 641-585-3213.
Big Benz!
@@prettybignose4587 Nice
We are picking up our SprEKKO up in July.
That is very exciting news for sure. I bet you are counting down the days.
Keep us updated once you hit the road.
@@ekkonesters599 B'TW, that's our red Travato that's in your video.
Sprekatola!
Stealth Baron!
Thanks for sharing the experience. In California so how would warranty items get done? Do they line someone up for you. I never heard of them in California
By the way Happy Birthday
We bought from Lichtsinn and live in the DC area. Lichtsinn will help you coordinate with a local Winnebago dealer in your area for any warranty work. It was a great experience purchasing from Lichtsinn!!
@@rodrippey9045 Thanks that gives me comfort
How much of a discount did Lichtsinn RV give you off the purchase price of the Ekko for being on TH-cam?
Can you fill up the diesel in the truckers lane at Truck stops? Using the larger nozzles?
Great question for sure and yes you can. We have been doing this along the way. Stopped by a few stations in South Dakota and have used the larger nozzles.
I also like the fact that there was true diesel (ULSD) no bio diesel at these locations.

CONGRATS!!!! Welcome to the Litchsinn RV family. Thanks for documenting your delivery day experience. We felt like we were there with you. Jeremy was also our walk-through tech guy and as everyone else there, the experience was fantastic. Kudos to Renae and Jeremy and the whole Litchsinn gang. I wish I would have been there as well. Can't wait to hear about the new name for your Sprekko. I love the interior wood finish. Safe travels back home and let the new adventures begin!! See you soon.
Hello henry, how are you? Thank you so much for the kind words and wishes.
Yes, their entire team was amazing.
Renae shared with us how you all are friends and she just loves the two of you.
Thank you for always making us feel so welcomed too. Keep us posted if you end up picking one up yourself.
Did you trade your Ford Ekko? How much is Sprekko?
Sprekky!
@@prettybignose4587 cute.
Slick Sally
Creative. Thank you for the suggestion and for supporting our TH-cam channel.
🎉
❤ thank you definitely looking forward to sharing adventures, mods, and just overall good times with everyone.
Thanks for supporting our channel and checking out our video.
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Thank you 🙏 😎
I think the Mercedes is just a better platform. When you said you sold your first one, it wasn't a long shot guess why.
Should label the outlets
Ok, I got it. Name her Nester.
Clever 😎

lol 😂
