  1. Ride Improvement
  2. Off-Road Recovery and Safety
  3. Interior Comfort
  4. Security Systems
  5. Electrical Upgrades (A Remote Control for Your Ekko)

Upgrade #1: Ride Improvement

After building 750+ suspensions for overland vehicles, we decided to partner with the best in the industry. Our custom suspensions are a result of extensive collaboration with the engineers at Agile Off-Road.

Through thorough R&D, we've designed these kits to dominate rough roads, boost load capacity, and deliver the safest ride you can find for the Ekko.

Upgrade #2: Recovery & Safety

Chasing isolation and magnificent views is what we live for. But, being alone means you'll need to get yourself out of any tricky situation you might find yourself in.

There's a lot of bumper, winch, and lighting options out there. We have a few packages to guide you to the right bumper solutions that will secure your winch to your frame without causing damage to your vehicle if you need to pull yourself out of a tricky spot.

Upgrade #3: Interior Comfort

Elevate Your Sprinter’s Sound, Warmth, and Ride Quality

The Sprinter’s factory audio system leaves a lot to be desired. Upgrading your audio is an essential improvement, but it’s also a tricky project that requires removing the door panels, which you don’t want to do more than once.

An audio upgrade is the perfect time to enhance your van’s overall comfort by adding sound deadening insulation to your doors and installing Inhabit floor mats for improved warmth and a quieter ride.

Plan These Upgrades Together for Maximum Impact

  1. Premium speakers, amplifiers, and wiring.
  2. Noise-dampening material while doors are apart.
  3. Insulated mats while interior components are removed.

Starlink Installation

Starlink satellite internet gives you:

  • High-speed, low-latency connectivity anywhere—even in remote locations.
  • 24/7 uptime for security cameras, automation, and remote monitoring.
  • Seamless access to your van’s systems from your phone—no matter where you are.

Whether you’re parked deep in the mountains or in the desert, you’ll always have a reliable connection to your security network.

Upgrade #4: Security System

For Ekko owners, managing power, security, and climate control is a constant balancing act.

With REDARC RedVision, Starlink, and a Ubiquiti security system, your Ekko becomes a smart, self-managing adventure van. This system ensures your van stays secure, powered, and comfortable.

Ubiquiti Security System

Motion Detection & Local Recording

Your Starlink connection powers our Ubiquiti security solution, creating a self-contained, locally managed surveillance network without relying on cloud storage.

  • On-Premises Recording: Unlike cloud-based systems, your Ubiquiti cameras store footage locally, meaning you don’t depend on internet speed or a third-party service to access recordings.
  • Motion-Activated Alerts & Recording: As soon as motion is detected, cameras begin recording and send an instant alert to your phone.
  • Live Feed Monitoring: Check your security cameras in real-time from anywhere using Starlink connectivity.
  • Smart Security Zones: Set up detection zones so you only get alerts for actual threats, not passing wildlife.

Tech That Works Together

🔒 High-Tech Security + Power + Connectivity

By integrating Starlink, Ubiquiti, and RedVision, your Ekko becomes a fortress on wheels:

  • 24/7 remote access and control
  • Motion-triggered lighting and surveillance
  • Powerful automation that protects you and your van
  • Reliable connectivity no matter where you travel

This isn’t just a security system. It’s a fully automated, self-sustaining smart van network.

Upgrade #5: Electrical

We'd love to recommend the electrical systems that come stock from Winnebago. However, many Winnebago Ekko owners have reported challenges with the Xantrex inverter and Lithionics batteries, including suboptimal charge settings and outdated battery firmware leading to performance issues.

Why the Stock System Falls Short

  1. Inverter Issues: Users report frequent low-voltage alarms, unexpected shutdowns, and inefficiencies in power conversion.
  2. Charging & Monitoring Limitations: The system lacks seamless multi-source charging and real-time battery monitoring, making it difficult to manage power efficiently, especially in off-grid scenarios.

Remote Control for Your Ekko

Imagine having a remote control for your entire van’s electrical system. That’s exactly what RedVision offers.

Through a simple touchscreen or mobile app, you can control:

  • Lights – Turn them on or off without getting up
  • Heating & Cooling – Adjust the temperature inside your van
  • Battery Monitoring – Check power levels in real time
  • Water Pumps & Appliances – Manage the water system, fridge, and more

REDARC transforms power management into a stress-free, high-performance experience that eliminates the frustrating inefficiencies of Xantrex while giving you complete control over your energy use.

Automation Examples

RedVision from REDARC is an intelligent automation hub that helps you manage power, climate, and comfort effortlessly.

  • Turn on your heater if temperatures drop below 40°F while you sleep.
  • Flash exterior lights when motion is detected.
  • Roll down windows and turn on fans if the AC fails with pets inside.
  • Set interior lights to dim at night so you’re not blinded when getting up for water.
  • Schedule lights to turn on/off when you're away to create the appearance of occupancy when you’re off exploring.
  • Prioritize solar charging to keep security cameras and Starlink running first before other appliances.

The options are endless and make switching to REDARC an obvious upgrade worth making.
