I'd be interested in knowing how Henry compares to Walter in terms of drivability and handling with the additional size and weight. We're considering a Winnebago Ekko class RV (such as AeonRV, Nomad Euphoria, RossMonster Havn) and are trying to figure out what tradeoffs we can live with and which ones are a must have. We recently rented a 25' Class C RV and that size was a challenge in city driving and also took a toll on us with longer driving days. I think we could get by with an AeonRV sized vehicle. I prefer the Ford Transit platform versus the Sprinter and also like the dinette layout of the AeonRV compared to the Ekko. Congrats again on Henry.
Hi Tim! Good questions! Henry and Walter drive about the same and have similar weights. Henry is 2 feet longer than Walter and 6 inches wider. We're currently camping at Big Bend National Park at our favorite "primitive off-road backcountry campsite" and having had both vehicles out here we think they handle the same -- didn't notice any real differences on the rough road in. For comparison we also tent camped here out of a lifted Subaru Crosstrek.
We're really loving having a fixed dinette and not having to spin the seats like we did in Walter, plus the dinette will let us take my Dad places too, since it has 2 seatbelts and the dinette converts into a bed. Really looking forward to that!
We've heard from people who had an Ekko and got an Aeon and they said there's no comparison -- the Aeon wins hands-down!
As far as city driving goes they're about the same!
Long driving days flew by in Henry!
Feel free to DM me if you have any more questions -- we're happy to help!

You have certainly covered the miles! The sunsets you catch are stunning!
Yes to lots of miles! We're still recovering lol! And thanks on the sunsets -- I get so excited for them every single day!
