Entegra Coach Aspire Class A RV

Entegra built its reputation on construction methods that go beyond what most coaches in the same price tier use. On the diesel pushers, that means residential hung-wall construction, five-inch wood floors, three layers of insulation, the exclusive X-Bridge frame, and a TuffShell vacuum-bonded laminated body with a one-piece fiberglass roof. Cabinets are installed before the tile floor goes in, which sounds like a small detail until you need cabinet work done twenty years later. The practical result owners report is a quieter cabin at highway speed and a more solid feel over rough pavement. Entegra has also backed its coaches with a longer warranty than most of the segment, including a two-year limited warranty and a five-year structural limited warranty on the upper-tier diesel coaches. The one thing buyers should factor in is the manufacturing change described below, which affects where a given coach was built and who handles its service and warranty.

Entegra Coach was founded in 2008 as the motorized division of Jayco, based in Middlebury, Indiana, and became part of Thor Industries when Thor acquired Jayco in 2016. That structure has since changed for part of the lineup. Thor announced that production of Entegra's Class A diesel pushers, including the Aspire, would move from Jayco to Tiffin Motorhomes in Red Bay, Alabama, with Tiffin building the successor coaches under its own branding. Jayco continues to build Entegra's Class C, Class B, and gas Class A motorhomes in Middlebury, and Jayco continues to provide customer service, parts, and warranty support for all Jayco-built Entegra coaches. If you are looking at a specific Aspire, ask your salesperson who built it and which service pathway applies.

No. Jayco ended production of the Entegra Class A diesel lineup, including the Aspire, as part of Thor's decision to move that segment to Tiffin. The successor coaches are built at Tiffin's Red Bay facility and carry some Entegra design elements, including the hung-wall construction, but they are sold under Tiffin branding rather than the Entegra name. That makes remaining new inventory and the used market the two ways to buy an Aspire. It also means Aspire values are worth watching, since discontinued nameplates with a strong build reputation often hold value well. Contact MHSRV for current availability.

The Aspire is built on the Spartan K2 chassis with a 450-horsepower Cummins® diesel and a tag axle for added stability and load capacity. The package includes a side-mounted radiator with vertical louvers for better engine cooling under load, a three-stage engine brake that shares braking duty on long descents, the Valid air leveling system, E-Z Steer adjustable power steering assist to cut driver fatigue, and a 150-gallon fuel tank for longer range between stops. The cockpit runs Entegra's Safe-View dash with a digital instrument cluster and a center console infotainment screen, plus blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera system.

All three are Entegra Class A diesel pushers built with the X-Bridge frame and hung-wall construction, and they separate mainly by chassis, engine, and standard content. The Aspire runs the Spartan K2 chassis with the 450-horsepower Cummins and sits at the entry point of Entegra's upper diesel tier, above the Reatta family. The Anthem steps up in engine power, wheelbase, and standard equipment. The Cornerstone is the flagship, with the largest Cummins engine and the Spartan K3 chassis with independent front suspension, along with the highest level of interior finish in the lineup. Pick the Aspire for upper-tier chassis credentials and a tag axle at the lowest entry price in that tier.
