Entegra Coach Esteem RVs For Sale
Entegra Coach Esteem Class C gas motorhomes for sale at Motor Home Specialist, the #1 Volume Selling Motor Home Dealer in the World and the #1 Entegra Coach RV dealer in the country. The Esteem is the flagship of Entegra's Class C gas lineup, built on the Ford E-450 chassis with the 7.3L V-8 gas engine producing 325 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. Shopping for a new Entegra Esteem or a used Entegra Esteem? MHSRV stocks one of the largest selections of Entegra Esteem Class C motorhomes for sale in the country, all backed by industry-leading discount pricing.
The Esteem sits at the top of Entegra's van-chassis Class C tier. It's a separate product family from the Entegra Odyssey (mid-range) and the value-focused Entegra Odyssey SE, with the upgraded Ford E-450 chassis, the exclusive E-Z Drive Elite ride and handling package with Koni FSD shocks, and a Customer Value Package that bundles the typically-optional Class C gas amenities as mandatory standard. It's aimed at buyers stepping up from the Odyssey tier, downsizing from a Class A gas coach, or cross-shopping the Esteem against upper-tier Class C gas products from Coachmen, Jayco, and Winnebago. Shoppers who want the same Esteem lineage on a larger F-Series chassis should also look at the Entegra Esteem XL.
Ford E-450 Chassis and Drivetrain
Every Esteem is built on the Ford E-450 chassis with the 7.3L V-8 gas engine (325 horsepower, 450 lb-ft of torque) and Ford's 6-speed TorqShift series transmission with overdrive. Standard chassis equipment includes a 210-amp alternator, tire pressure monitoring, power anti-lock brakes with power steering, automatic emergency braking, E-rated LT225/75R16 highway tires, a 12V chassis battery, a 55-gallon fuel tank, and a catalytic converter theft deterrent. Every Esteem carries a 14,500-pound GVWR (5,000 front, 9,600 rear) and a 22,000-pound GCWR across all three floor plans. The E-450 frame and suspension foundation is what the E-Z Drive Elite package builds on, and it's the chassis step up over the Odyssey's Ford E-Series platform.
The Esteem carries a 7,500-pound hitch with 750-pound tongue capacity and a 7-pin plug, well-suited for a small toad, an enclosed trailer, a small boat, or recreational gear.
E-Z Drive Elite Ride and Handling
The exclusive E-Z Drive Elite ride and handling package is the flagship-tier driver on the Esteem. Elite adds a computer-balanced driveshaft, Koni FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) shocks, a heavy-duty rear stabilizer bar, a standard front stabilizer bar, Hellwig helper springs, and rubber isolation body mounts. Koni FSD shocks adjust their damping response based on input frequency instead of just velocity, so they firm up over sharp bumps and soften over long undulations. The Koni FSD shocks and the heavy-duty rear stabilizer bar are the two features that separate the Esteem's Elite package from the Odyssey's base E-Z Drive.
Customer Value Package as Mandatory Standard
Every Esteem includes Entegra's Customer Value Package (CVP) as mandatory standard equipment. On the Esteem, the CVP bundles the E-Z Drive Elite package, the one-piece fiberglass front cap, the automotive-bonded panoramic window in the front cap with power shade, automatic hydraulic leveling jacks, frameless windows, the electric patio awning with LED lights, the exterior LED HD Smart TV with two JBL marine-grade exterior speakers, the 1,000-watt inverter, chrome heated remote-controlled side-view mirrors, the 9-inch Sony infotainment center with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, integrated backup and side-view cameras, and the LED-lit solid-surface kitchen countertop. The Esteem CVP is a step above the Odyssey CVP, adding the auto leveling jacks, the inverter, the upgraded mirrors, and the solid-surface countertop as mandatory standard.
Driver Assistance
Standard driver assistance on the Esteem includes integrated backup and side-view cameras (the side-view cameras give full visibility down both sides of the coach while turning or changing lanes), automatic emergency braking, cruise control, hill start assist, electronic stability control, traction control, driver and passenger airbags, and SecuriLock anti-theft ignition. Used Esteem inventory may carry a different ADAS configuration by model year, so verify specifics with an MHSRV product expert.
TuffShell Construction
The Esteem body uses TuffShell vacuum-bond laminated floor, sidewalls, and roof with bead-foam insulation rated to R-24 max in the roof, R-9 max in the floor, and R-5 max in the walls. The one-piece fiberglass roof and one-piece fiberglass front cap cut the common Class C water-intrusion seams where lower-tier products typically fail over time. The automotive-bonded panoramic window in the front cap (with power shade) brightens the cab-over bunk area with natural light. Exterior walls are fiberglass with partial paint and vinyl graphics, and the running boards are fiberglass with integrated side wings.
Off-Grid Power and Climate
Every Esteem comes standard with a 4,000-watt generator with auto-gen start (drawing directly from the chassis fuel tank), a 1,000-watt inverter, a 12V house battery, 30-amp electrical service, a transfer switch with reverse polarity protection, a 16.5-gallon propane tank with LP quick-connect, a winterization drain system, a 12V demand water pump, and a full-coach water filtration system. The Esteem also carries a 200-watt solar panel with dual controller and a second house battery as standard (not optional as on the Odyssey), so you get real off-grid capability out of the box. Climate control uses a 15,000-BTU A/C with heat pump standard, a 30,000-BTU auto-ignition furnace, and a Suburban tankless water heater with no recovery time and no holding limit. An optional dual 13,500-BTU A/C setup with power management is available for buyers who want additional cooling capacity.
Cockpit and Interior
The Esteem cockpit pairs the standard 9-inch Sony infotainment center (tilt and swivel, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, AM/FM/SiriusXM, Bluetooth) with swivel driver and passenger seats, a tilt steering wheel, power windows and door locks, an auxiliary start switch, and a cab privacy curtain. Every floor plan runs 84-inch interior ceiling height with a padded vinyl ceiling, hardwood cabinet doors and drawer fronts with soft-close hardware, high-intensity recessed LED ceiling lights, LED-lit fascia, blackout night roller shades, and the BMPRO total coach control system with wall-mounted touchscreen and mobile app (a step up over the Odyssey's interior command center). Living-room amenities include the standard LED HD Smart TV, a JBL audio system, and cable TV hookup with RG-6 coax.
Kitchen
The Esteem kitchen pairs a 10-cubic-foot 12V refrigerator (no propane required, so LP lasts longer on boondocking trips), an all-in-one cooktop and oven, a residential-size microwave, the LED-lit solid-surface kitchen countertop (standard via the CVP), a flip-up countertop extension on select floor plans, a recessed stainless steel sink with solid-surface covers, a decorative kitchen backsplash, ball-bearing drawer guides, and a pop-up charging station with 120V outlets and USB ports. Every Esteem also carries the Entegra-exclusive legless dinette table with child-seat tethers on select floor plans, so the dinette converts to extra sleeping space without a floor-mounted leg in the way.
Sleeping Configurations
Sleeping varies by floor plan. The 29V and 31F carry a walk-around Queen-size bed with bedspread and nightstands. The 27U steps up to a walk-around King (the only Esteem floor plan with a King). Every Esteem includes USB ports and wireless charging in both nightstands, a 750-pound capacity overhead cab-over bunk with safety net, custom-molded ABS surround in the cab-over area, and large wardrobes. The 31F adds dedicated rear bunks with an industry-exclusive 300-pound capacity each in addition to the rear Queen and the cab-over bunk, so it sleeps up to seven across three zones and stands out as the family-flagship floor plan. Under-bed storage is included on select floor plans. An optional bedroom LED HD Smart TV is available on all three floor plans.
Bathroom and SHOWERMISER
The Esteem bathroom pairs a shower with decorative surround, glass door, skylight, and light with the Aqua View SHOWERMISER water management system (which recirculates cold water back to the fresh tank until hot water reaches the shower head, a real boondocking water-conservation feature not available on the Odyssey), a recessed stainless steel sink, a porcelain foot-flush toilet, and a powered roof vent with wall switch.
Exterior
Exterior standard equipment includes frameless windows, the one-piece fiberglass front cap with automotive-bonded panoramic window and power shade, partial paint with vinyl graphics, fiberglass running boards with side wings, the electric patio awning with LED lights, slideout awnings, an entrance door with an industry-largest travel-view window, an electric-powered entrance step with integrated house-battery compartment, lockable storage compartments with slam latches, an exterior utility center, an outside shower, the exterior LED HD Smart TV with two JBL marine-grade exterior speakers, chrome heated remote-controlled side-view mirrors, a roof ladder, prep for satellite dish, a Winegard 2.0 Wi-Fi/4G antenna, a third brake light, and remote keyless cab entry. Options include aluminum rims, a folding windshield sun shade, and the Blackout Package (which finishes wheels, grille, mirrors, and bumper in matching black).
Floor Plans at MHSRV
The Entegra Esteem is available at MHSRV in three floor plans. All three share the 14,500-pound GVWR, 22,000-pound GCWR, Ford E-450 chassis, 7.3L V-8 325HP engine, and 100-inch exterior width with 11'8" exterior height.
Esteem 27U. 29'11" length, 195" wheelbase, walk-around King-size bed, the only Esteem floor plan with a King. Optional power theater seating. Pick this floor plan if the King master bedroom is a must-have in a Class C gas footprint.
Esteem 29V. 32'6" length, 223" wheelbase, walk-around Queen bed, 47-gallon fresh water capacity. Optional power theater seating. Pick this floor plan for the longer footprint and larger fresh tank in a two-adult configuration.
Esteem 31F. 32'6" length, 223" wheelbase, walk-around Queen bed plus dedicated rear bunks with industry-exclusive 300-pound capacity each. Optional power theater seating. This is the family-flagship floor plan. Pick this floor plan for family travel with kids or teens who need real, adult-capacity bunks.
Cross-shopping the Esteem? Shoppers looking at the Class C gas flagship tier typically also compare against Entegra's other Class C gas products. The Entegra Odyssey is the mid-range Class C gas line on the Ford E-Series chassis with the base E-Z Drive package (no Koni FSD shocks, no heavy-duty rear stabilizer bar) and a lighter CVP without auto leveling jacks, inverter, or solid-surface countertops standard. The Entegra Odyssey SE is the value-focused entry tier with a chassis choice between Ford E-350 and Chevrolet 4500 at a lower price point. The Entegra Esteem XL extends the Esteem lineage onto a larger F-Series chassis for buyers who want more capacity than the E-450 platform allows.
Entegra Esteem FAQs
What is the Entegra Coach Esteem?
The Entegra Coach Esteem is the flagship Class C gas motorhome in the Entegra lineup, built by Entegra Coach (a subsidiary of Jayco and part of the Thor Industries family of companies). The Esteem is built on the Ford E-450 chassis with the 7.3L V-8 325HP gas engine, the exclusive E-Z Drive Elite ride and handling package with Koni FSD shocks, TuffShell vacuum-bond laminated construction, hardwood cabinet doors and drawers with soft-close hardware, and a Customer Value Package that bundles auto hydraulic leveling jacks, the 1,000-watt inverter, chrome heated remote mirrors, and the LED-lit solid-surface kitchen countertop as mandatory standard. The Esteem sits at the top of Entegra's van-chassis Class C gas lineup as a separate product family from the Odyssey family.
What chassis is the Entegra Esteem built on?
The Entegra Esteem is built on the Ford E-450 chassis with the 7.3L V-8 gas engine at 325 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque, paired with the Ford 6-speed TorqShift series transmission with overdrive. Standard chassis equipment includes a 210-amp alternator, tire pressure monitoring, power anti-lock brakes with power steering, automatic emergency braking, E-rated LT225/75R16 highway tires, a 12V chassis battery, a 55-gallon fuel tank, auto hydraulic leveling jacks, and a catalytic converter theft deterrent. The E-450 is a step up from the Ford E-Series chassis used on the Odyssey, and its heavier-duty frame and suspension foundation is what the E-Z Drive Elite package builds on. The 14,500-pound GVWR and 22,000-pound GCWR are consistent across every Esteem floor plan. Used Esteem inventory may carry a different chassis configuration by model year, so verify with an MHSRV product expert before purchase.
How much can the Entegra Esteem tow?
The Entegra Esteem carries a 7,500-pound hitch with a 750-pound tongue capacity and a 7-pin plug, the same tow rating as the Odyssey tier. It's well-suited for a small toad vehicle, an enclosed trailer, a small boat, or other recreational gear behind the coach.
What's the difference between the Entegra Esteem and the Odyssey?
The Entegra Esteem and Entegra Odyssey are two separate Class C gas product families, not two tiers of one family. The Esteem is the flagship Class C gas line on the Ford E-450 chassis with the E-Z Drive Elite ride and handling package (which adds Koni FSD shocks and a heavy-duty rear stabilizer bar over the base E-Z Drive). The Odyssey is the mid-range Class C gas line on the Ford E-Series chassis with the base E-Z Drive package. The Esteem's Customer Value Package is a step above the Odyssey's, adding auto hydraulic leveling jacks, the 1,000-watt inverter, chrome heated remote-controlled side-view mirrors, the exterior LED HD Smart TV with JBL exterior speakers, and the LED-lit solid-surface kitchen countertop as mandatory standard. The Esteem also carries a 200-watt solar panel with dual controller and second house battery as standard (optional on the Odyssey), a 15,000-BTU A/C with heat pump standard, a Suburban tankless water heater, the Aqua View SHOWERMISER water management system, the BMPRO total coach control system, and a 16.5-gallon propane tank. Esteem availability rotates by model year across the 27U, 29V, and 31F, so verify current stock with an MHSRV salesperson. Pick the Esteem for the Elite ride package, richer standard equipment, and the King-bed 27U or family-bunk 31F. Pick the Odyssey for a lower price point and more floor-plan variety.
What's the difference between the Entegra Esteem and the Odyssey SE?
The Esteem is the flagship of Entegra's Class C gas lineup. The Entegra Odyssey SE is the value-focused entry tier. The Esteem runs on the Ford E-450 chassis with the E-Z Drive Elite ride package and Koni FSD shocks. The Odyssey SE gives buyers a chassis choice between Ford E-350 and Chevrolet 4500 without the Elite ride package. The Esteem's Customer Value Package includes auto hydraulic leveling jacks, the 1,000-watt inverter, chrome heated remote mirrors, the exterior LED HD Smart TV with JBL exterior speakers, the LED-lit solid-surface kitchen countertop, and the 200-watt solar with second house battery as standard. The Odyssey SE carries a lighter standard-equipment set at a lower price point. Pick the Esteem for the Elite chassis, richer standard equipment, and the 31F family bunk floor plan. Pick the Odyssey SE for the lowest entry price into an Entegra Class C gas.
What's the difference between the Entegra Esteem and the Esteem XL?
The Entegra Esteem is the top of Entegra's van-chassis Class C gas tier on the Ford E-450. The Entegra Esteem XL extends the Esteem lineage onto a larger F-Series truck chassis, so the XL runs a heavier frame, a longer wheelbase, and a higher weight rating. Buyers who love the Esteem's flagship-tier standard equipment but need more capacity, more length, or more cargo carrying capacity than the E-450 platform allows should look at the Esteem XL. Availability, current chassis configuration, and current standard equipment on the Esteem XL rotate by model year, so verify specifics with an MHSRV product expert. Pick the Esteem for the tighter van-chassis footprint and easier drivability. Pick the Esteem XL for more chassis and more capacity.
What is the E-Z Drive Elite ride and handling package?
E-Z Drive Elite is the exclusive ride and handling package on the Entegra Esteem, building on the base E-Z Drive package used on the Odyssey. The Elite version adds a computer-balanced driveshaft, Koni FSD shocks, a heavy-duty rear stabilizer bar, a standard front stabilizer bar, Hellwig helper springs, and rubber isolation body mounts. Koni FSD shocks are frequency-selective dampers that adjust their response based on input frequency, firming up over sharp bumps and softening over long undulations. The Koni FSD shocks and heavy-duty rear stabilizer bar are the two features that separate the Esteem's Elite package from the Odyssey's base E-Z Drive.
What are Koni FSD shocks?
Koni FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) shocks are a premium shock absorber technology used on the Entegra Esteem as part of the E-Z Drive Elite package. Unlike conventional shocks, FSD shocks adjust their damping response based on input frequency instead of just velocity. They firm up over high-frequency inputs like sharp bumps and road imperfections, then soften over low-frequency inputs like long undulations and body roll in turns. The result is a noticeably more refined ride than a standard Class C gas configuration, particularly on long highway stretches and over varied road surfaces.
What is the Customer Value Package on the Entegra Esteem?
The Customer Value Package (CVP) is Entegra's mandatory standard equipment bundle on every Esteem. The CVP packages the Esteem-tier features as standard rather than as separate optional packages. On the Esteem, the CVP includes the E-Z Drive Elite ride and handling package, the one-piece fiberglass front cap, the automotive-bonded panoramic window in the front cap with power shade, auto hydraulic leveling jacks, frameless windows, the electric patio awning with LED lights, the exterior LED HD Smart TV with two JBL marine-grade exterior speakers, the 1,000-watt inverter, chrome heated remote-controlled side-view mirrors, the 9-inch Sony infotainment center with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, integrated backup and side-view cameras, and the LED-lit solid-surface kitchen countertop. The Esteem CVP is a step above the Odyssey CVP, particularly the auto leveling jacks, the inverter, the upgraded mirrors, and the solid-surface countertop.
What is the Aqua View SHOWERMISER water management system?
The Aqua View SHOWERMISER is a water conservation system standard on the Entegra Esteem and not available on the Odyssey. The system recirculates cold water back to the fresh water tank while you wait for hot water to reach the shower head. Instead of running the shower until it heats up (and losing that water down the drain), the SHOWERMISER keeps it in the fresh tank. The result is real fresh-tank conservation while boondocking, dry camping, or anywhere fresh water capacity is limited. The SHOWERMISER is one of the flagship-tier features that separates the Esteem from the Odyssey at the Class C gas level.
What floor plans does the Entegra Esteem come in?
The Entegra Esteem is available at MHSRV in three floor plans: the Esteem 27U (29'11" length, 195" wheelbase, walk-around King-size bed, the only Esteem floor plan with a King), 29V (32'6" length, 223" wheelbase, walk-around Queen bed, 47-gallon fresh water capacity), and 31F (32'6" length, 223" wheelbase, walk-around Queen bed plus dedicated rear bunks with industry-exclusive 300-pound capacity each, the family-flagship floor plan). All three floor plans share the 14,500-pound GVWR, 22,000-pound GCWR, Ford E-450 chassis, 7.3L V-8 325HP engine, and 100-inch exterior width with 11'8" exterior height. Availability rotates by model year, so verify current stock with an MHSRV salesperson.
Does the Entegra Esteem come with a King-size bed?
Yes, on the 27U floor plan. The Entegra Esteem 27U is the only Esteem floor plan with a walk-around King-size bed. The 29V and 31F carry walk-around Queen-size beds, with the 31F also adding dedicated rear bunks for family travel. Buyers who need a King master bedroom in a Class C gas footprint choose the 27U.
Does the Entegra Esteem come in a bunk model?
Yes. The Entegra Esteem 31F is the family-flagship bunk model, with dedicated rear bunks at an industry-exclusive 300-pound capacity each in addition to the walk-around rear Queen bed and the 750-pound capacity overhead cab-over bunk. Combined, the 31F sleeps up to seven across three sleeping zones and stands out as one of the more family-friendly premium-tier Class C gas motorhomes at MHSRV.
How many people does the Entegra Esteem sleep?
Sleeping capacity varies by floor plan. The Esteem 27U sleeps up to four (King master plus cab-over bunk). The 29V sleeps up to four to five (Queen master plus cab-over bunk plus dinette conversion on select configurations). The 31F sleeps up to seven (Queen master plus two dedicated rear bunks plus cab-over bunk plus dinette conversion). The 31F is the pick for families or shoppers who host kids or grandkids.
Does the Entegra Esteem come with solar and a generator standard?
Yes, both are standard. Every Entegra Esteem carries a 4,000-watt generator with auto-gen start (drawing directly from the chassis fuel tank) and a 200-watt solar panel with dual controller plus a second house battery as standard equipment. Solar is an optional upgrade on the Odyssey but standard on the Esteem. Combined with the standard 1,000-watt inverter (also mandatory via the CVP), the Esteem gives you real off-grid capability for boondocking and dry camping right out of the box.
Do I need a CDL or special license to drive the Entegra Esteem?
No. The Entegra Esteem carries a 14,500-pound GVWR and 22,000-pound GCWR, both well under the 26,001-pound Federal CDL threshold. A standard passenger driver's license is sufficient to operate the Esteem in every U.S. state. Any driver comfortable driving a large van or a pickup truck can drive an Esteem.
What advanced driver assistance features come on the Entegra Esteem?
The Entegra Esteem comes standard with integrated backup and side-view cameras (the side-view cameras give full visibility down both sides of the coach while turning or changing lanes), automatic emergency braking, cruise control, hill start assist, electronic stability control, traction control, driver and passenger airbags, and SecuriLock anti-theft ignition. Used Esteem inventory may carry a different ADAS configuration by model year, so verify with an MHSRV product expert before purchase.
