2024 Entegra Accolade XL Super C: Luxury Motorhome Review

What Makes the 2024 Entegra Accolade XL Super C Special?

The 2024 Entegra Accolade XL Super C isn’t just another motorhome—it’s a statement of quality and capability. Built on a commercial-grade Freightliner chassis with a legendary Cummins diesel engine, this coach is engineered for those who refuse to compromise on performance or luxury.

Super C Advantages Over Traditional Motorhomes

Super C motorhomes like the Accolade XL offer distinct advantages:

• Superior towing capacity for boats, ATVs, or vehicles
• Powerful diesel engines that handle mountains and headwinds effortlessly
• Commercial-grade chassis built for reliability and longevity
• Better weight distribution compared to traditional Class C models
• Improved ride quality with air suspension and stability systems

The Entegra Accolade XL takes these advantages and elevates them with premium materials, thoughtful design, and the kind of attention to detail that Entegra Coach is renowned for in the luxury RV market.

Performance and Power: Built on a Freightliner Foundation

Freightliner S2RV Plus Chassis

The foundation of the 2024 Entegra Accolade XL Super C is the purpose-built Freightliner S2RV Plus chassis—a front-engine diesel platform specifically designed for recreational vehicle applications. This isn’t a converted commercial truck chassis; it’s engineered from the ground up for RV living.

The Freightliner platform provides:

• Exceptional stability on highways and mountain roads
• Superior handling compared to gas-powered alternatives
• Commercial-grade components tested in the most demanding conditions
• Easy serviceability at Freightliner service centers nationwide

Cummins ISB 6.7L Diesel Engine: Power You Can Trust

At the heart of this motorhome is the legendary Cummins ISB 6.7L diesel engine, delivering 360 horsepower and an impressive 800 ft.-lb. of torque. If you’ve never experienced the difference between diesel and gas power in a motorhome, prepare to be amazed.

Why diesel matters:

• Torque for towing: That 800 ft.-lb. of torque means you can tow heavy loads without struggling on hills
• Better fuel economy: Diesel engines typically deliver 20-30% better fuel economy than comparable gas engines
• Longevity: Cummins diesel engines routinely exceed 300,000 miles with proper maintenance
• Resale value: Diesel motorhomes maintain their value significantly better than gas models

The Cummins ISB is the same engine family used in commercial trucks and buses worldwide—proven reliable in millions of applications. When you’re crossing the West Texas plains or climbing Colorado mountain passes, you’ll appreciate the confidence this powertrain provides.

Allison 3000 MH Automatic Transmission

Paired with the Cummins engine is the Allison 3000 MH automatic transmission—the gold standard for heavy-duty RV applications. The “MH” designation indicates this is specifically calibrated for motorhome use, with shift programming optimized for comfort and efficiency.

Allison transmission benefits:

• Smooth, seamless shifts that passengers barely notice
• Engine braking integration for safer downhill control
• Electronic controls for precise power management
• Proven durability in commercial and RV applications
• Excellent towing characteristics with grades and modes

The combination of Cummins power and Allison reliability means you’re driving a drivetrain that’s battle-tested in the most demanding conditions imaginable.

Variable Geometry Exhaust Brake

The 2024 Entegra Accolade XL Super C includes a variable geometry exhaust brake—a crucial safety feature that many RV buyers overlook until they need it. This system uses the exhaust flow to create back-pressure that slows the vehicle without wearing out your service brakes.

Why exhaust brakes are essential:

• Safer mountain driving: Descend steep grades without overheating brakes
• Extended brake life: Reduce wear on brake pads and rotors significantly
• Better control: Maintain steady speeds on downhill sections
• Towing safety: Critical when pulling heavy trailers

If you’ve ever smelled burning brakes on a mountain pass, you understand why this feature is invaluable for serious travelers.

Electrical Systems: Power for Off-Grid Living

Onan 8,000-Watt Diesel Generator

The 2024 Entegra Accolade XL Super C features an Onan 8,000-watt diesel generator with auto-gen start capability. This Quiet Diesel series generator runs on the same fuel as your main engine, eliminating the need to carry separate gasoline.

Generator advantages:

• Single fuel source: No need to maintain separate gasoline
• Quieter operation: Diesel generators run noticeably quieter than gas models
• Better fuel efficiency: Diesel generators consume less fuel per hour
• Auto-start capability: Automatically maintains battery charge when shore power isn’t available
• Air conditioning support: 8,000 watts easily powers both roof A/C units simultaneously

Whether you’re boondocking in Texas Hill Country or dry camping in New Mexico, this generator provides all the power you need for comfortable living.

House Battery System: 220Ah AGM Power

The electrical foundation includes four 6-volt AGM batteries providing 220 amp-hours of capacity. This deep-cycle battery bank is specifically designed for RV house loads, offering:

• Maintenance-free operation: No water to check or add
• Better cycling performance: AGM batteries handle repeated discharge/recharge cycles better than flooded batteries
• No off-gassing: Safe to install in enclosed compartments
• Faster charging: AGM batteries accept charge faster than traditional batteries
• Longer lifespan: Properly maintained AGM batteries can last 5-7 years

200W Solar System with Dual Controller

The rooftop 200-watt solar panel with dual controller extends your off-grid capability significantly. While 200 watts won’t run your air conditioner, it’s perfect for:

• Maintaining battery charge during extended storage
• Running 12V systems indefinitely during mild weather
• Reducing generator runtime for battery maintenance
• Supporting boondocking when combined with conservative power usage

The dual controller design optimizes charging from both solar and alternator sources, ensuring your batteries are always ready.

2,000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter

The 2,000-watt pure sine wave inverter converts 12V battery power to 120V AC power for household appliances. The “pure sine wave” specification is crucial—cheap modified sine wave inverters can damage sensitive electronics like computers, TVs, and phone chargers.

What you can run on 2,000 watts:

• Coffee maker and microwave (not simultaneously)
• Laptop computers and phone chargers
• Television and entertainment systems
• Small kitchen appliances
• Bathroom hair dryers and electric toothbrushes

This inverter means you can use your coach’s amenities even when the generator isn’t running—perfect for quiet mornings at the campground or overnight stops at rest areas.

50 Amp Service with Power Cord Reel

The 50 amp electrical service with integrated power cord reel is standard on this coach. This heavy-duty electrical system supports:

• Both air conditioning units running simultaneously
• Full-power electric appliances including convection ovens and induction cooktops
• Multiple devices charging without tripping breakers
• Washer/dryer capability if you add one

The power cord reel is a luxury feature that eliminates the hassle of manually coiling and storing a heavy 50-amp cable—just push a button and the reel winds it up automatically.

Climate Control: Comfort in All Seasons

Dual 15,000 BTU Air Conditioning Units

The 2024 Entegra Accolade XL Super C includes two 15,000 BTU air conditioning units, with the main unit featuring heat pump capability. This dual-zone climate control system ensures:

• Cooling capacity: 30,000 BTU total cooling keeps even the largest floor plans comfortable in extreme heat
• Zone control: Independently control bedroom and living area temperatures
• Heat pump efficiency: Use the main A/C as an electric heater in mild weather, saving propane
• Redundancy: If one unit fails, the other provides backup cooling

Texas summers demand serious cooling capacity, and this system delivers. Even in 100°F+ heat with high humidity, you’ll stay comfortable inside your coach.

40,000 BTU Forced Air Furnace

For cold-weather camping, the 40,000 BTU forced air furnace provides powerful heat throughout the coach. This ducted propane heating system:

• Heats quickly: Brings the coach from cold to comfortable in 15-20 minutes
• Distributes evenly: Ducted system prevents hot and cold spots
• Operates on battery power: Blower runs on 12V power, no generator needed
• Efficient propane use: Modern furnaces maximize heat from every gallon

Aqua-Hot® 250D Hydronic System

Here’s where the 2024 Entegra Accolade XL Super C truly distinguishes itself from lesser motorhomes: the Aqua-Hot® 250D hydronic heating and hot water system. This is a luxury feature typically found only in high-end diesel pushers.

How Aqua-Hot works:

The system heats a glycol solution (like automotive antifrerant) using diesel fuel, then circulates it through baseboard heaters and a heat exchanger for domestic hot water. Think of it as a boiler system similar to what you’d find in a luxury home.

Aqua-Hot advantages:

• Continuous hot water: Never run out—the system heats water on demand
• Silent heating: No blower noise like forced air furnaces
• Zone heating: Heat specific areas without warming the entire coach
• Diesel fuel efficiency: Burns the same fuel as your engine and generator
• No propane dependence: Extends your boondocking capability
• Engine pre-heat: Can warm engine block for easier cold-weather starting

The Aqua-Hot system represents a significant upgrade in comfort and convenience. Once you experience unlimited hot water and whisper-quiet radiant heat, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

5,000 BTU Electric Fireplace

The thermostat-controlled 5,000 BTU electric fireplace adds both ambiance and supplemental heat. This isn’t just a decorative feature—it’s a functional heating source that:

• Provides zone heating: Warm the living area without heating the entire coach
• Creates atmosphere: Enjoy the ambiance of a fireplace without the hassle
• Operates on electricity: Works on shore power or generator
• Thermostat controlled: Maintains set temperature automatically

Perfect for cool Texas evenings or extending your camping season into shoulder months, the fireplace makes your RV feel like a real home.

Water Systems: Capacity for Extended Adventures

72-Gallon Fresh Water Capacity

The 2024 Entegra Accolade XL Super C carries 72 gallons of fresh water across all floor plans—sufficient for 3-4 days of conservative use for a family of four. This capacity supports:

• Multiple showers: 5-minute showers use approximately 10-15 gallons
• Cooking and dishes: Daily meal preparation for a family
• Drinking and beverage preparation: Coffee, tea, and hydration needs
• Bathroom use: Toilet flushing and hand washing

Variable Grey and Black Water Capacities

While fresh water capacity remains constant, grey and black water tank capacities vary by floor plan. Check your specific model’s specifications, but expect:

• Grey water: 40-60 gallons typical (shower, sinks, washing)
• Black water: 30-50 gallons typical (toilet waste)

Heated Holding Tanks with 12V Pads

The holding tanks feature 12-volt heating pads for all-season use—a crucial feature if you plan winter camping or extended travel. These heating pads:

• Prevent freezing: Protect tanks and plumbing in below-freezing temperatures
• Extend camping season: Camp comfortably year-round
• Low power draw: 12V pads are more efficient than electric tank heaters
• Automatic operation: Work with your motorhome’s heating system

Black Tank Flush System

The integrated black tank flush system simplifies one of RVing’s least pleasant tasks. This system:

• Cleans more effectively: Built-in spray heads reach areas you can’t with external wands
• Saves water: Uses less water than manual flushing
• Easier to use: Connect hose, open valve, done
• Better maintenance: Regular flushing prevents buildup and odors

Thetford® Sani-Con Turbo Macerator System

The Thetford® Sani-Con Turbo macerator is a luxury convenience feature that grinds waste before pumping it through a standard garden hose. This system means:

• Dump anywhere with a cleanout: Use RV park cleanouts, house cleanouts, or standard sewer connections
• Extended hose runs: Pump waste up to 150 feet away
• No heavy sewer hoses: Use lightweight, easy-to-store garden hoses
• Uphill capability: Can pump waste uphill several feet

If you’ve ever wrestled with a stinky, heavy sewer hose, you’ll appreciate this feature immediately.

Exterior Utility Center and Outside Shower

The exterior utility center consolidates all your service connections in one convenient location:

• Water connections: Fresh water fill and city water hookup
• Sewer connections: Waste tank valves and macerator hookup
• Cable/satellite: Coax connection for campground cable
• Electric hookup: 50 amp power inlet

The outside shower provides hot and cold water to a convenient exterior connection—perfect for rinsing off sandy feet, washing dogs, or cleaning outdoor gear without tracking mess inside.
