Anyone have any idea how many 2008 TS ME's were produced. They appear to have made a few nice changes to the 2008's, but i doubt there were many produced.

My understanding from posts on iRV2 is they made 12. The first, which I am fortunate to own, was the demo model decked out in Harley-Davidson orange/silver with grey & metallic black. It is a 2005 Spartan frame, but was officially a 2006 model.

Hi Everyone,
I always wondered how many ME's were produced. Last October I was at the Spartan Chassis Class in Charlotte, MI for a week. One of the instructors (an Electrical Engineer) who was going over the main components of our Spartan Chassis had actually worked for Travel Supreme back in the day and informed me that "He" himself had probably wired my whole RV. I was quite impressed with his knowledge of where a lot of the wiring was run inside my unit.
Now I'm not exactly sure, but I recall either myself, or my girlfriend brought up the question of how many ME's were produced. I want to say I thought I had read about the number "12" being the amount of units built, and said that to the Engineer, but I believe he said there were more than that. I'm going to try and contact him again and ask if he recalls the amount built.

Regardless, I love my 2006 ME

I think there were probably more than 12. There are 7 or 8 listed for sale now. The 2008 has a 1 piece windshield - a newer from cap, and some upgraded interior items.

This may be a dumb question but exactly where is the motor located on these mid engines? I have a hard time understanding why the motor would not be in the rear??

The engine is located ahead of the Diff, from inside the coach the engine hatch is in the floor across from the refrigerator.

The REASON for the motor to be mounted mid-ship is to allow room in the rear to haul a small car.
