Difference between a 2022 Accolade and 2022 Accolade XL

[randystu]

I am getting a new Accolade XL and was wondering what the differences between a 2022 Accolade and 2022 Accolade XL are?


I can't find much anywhere on the internet.



Thanks all.

Here you go, right from the factory to compare the two. https://www.entegracoach.com/motorhomes/accoladexl/

I saw that but it doesn't show the 2022 Accolade, just the 2021 so I would be comparing the 2021 Accolade with a 2022 Accolade XL. And the website description on the 2022 Accolade XL is not accurate. I know this because my dealer gave me an upgrade sheet on the 2022 Accolade and it lists things that this Accolade would have that the 2022 XL would not.

The difference between the Accolade and Accolade XL narrows in 2022. For instance both now have standard 190 watt solar, not just solar prep. Both have two 15k btu A/C's with heat pumps, in 2021 that was XL only. Both now have induction cooktops, previously the regular Accolade had 3 burner propane.

The XL will have a Girard awning and
250 Aquahot. There is no onboard propane, so no gas/electric refrigerator option for the XL.

One salesman in Tampa told me the cabinets are deeper on the XL but I haven't seen the two side by side to compare.

Paint schemes differ too.

Thanks, that was what I was looking for

Actually that does not list the Accolade XL, just the Accolade.

Is there a list like that for the Accolade XL?

That is the entire brochure for the Entegra line listing changes fort 2022. I spoke to the factory rep, twice now. The XL gets the same changes that the regular Accolade gets as long as they are applicable. I listed them above. I extensively researched and compared the two before deciding and ordering the regular XL as I'm not ready to give up propane nor deal with an residential refrigerator with the amount of boondocking I like to do

[randystu]

Don't you mean by saying a regular XL you mean the accolade? There is no regular XL. But there is accolade and a accolade xl. With both now having the same fridge and cooktop, I don't think any of them have propane now.

[El Chapo]

I do mean regular Accolade. And the regular Accolade does still have propane as it does not have aquahot, it has a 10 gal dsi water heater. I'm not happy they switched the stove to induction but there's no choice. And you can option an RV fridge (110 electric/gas absorbtion) in the regular Accolade, which is how I ordered mine.

The standard Accolade, in 2022, get the same A/C's and induction cooktop. The rest are very nice but, IMHO, not $20k+ nicer. But even if it was free, I would order the standard Accolade. I'm a boondocker and propane makes life easier, no matter how much solar one has.

It is nice to have choices though.
