Travel Supreme Select Limited

[lowejug]

Wow ... motorcoach store in Florida just posted a
2008 travel supreme select model and it says its a limited edition...

What a piece of art... it looks massive and so well built..
13,2 tall.. has a 200 gallon fuel tank.. now that’s a coach.
As a entegra owner you gotta sneak a peak at this era of coach building and the roots of entegra...

That is very nice. Same paint as 2013 Cornerstone. I wish my 2015 had some of the features that 2008 has like power window awnings ,manifold water system , macerator hose reel,better placement of aqua hot and more storage.....but I do like my floor plan better. TS really maybe nice coaches

Paint was like a tank too, tough as nails. Coaches were way ahead of their time and really luxury for the day. We loved ours, should have kept it and just updated the technology some.

X2 you don't know how many times we have said the same thing. Unbelievably well built coach. The Sherwin Williams paint never dinged or scratched just from normal use. Nice to see they are still holding their value and demand. The ad I looked at this morning at LD had already sold, listed at $200,000.

Believe the TS Select had the sweet ISM too, a great compromise between power and torque with a lighter weight engine block, compared to the ISX 15L of that era.

Do I recall that some had problems with windshields popping out, and required some after build attention by TS? (X-Brace or something like that?).

We looked at a 38' TS with ISL, before deciding on our CC Allure, it was a well build coach.

Best to all,
Smitty

Looking at that has us pondering.....

I looked at a 2009 Travel Supreme Select before buying my first Entegra. It had the same floor plan as the 2015 Aspire I ended up with (a DLQ) except the appointments in the TS were superior - for example, the counters were granite, which is far superior to the eoxy junk we have. I did not buy it because the entire right side had fiberglass defects, likely caused by the poor fiberglass that so many manufacturers had at that time. It would have cost 25k to reskin it and we decided to pass.

The Travel Supreme Select Limited we looked at 2009 had the ISX 15 engine.

I blew adding that I was looking a pre heavy smog updated engined coaches. This as back 7-10 years ago now, and we were focusing on 2006 and before. I admit, I don't know if they had ISX's in 2006(?), in TS Select. I do know they had the ISM 500, which I respected then - and now!

Not knocking the ISX's, sure they had some years with problems with #6 valve destruction. But, the ISX has been around in many other years and HP ratings - with no major problems.

And, I should not have sidetracked the intent of the thread, which is that TS & TS Select coaches - were well made and appointed coaches!

Not a 2009 Travel Supreme? I thought they went under before making any 2009 models. Jayco, when they bought the assets did get a few coaches that were on the line when it shut down. They finished those and maybe they were considered 2009s, the Entegra name did not appear for a while. It would have been very few and they would be rare. Of course, I may be all wet and wrong, my memory is not as good as it used to be. I thought they went under in early 2008. All JMHO

You're right It was Jan, 2008 https://indianaeconomicdigest.com/ma...rticleID=38924.

Entegra did not start limited production until 2010. Any 2009 would have been bastard coaches and can't be really contributed to either company. JMO.

When I saw it as I watch the inventory at the Motor Coach Store all the time, I thought it was one of the first Entegra Coach's.........When Entegra first came out.......they had that paint scheme on some of them, don't remember what models , but I remember the paint job. I wish it had fewer miles on it..........
2011 that paint job was out https://www.entegracoach.com/uploads...ure%202011.pdf

I had a 2006 TS and had to pay to have X bracing installed. The 2008 has it factory installed, you can see it in the basement pictures,
