2020 Entegra Esteem 29V Questions

[TGiboney]

We are looking at a 2020 Entegra Esteem 29 V. Because of all our present situations we are unable to travel 6 hours right now to look at the closest one and we are unable to find some questions online. And the few dealers that I have reached out to have to responded, guessing they are struggling with our situation too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where are the house batteries located? I am assuming they are under the stairs but not 100% sure.

How many and what size house batteries can the unit have?

Are the batteries hard to get to maintain?

Does anyone know if Entegra has an unadvertised option for a free standing dining and chairs vice the booth?

Does the Ford E450 come with a TPMS system?

Once again thank you for you help.

Why not ask the manufacturer, Entegra Coach?

I have a 2019 Esteem 29V and I can answer.

The RV comes with one 12 V battery. It is located under the step. There are no issues getting to it to service it. You can add a second battery as I have done as there is room in the compartment. I did mine aftermarket for less than buying one from the dealer.

I don’t know about if there is an option for the dinette. I seem to remember that was not an option but changing the sofa to a reclining love seat was. That’s a question to ask Entegra.

My 2019 E 450 did not come with TPMS. I had it added along with extended metal valve stems to make tire pressure checking easier. One other thing I thought odd was that it didn’t come with aluminum wheels although they were an option. I added mine aftermarket as it was considerably cheaper.

You can PM me if you have further questions I can answer. I have found my Esteem to be a nice quality unit. I’ve been enjoying it for just over a year now. My selling dealer, not so much.

How many and what size house batteries can the unit have?

Are the batteries hard to get to maintain? No but I did add second battery 12 volt and installed watering system. Makes quick work of adding water to both.

Does anyone know if Entegra has an unadvertised option for a free standing dining and chairs vice the booth? They did not when our 2020 was built. Very few options available. Get second ac unit if you do any warm weather areas.

Does the Ford E450 come with a TPMS system? No it does not. Can’t be added easily.

Once again thank you for you help.

Bought ours through rvone out of Iowa. Could not beat their price and pick up was very smooth. We are in Houston so spent 2 days in town rv park then 10 week shake down trip. Could not be happier with unit.

Enjoy the journey

Thank you all and with your help we found one 4.5 hours away in Iowa that we are going to go look at this upcoming Saturday

[OlYeller]

I typed in 29C, I met 29V.

On You Tube, Angie from NIRV gives a pretty good break down on Esteem 29V. The battery compartment is at the 11:10 mark. Hopefully, I'll be diving mine home this Saturday.

I don’t know off the top of my head. I’m heading to mine either later today or tomorrow so if no one else answers I will then.
