Jayco Greyhawk XL vs Entegra Accolade
Jayco Greyhawk XL vs. Entegra Accolade: Which Super C Motorhome Should You Buy?
A Super C is what happens when you want Class A room with a truck-style nose and the confidence of a diesel. The Jayco Greyhawk XL 32U and the Entegra Coach Accolade 33J are both about 34 feet long with a 12,000-pound hitch, but they're built on very different chassis. For buyers who want a Super C that's easier to drive, park and take into the mountains, the Greyhawk XL is the better pick: it rides on a four-wheel-drive diesel truck chassis, stands 10 inches lower and includes a 6,000W diesel generator. The Accolade is the heavier-duty coach, with much larger tanks, a 100-gallon fuel tank and a 43,000-pound GCWR on a medium-duty diesel chassis with air brakes.
Choose the Jayco Greyhawk XL if you:
- Want four-wheel drive for snowy passes, wet campgrounds and gravel roads
- Prefer driving a pickup-style chassis to a medium-duty truck
- Need a lower 12-foot-6-inch height
- Want a 6,000W diesel generator with auto start included
Choose the Entegra Accolade if you:
- Dry camp for long stretches and want 72 gallons of fresh water
- Tow a heavy trailer or large vehicle and want a 43,000-pound GCWR
- Want air brakes, rear air suspension and a 100-gallon fuel tank
- Plan to load the coach heavily under a 31,000-pound GVWR

Which Super C carries and tows more: the Greyhawk XL or the Accolade?
The Entegra Accolade, by a wide margin. Entegra Coach lists a 31,000-pound GVWR and a 43,000-pound GCWR for the Accolade 33J, compared with 19,500 and 31,500 pounds for the Greyhawk XL 32U. The Accolade also carries 72 gallons of fresh water, 51 of black and 100 of fuel.
- Towing: both list a 12,000-pound hitch receiver, but the Accolade GCWR leaves more room for a heavily loaded coach plus a heavy trailer.
- Chassis hardware: the Accolade uses full air brakes, rear air suspension, an engine exhaust brake and a 360-horsepower diesel with an automatic transmission built for medium-duty trucks.
- Greyhawk XL upgrade: Jayco offers a heavier truck chassis option for the 32U, and the bunkhouse 33F comes standard on it, with a 22,000-pound GVWR and a 34,000-pound GCWR.

Jayco Greyhawk XL vs. Accolade on the road: which is easier to drive and take off pavement?
The Jayco Greyhawk XL wins this one. It rides on a four-wheel-drive diesel truck chassis with 330 horsepower, 950 lb-ft of torque and a 10-speed automatic, which gives it traction for wet grass sites, gravel roads and snowy passes. At 12 feet 6 inches tall and 33 feet 5 inches long, it's also 10 inches lower and 9 inches shorter than the Accolade 33J.
- Greyhawk XL ride package: a computer-balanced driveshaft, heavy-duty rear and front stabilizer bars and helper springs.
- Integrated trailer brake controller: built into the Greyhawk XL chassis for towing.
- Accolade ride: rear air suspension, a heavy-duty rear stabilizer bar and performance shocks smooth out highway miles on the heavier chassis.
What is it like to live with the Greyhawk XL or the Accolade?
Both are full-size Super C coaches with slide-outs, a rear bedroom and an 84-inch ceiling, so daily living feels close to a Class A. The differences are in equipment and capacity.
Living with the 2027 Greyhawk XL 32U:
- Front living area, midship kitchen and rear bedroom with a 66 x 77 inch king bed; sleeps up to five with a 750-pound overhead bunk
- A 15,000 BTU ducted A/C with heat pump, a 30,000 BTU furnace and a tankless water heater
- Hydraulic auto-leveling jacks, a 2,000W inverter, 200W of solar and 58 cubic feet of exterior storage in seven compartments
Living with the 2027 Accolade 33J:
- A power-lift king bed in the rear suite and a residential refrigerator
- A two-burner induction cooktop and a 30,000 BTU furnace
- Automatic hydraulic leveling jacks and a touchscreen coach control system with a mobile app
Walkthrough tip: Sit in each driver's seat and check sightlines over the hood and in the mirrors. A truck-style chassis and a medium-duty chassis feel very different from the cockpit.
Which costs less to own: the Greyhawk XL or the Accolade?
The Greyhawk XL should be the lighter, less involved chassis to run day to day, while the Accolade brings medium-duty hardware with its own service needs. Both use diesel and diesel exhaust fluid.
- Fuel use: the Greyhawk XL is far lighter, which typically helps fuel use; the Accolade carries a larger tank for longer range.
- Service: the Accolade uses air brakes and air suspension, which add inspection items; the Greyhawk XL follows a heavy-duty pickup-style service schedule.
- Generator: the Greyhawk XL generator draws from its diesel tank.
For pricing on either motorhome and the coverage terms each manufacturer offers, compare current details with the dealership.
Jayco Greyhawk XL and Entegra Accolade recalls: how to check a Super C
Super C recalls can come from the coach builder, the chassis maker or the engine maker, so check all three. Run the exact motorhome's VIN through NHTSA's recall lookup before you sign, and ask the dealership to confirm that any open campaign has been completed. Recall repairs are done at no charge.
Driving a Super C out of Kent, WA: national park limits and winter passes
Size rules shape where a Super C can go from Kent, and both of these coaches sit near the upper limit for Mount Rainier. The Greyhawk XL adds four-wheel drive for the mountain roads that lead there.
- Mount Rainier: Cougar Rock Campground lists a 35-foot limit for motorhomes. The Greyhawk XL 32U fits with about 19 inches to spare, and the Accolade 33J with about 10 inches, so book a site that suits a coach this size.
- Winter passes: both are well over 10,000 pounds GVWR, so Washington requires them to carry chains on designated passes like Snoqualmie from November 1 to April 1.

Greyhawk XL or Accolade: which one should you buy?
