Take a closer lookThe 2009 Itasca Ellipse® delivers all of the SmartSpace™ design features you’d expect from a luxury Itasca motor home. But to truly

appreciate a luxury motor coach, you need to look beneath all of the upscale amenities. And there’s no better foundation than the

Maxum® Chassis found in the Itasca Ellipse. Its powerful 400-hp Cummins® diesel engine and 6-speed Allison® transmission deliver

an uncommonly smooth performance while the chassis design provides more exterior storage than you might have thought possible.

Inside you’ll fi nd spacious diesel-pusher comfort, especially in the 40WD full-wall slide that is so large you almost won’t believe

your eyes. It’s time to treat yourself to the luxury and performance of a 2009 Itasca Ellipse.

1 The height of each model is measured to the top of the tallest standard feature and is based on the curb weight of a typically equipped unit. The actual height of your vehicle may vary by several inches depending on chassis or equipment variations. Please contact your dealer for further information.

2 Ellipse fl oorplans feature a wide-body design – over 96." In making your purchase decision, you should be aware that some states restrict access on some or all state roads to 96" in body width. Before making your purchase decision, you should confi rm the road usage laws in the states of interest to you.

3 The load capacity of your motor home is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading your motor home.

4 Capacities are based on measurements prior to tank installation. Slight capacity variations can result due to installation applications.

5 Capacities shown are tank manufacturer’s listed water capacity (W.C.). Actual fi lled LP capacity is 80% of listing due to overfi lling prevention device on tank.

6 Actual towing capacity is dependent on your particular loading and towing circumstances which includes the GVWR, GAWR, and GCWR as well as adequate trailer brakes. Please refer to the Operator’s Manual of your vehicle for further towing information.
