A better diesel motor home. Itasca proudly introduces the Ellipse, an all-new diesel pusher built on our exclusive Evolution™ Chassis. Four distinct models, including a quad-slideout design, allow more diesel enthusiasts to experience this revolutionary chassis than ever before. Its formed-steel chassis rail construction works in conjunction with our SmartSpace™ design philosophy to bring you more amenities and exceptional mid-section storage. Factor in features like solid-surface countertops, vinyl tile floorcovering, opposing flat floors in the living room, and over 7’2” of interior ceiling height and you’ll be proud to call the 2006 Itasca Ellipse your home on the road.

The floorplan variety of the Ellipse gives you the option of the classic, front overhead entertainment center or a stand-alone entertainment center in the 40FD. Both configurations include a 27" Sony® flat-screen TV, DVD/VCR combo and the Sony Home Theater Sound System. For optimal comfort, select the Euro Chair with ottoman by Flexsteel.® All of the furniture can be upgraded with the super soft and durable UltraLeather HP.™  To maintain a comfortable climate, Ellipse comes with floor-ducted heating, ceiling-ducted TrueAir® residential central air conditioning. Compared to roof air conditioning, TrueAir cools 40 percent faster and runs 10 percent quieter. Dual-glazed windows increase the coach’s thermal efficiency and come dressed with day/night pleated shades for privacy.

Every Ellipse bedroom features a rear slideout with a Vantage Point® Sleep Number® bed by Select Comfort.™ The slideout in the 40KD creates a bedroom large enough to accommodate an available king-size bed by Select Comfort.® The bedroom also contains a 20" flat-screen TV. It is wired to the front DVD/VCR combo which can be operated with your bedroom remote. A 20" LCD screen in the 36RD and 40FD.

For added storage and countertop space, the 36RD and 40FD offer a pullout island cabinet with a solid- surface countertop, while the 40KD features a rollout storage bin. The drawers come with full-extension slides for easy access. The standard, double-door refrigerator/freezer can be upgraded to a four-door model with icemaker. The pullout pantries are perfect for spices and snacks. Clear, refreshing Everpure® filtered water comes with its own faucet. Other stylish touches include solid-surface countertops and vinyl tile floorcovering.

     
The StoreMore slideout system allows exterior storage compartments to move with the slideout so you don’t have to crawl under the slideroom to retrieve your gear.
