ENTEGRA ANTHEM RATTLES

Hi! My friend recently purchased the Anthem and has been having some issues with it..He has already taken it in for problems and they could not fix them. Yesterday, he mentioned that there were a lot of rattles..He has had this RV for less than 2 months. His bus conversion that he had for years and that he used for a trade-in was super quiet. He will be 81 years old next month and should be enjoying instead of stressing..Anyone know if this is common because of the construction allowances for swaying and bumps? Thank you!
  • If he is coming out of a bus conversion (prevost) and looking for the same quiet ride in a class A coach he simply will not find it unless he moves to a Foretravel, Wanderlodge ect......At 81, just get in and enjoy it! Rattles and squeaks are simply common in almost any manufacturer
  • Just wondering if this is a real post or a troll. I don't know too many 81 year olds that are out buying brand new 43-45 foot motorhomes. Just a random observation.
  • I visited that factory last August to look at the Entegra Line. After seeing their construction method, I decided that I could not in good faith ever buy one of these motorhomes. They are using construction methods that are 20 years old. I do admit though, that their final fit and finish looks real good.
  • I agree a few more details would be helpful and suggest you post this on the Entrgra Owner's Forum over on iRV2:

    There are a lot of folks there with first hand knowledge and IIRC some models had an initial rattle that has since been corrected. Hope your friend gets this resolved quickly.

    Where did he take it? Did he contact Joyce at Entegra? What specifically is rattling?

    Your post is very vague so we would need more details. Entegra has a reputation as being a very quiet coach and those that I have driven have been extremely quiet. More details would be helpful.

    Isn't Entgra coache's main claim to fame is that they are super quiet? I remember seeing an ad something like "hear the roar of the engine, the wind etc. Not in an entraga" or something like that.
