I have found the coach to be excellent, and the factory support is unbelievably outstanding. How many companies will send a tech to your house to fix a warranty problem? That's what Entegra did for me.

Would I buy another Entegra? You bet I would.

I have done extensive research looking at new coaches
Entegra is #1 on my list Newmar and Tiffin are second/third or third/second

Entegra anthem apples to apples is cheaper in price than newmar or tiffin and as good or better
Best insulation factor of all out there

We have toured the Entegra factory and the Newmar factory and done a ton of tire kicking of both brands. For us, those are the only two on our short list of potential units. Both are high quality and both have a great reputation for customer service.

As you can see from my post I own a TS the original company that Jayco bought to build the Entegra, they took many of the good employees from TS and they still provide support to the owners of TS.

The Coach design is excellent and they allow a lot of customization still, or so the sales force has said.

I would shop for a good price and if you have a chance visit the factory in Indiana and check them out to see for yourself, IMHO the time would be well spent.

Seems like you had some issues. I don't know what happened but just saying "I don't like them" doesn't really help the OP here. I wonder if the CEO of Boeing has a jet or the CEO of Chapparal possibly living full time on a yacht? Even if it were the case what difference does it make? The CEO's job is to make sure the company remains viable not live with the clients!

Not trying to start something with you but constructive feedback is well, constructive. Maybe I will run into one of the Walton's next time I am at Walmart. Hahahaa.

Correct. They are building a good reputation.

Just went through this process myself. Was looking at Entegra and I am sure you will be happy. My understanding is that they are formed from mostly precious Newmar employees.

I eventually chose a truly clean 2009 Newmar dutch star with only 20k on it. I don't know your experience with coaches or RV'ing in general but it may make sense to give things a go with a little less investment up front.

Would caution you that anything relatively new will prob require several "adjustments" up to you but there are several really nice coaches out there for half the budget you are talking. Once you give that a go as I am then you will have some time to determine wants and needs on a newer and higher priced coach.

A big plus with Entegra coaches is the side radiator. Easy access to the engine. Compare side to rear radiators on coaches for access before you decide.

We have a 2012 we bought pre-owned in 2013. We have had it two years and it's been virtually trouble free. The few issues we had Lazy Days took care of. None of them related to Entegra Coach construction. Entegra Coach customer service can't be beat in my opinion.
