All they are doing is competing with companies like Tiffin and Newmar. It seems odd to be critical of any company that is just offering competing lines. That competition is what keeps, or should keep, others honest.
My problem is they are passing off cheap Thor products under the Entegra name. I was at the Tampa RV Show yesterday and had a chance to view this first hand. The gas coach is nothing but a Thor Challenger with Entegra name and $7,800 increased price over the Challenger two isles away, same unit. The class C resembled a Four Winds unit with Entegra badging and $3.200 increase in price.
As hard as you want to be a loyalist, when your brand sells out - they aren't the same product anymore now matter how hard you think they isolate themselves from the rest of the company. It doesn't mean the product you are loyal to will take a dive, but it does mean they are free to do with it what they want.
I just saw some pictures of the interior of a new 2018 Cornerstone that a friend took in Tampa at the Show and the interior looks pretty mundane for a Motorhome that lists in the $700,000 range. I was surprised how downgraded it was from what I have seen in the Cornerstone in the past. Sad, but many here who have predicted that Entegra will become more Thor like may very well be right.
