I agree, the Entegra group on here is a very active and supportive group, it's fun to watch. Once you get your hands on your new London Aire and start posting, I think you will be happy at the nice reception that you will receive here. Since the LA is a new model, you won't have the luxury of experienced owners who have already seen the problem you may be having. There are some extremely experienced posters on here and I think they can figure just about anything out.

Welcome to Newmar, and we can't wait to hear the first impressions of your new coach!!

Welcome to Newmar, and we can't wait to hear the first impressions of your new coach!!
Thank you! One nice thing there are a lot of items on the LA that are common to other Newmar coaches. I hope that will mean the transition is smooth. I am betting it will be.

One of the main reasons we are going with CS over LA is that the LA is a new model with a new chassis. I do not want a first year coach and everything that I am reading the CS is solid and the two year warranty is especially compelling to us. I know that both manufactures build great coaches so it is hard to go wrong! :-)

Saw both the LA and KA at North Trail this past wk end. fantastic! i'm going back and forth only due to price points. going to linger for a while as i'm not in a rush. will be interested in seeing more LA posts. This group of writers is awesome. Each loves their own coach yet full supports the others. i am looking forward to being a more full time rv-er for this very reason. it has been the case in the trips we've made and others we've met.

The Chassis is not new to this model. It was in production prior to the LA and a proven chassis for sure. One of my factors was FL is so much bigger than spartan and tons more service centers. Again as everyone says, they are both great and cant go wrong either way.

We were in the same boat. My thought was just go to the KA and be done. One of the main differences is the SLR chassis vs the K3-GT on the KA. After talking to FL engineering and comparing I guess I came to a "how much is enough" question. For us we felt the LA would save some money and not too much sacrificing. One of the things I love on the KA is the basement height of 33". I was surprised to see the LA has the same dimension.

Good luck with your decision. Its a tough one.

You will appreciate the 33" basement height right from the start, much easier to access!!

Yes we are really looking forward to that. Going from 24" to 33" is a huge jump. When I looked at the LA it was shocking how big the opening was. My head will appreciate it.LOL
