Made the switch from Entegra to Newmar

We picked up our '17 DSDP 4369 yesterday and are in love with it! The ride quality is just incredible, and Comfort Drive takes all the work out of managing crosswinds and being passed by semis. The Entegra offered very good value, but we were plagued by many problems, including the tendency for it to wander at highway speeds. Having a coach that drives straight down the road at 65 mph is unbelievably relaxing to drive. I actually felt myself becoming a little drowsy on the 2.5 hr drive home yesterday, something that seldom happened while driving the Entegra . This floorpan is perfect with no pinch points, and it drives like a dream.

I would recommend Steinbring Motorcoach to anyone looking for a coach. We were local but I see from their sales map that their customers come from all over the U.S. and Canada. Their pricing with trade was better than NIRVC or RVOne, so it was an easy choice for us to make.

Beautiful coach! If you had to choose one item you made the switch for, what would it be? Comfort Drive or something else?

That is the first negative thing I've heard about Entegra Coach.

A little different scheme but the same colors as ours. Congrats and many happy miles.

Beautiful coach. The 4369 is my favorite floor plan and the one I would choose in a new coach.

My Entegra drives straight as an arrow, but crosswinds and road crown do require compensation. So you might say I have Comfort Drive envy. However DW likes the Entegra floorplans better, the bedroom ceiling fan, and the bulletproof 2 year warranty, so despite the CD envy, our next coach is likely to be an Entagra. (Maybe if the DW drove, we would go Newmar.)

The one thing that kept me from looking at a Cornerstone was Entegra's refusal to make any changes and one of the things we liked about both our DSDP's.
My one "gripe" about the Magna is the height of the floor to accommodate the ISX height and the bed slideout. Late wife didn't like it either and I built a platform over one spot so she didn't fall.
