2014 Cornerstone on new/upgraded K3?

[harleyman88]

I'm new here, have been reading for a while, just decided to post as I can't find my answer. We are planning to purchase a Cornerstone in the next 12-18 months. I see that their new 2014 brochure shows a new front axle under the K3 chassis. But I can't find the 2014 K3 chassis spec sheet anywhere. Not even on the Spartan website. Has anyone seen it, can send it to me? I'm an engineer and the little things are very important to me, like extra weight carrying in the front. Here's what the online brochure from Entegra says it has on it now:

Reyco Granning front axle 20,000-lb. wide track

Can anyone at least confirm that this is true? I will wait to get a 2014/15 if so as definitely want that new front axle if it truly is there. 2013 and before was only 16.6k from what I'm reading everywhere.

First Welcome to iRV2.

Since a Cornerstone is an Entegra Product, you may want to ask the question in the Jayco Owners (Entegra Forum), and you, also find a lot of discussion and info their from Entegra customers.

I was at the factory and saw the new Cornerstones coming through production. I don't know the specific spec, but saw the new axle and front wheels. The front tires are significantly wider than the previous tires and wheels, and if I remember correctly, they said the axle weight was 20000 lbs. You can confirm by calling 800-945-4787, and ask for Entegra Customer Service Sales. They can confirm and answer any other questions you might have. They're a great bunch to talk to.

And, by the way...it's a great choice and I'd be in one if I could have squirmed another $100K. It is, JMHO, a best buy at the price point and significantly higher level priced coaches.

Hmm...........thanks for the response. I'm not exactly sure how this ended up in the Tiffin area. I thought I was in the Travel Supreme forum. I was, however, on my iPad at the time. so my bad. Sorry for posting in the wrong section. I'll move my question to the Jayco forum now.
