At what point did Entegra changeover the 2015 Anthem stovetop from resistive heat burners to the induction burners? Was this one of those early 2016 items that got into late 15 models or was there always a choice of stovetops?

Any significant differences between 2015 and 2016 Anthems other than fancy end caps?

Our 15 Anthem was completed in Dec ‘14 and has a conventional resistive cooktop, but I think I have seen or heard of ‘15s with induction. Not aware that there was ever a choice.

We do have some of the ‘16 changes to the entertainment system, but not the cooktop.

I also have a 15 and the older cooktop. I'm actually ok with it, I can put both burners on high and really have both boiling if I wanted to. Yes, it takes awhile to cool off when you turn it off, but, what the hay. In the 16's I think that was the first time they put the glow lights around the end of the kitchen, bathroom, fireplace counter tops. Also, the outside window shades have a box type ending instead of the round endings that the 15's and below had. They also have a somwhat different looking wet bay ... not sure if it was the first year of the macerator, but I think so. And of course, 15 was the last year for the Travel Supreme end caps ... now going on a Thor, I believe. Vega touch ... not sure if that was 16 or 17??

The Vega touch (iPad) was a $5k option on the 16 Anthems (not sure if it was standard on Cornerstones). We ordered our 16 Anthem w/o it. Believe they became standard on 17 Anthems. 16s+ also have an electric engine hatch.

Our 15 came off the line and surprised us with induction. We love it.

Our 15 Anthem has induction.

Our '15 Anthem came off the line in mid January of 16 and had the upgraded induction cooktop installed (which was a '16 standard unit) but because our coach came off the line late in production was equipped with the '16 equipment. It appears that the change-over occurred sometime in December or early January.
