The Anthem isn't a quarter horse, but it's a pretty good horse. I'm on 6500 mi of an 8000 mi trip. Been over the Cascades, the Rockies, and a couple of mountain ranges I've forgotten. The only times I slowed to 30mph was by choice like along the Oregon coast. The only motorhome that has passed us in 6500 mi is one Prevost. We have averaged 8.1 mpg on fuel and we pull a full size pickup. Don't get me wrong I'd like to have a cs 45j but so far I can't justify the $170,000 to trade. All JMHO as Gene would say. Noel

I'm with you Noel.....until I get power lust. When the 2017 Cornerstones come out with 750hp, I'm in.

I wish I could, but I can't. Still in the prime earning years in my career. But, true, that if an unexpected event happens, such as health changes with the DW or myself, or an unplanned change in employment, then who knows.

So, I'll plan on a $250K budget for 5 years from now. If that plan works out, then I may be able to go for a 5-year old CS or an 8-year old Foretravel. If the budget gets extra money, I could go for a 4 year-old CS or younger 6-7 year-old Foretravel. At no point would I buy a 3-year old or younger CS. No need to pay the extra to get practically the same coach as those buying used. I don't need a new coach ... Translation, I can't afford a new CS

FWIW, my first insight is that the Cornerstone, as the flag product for Entegra, has been designed and built to make sure it provides more value than just a better chassis, engine, than on the Anthem. I think Entegra has to build in lots of quality for the CS in order to be a competitor to someone like Newmar. A competitor that has at least two more models at a higher price point, Essex and King Aire. In addition, because of my other insight below, I believe that the CS has extra quality already built in so people are ready to accept Entegra as they grow their company into new markets. I bet you their Product Management and Marketing Departments made that Business Case and Analysis when the Cornerstone went into early Project Planning ... So, that is one of the reasons that I also like the CS.

Here is that additional insight. I predict that Entegra will have a model above the Cornerstone for the 2017 model year. I believe that model will have the quality of the King Aire, at the price of an Essex, and will therefore be a competitor to both Newmar top models. I believe it will have an option for a larger than 600 HP engine ... I also believe that it will have the Comfort Drive or equivalent technology as well. It needs that right off the bat to compete with the more expensive Newmar models ...

Hey, I should be a Product Manager for Entegra ... I wonder what percentage deduction towards a CS employees at Entegra get? ...
