Good writeup. Just confirms what I have said here before: people - do not expect to show up for your coach one day and drive home the next. These things are complicated and it takes many days to get them squared away when new. Plan to stay awhile as this is done. If you plan for it it will be much easier on you.

I guess any items are too many, but in my watching this forum for 17 months, items ID'd are on the low side, given a pretty detailed inspection and a pretty good walk through with MHSRV. I know when it is your coach you want it perfect.

Multiple forums, including this one, I've never read of anyone having a scratched windshield...that's a head scratcher. I can see getting a couple of rock strikes en route to TX. Glad to hear they were able to get most all other stuff fixed. I see that yours is a midnight illusion, not completely black...what was the custom paint?

1> No induction cooktop, normal Kenyon unit, works fine.

2> I asked for and got Midnight Illusion paint, and it came with a dark charcoal mixed in. Not a special request by me, this is just the way it came and I sure like it :-)

Everybody keep sharing!!! Thanks !!!

3> YES, Progressive EMA saved me too many times with NUWA 5th wheel over seven years, you need the separation protection up front for 50amp in. Would never be without it . Never had too replace Progressive EMS either. Just had to disconnect from bad electric and hook up to good . I had hard wired EMS unit with remote located inside 5th wheel at control panel. Debating to use hard wired and remote this time or portable for all the talked about reasons.

Some of the swirls "fade" to black as part of the color scheme in the Midnight illusion; however, with the new camou look to the Cornerstone, they may have modified to something like that. in any event, the MI looks stunning, particularly with the stainless bottoms. Really makes the colors stand out. Congrats an your new coach.

2015 Entegra Anthem small DEF door

I want all coach access locked just like my cars

Nothing is perfect but vandal prevention / make it hard for them is what I want. No siphoned Diesel or DEF, or sugar in my tanks.

  • Added two locking fuel caps
  • Small DEF door lock
  • Looking for means to securely lock engine access swing up door
Extra measure of protection for a high dollar MH , just the same as my cars

I got yours confused with WDE on the custom paint...sorry. MI is still #1 in my books.

Where did you purchase your locking fuel caps and part number?

Not so concerned about fuel theft, but a locking cap does prevent me from driving off without the fuel cap

Personally, we would never have concerns about someone stealing gas or DEF or anything else for that matter. In over 10+ years of RVing we have stayed at high-end parks, low-end parks, Walmart parking lots and campgrounds. We travel with 2 Harley's and bicycles that are never locked up. When at a camp site we leave table, chairs, bicycles, barbeque, etc. on our site. We don't lock up our truck at night and often don't lock our coach. We have never once had any stolen. I really can't imagine someone walking onto our site and stealing DEF - because that would imply that it was another camper. Maybe we are too trusting, but in my opinion I would rather have it that way then have to bother with locks. Obviously everyone has a different level of comfort in this area.

Wade & Ann,

When and where are you coming to Colorado. We should be back from picking up our Anthem sometime around the 22nd- 24th. We would love to meet up and compare notes. We live in the north part of the Colorado mountains, in Steamboat Springs.

I agree. The last thing I would ever worry about is someone stealing DEF!! Maybe I should worry more, lol.
