We actually have the same, so I'd say it is common. No injuries, but DW says it is a PITA when vacuuming.

Our Summer home

Haven't stayed at Mountaindale before, however been by the place several times. Its across from Fort Carson so you may hear early morning cannon fire and UH-60s.
Lots of places to explore around that area. If you want to do rafting on the Arkansas river, lots of good guide services. The water starts going down by the end of June, so get on early!
If you want to come up to the northern mountains, we will be glad to show you around!

Joe.. Ski Town.. Is that Steamboat? We don't own an Entegra but its predecessor a Travel Supreme.. Wish I could afford a New Entegra.. I have been lurking here for a year.. Just picking up information..
We generally stay in Steamboat for 2 weeks in the summer at Stagecoach SP. We tow our pontoon over and really enjoy the area.. And try to get to Strawberry Park 3 or 4 times while we are there.. We are there this year over the fourth.. Your city puts on quite a fireworks show..
Didn't mean to hijack this thread but wanted to say I like your town..
BTW where did you order your Entegra?

Thanks for the plug for Steamboat!
We ordered our Entegra from Lazydays - Tucson. We take delivery in 2 weeks after we get done playing on the river.

Joe..
We "Snow Bird" on Lake Havasu in the winter..Generally from the end of January till 1st of April.. We are then going over to Tucson and then up to Dead Horse State Park in Cottonwood.. We take our Pontoon down with us and enjoy almost 3 months of tooning all over the Lake and below the Dam down to Parker... Really nice that time of year cause we don't really get in the water but like riding on it..
Enjoy Steamboat this summer we will..

We had plenty of needed rain in Houston for several days

2015 Anthem was dry except for driver TOLL sliding window bottom tracks. Entegra told me this is normal but after they looked at my pictures it seemed high to them . Entegra dialog on this weeping water down TOLL window tracks to weep hole continues, no final Entegra position yet???

I would like to get new TOLL window seal strip on side of TOLL window that opens. I have found the seal strip does not butt up flush to metal vertical Tee. Downward slope of that seal shelf to Tee just acts like a gutter and flows water right to the gap and into the bottom tracks. Full stream flow in outside track and next track over drips water through window track brush guides . If the weep whole plugged all the water would end up inside !!! Entegra had me do a glass of water test in tracks, but I had to pour slowly to prevent over flow. Weep hole is functioning .

Adding some pictures, have others had this problem????

Thanks !!!! in advance !!!

I have been in a lot of rain the past two weeks while stationary in Memphis. My RV does not leak except it leaks like crazy from the vicinity of the electrical panel above the driver (toll) window. This is the third or fourth Anthem I have heard with the same issue in 2014. I have a warranty repair appointment next week and I 'll be interested in the remedy. I have already tried sealing small holes around the left front corner of the cap and roof with no success. I chased leaks on my previous Aspire and I plan on being relentless on this leak. I wonder what they are doing consistently wrong at the factory around the driver window/cap area? On my previous Aspire I found several holes in the cap without screws and my clearance lights leaked onto the dash. I know there is a pressurizing device some RV shops have that allows you to blow higher pressure air inside the RV and a guy walks around with a squirt bottle of soapy water on the outside squirting everything looking for bubbles. IMHO that's the only way to find these difficult leaks! Here's one of them....,

Yes I have the same exact issue.

Water fills up the lower track and proceeds out the weep hole.

It is strange seeing water flowing inside a luxury coach and being told by the manufacturer "that is the way it was designed"

So yes during rain storms my drivers window lower track flows with water

Every Entegra coach should so the same according to CS.

We had that test - or one similar - on our Aspire. We were picking the coach up after some minor warranty work and an exterior detail at the local shop last year and discovered a wet cockpit. They took it right back, ran some type of pressure test and we had a dry coach a few days later. I made them leave it in the wash bay until we got there, then I turned a hose on it - full pressure. Sprayed all windows then went up on a lift and blasted the roof area. Moved a lot of water over the coach for about 30 minutes total. They weren't real happy with an old lady climbing around their shop but I didn't give them a whole lot of choice in the matter. Water leaks scare me. Not one drop inside - or since. Everything was covered under warranty - I'd really recommend having a test done if you are chasing a leak.

Are you indicating you do not have any water in the drivers window inside bottom channel when water is applies to the outside?

There was some in that channel, but very little - and I had a pretty high force of water blasting right on that window. They did tell me that a little wet was normal. It wasn't enough to even wet the bottom of the channel completely so I didn't argue with them. We hit some pretty heavy rain on a trip shortly after that - and didn't have enough moisture that we even noticed it. We haven't had the coach out since last fall but we have it at home now for a good cleaning. Rick will be washing the coach so I can let you know if he sees any moisture after spraying the window.

[brobox]

We have spent about about 5 days/night sin rain with our Anthem and no water in the window yet. The Travel Supreme had a little in VERY hard rain as it got older, but nothing I got concerened about as it did drain out and it didn't happen very often, but HogDriver's is too much and it the wrong place.
