This is a perfect example IMHO of how tastes differ because we saw a new Foretravel Realm and American Eagle at the ztampa Super Show and neither of us liked the look of the woodwork . But then we didn't like the MSRP's very much either 😀

Have you checked out the Newell or Prevost, that sounds more like what you are looking for.

I saw the Realm at the Tampa show too. Nice coach, and I really liked how the rear bathroom was laid out and how the slides were. That being said the cost of a 2016 Realm will buy you two 2016 Anthems. One to use and a spare in case you need it. :-D
If I was at retirement age and was going to full-time I would choose an Anthem or Cornerstone over a Realm, even if I had the money for the Foretravel unit. I just don't see the added value for the cost.

While I respect everyone having their own opinion and their own tastes, I find it a bit sad that someone would feel the need to be over the top, even gratuitous, with their criticism of the cabinetry of all things. My experience during my assessment of evaluating different coach brands, I found the Entegra interiors in general, and the cabinets specifically, to be as good as I have seen and better than most.
If something does not meet your particular taste, just say so. You don't have to go out of your way to take unwarranted cheap shots. In any case, I hope you find what you're looking for and wish you nothing but the best with it.

2016 Cornerstone
My new Topaz 45B Cornerstone riding the rails sideways without any clothes on! Started on the line Monday and took this today(Wednesday). Long way to go but looking good from the ground up. Was nice to see the plumbing and vent runs so I can refer to pics if any issues come up. Anyone at the factory in the next few weeks? Her number is 6B 8076, if you see her on the line take some pics and send them to me, I would really appreciate it.🚌🚓
2016 Cornerstone 45B on order
Formerly 2011 & 2013 Anthems

Boy, does that look familiar. It's great to see how they shape up as they go down the line. I think I have 800+ pictures that I have to pare down to a handful for the Family Motor Coaching article.

I have to admit that exterior color scheme on the Cornerstone in the video is beautiful and actually complements the new front and rear ends really well and make ´em much more appealing IMO!
The white in the color scheme matches the white "C" LEDs thus they don't look as out of place as I think they do on darker coaches.
Wow!! 😎

Notice that this thread was started by some character named Beach who didn't like something his inexperienced eye saw. Again, I believe he, like others are set up to do this, probably from a competitor that Entegra has hurt. He hasn't returned to this thread. Just sayin !
