If it really bothers you - I'll bet you have a spare emblem in your big black box o'stuff containing all of the documentation & Spartan wrench.

I can attest...nowabeachbum is all of what Stu says and more! I think sarcasm and tongue in cheek are also in his arsenal. A great guy, man among men, Entegra enthusiast, a/c specialist, baseplate installer, auto fuse aficionado, are all apt descriptions. See you tomorrow at Grizzly in Yellowstone , Gary.

It just happened yesterday Bob. Don't recall a spare in the big black box. I'm going to try and buff it out later. If that fails, I see the 2016's don't have them at all

You might want to go back and check the history of my delivery. My Entegra was sent back to the factory on a refused delivery, spent the next 6 month in and out of shops waiting to get a "quite ride" rear end. Not everybody has been as lucky as you have with deliveries and a problem free coach. Those that have been on the forum for awhile know the history of my coach and the number of problems it has had....just a fact.

As for quite ride, I still can't find the wind noise on my coach and I have spent many, many hours trying to locate it. Check those posts out as well, including foaming in the steps where air was blowing into the coach.

I asked others for assistance to hopefully help locate the problem easier, and I want to thank them for their assistance.

Nowbeachbum, I sincerely apologize to you and everyone I offended. I didn't realize you had these problems. We too have issues with our 14 Aspire but nothing like yours it seems. Hope you all forgive me.

That was meant for Brobox too.

Thanks Stew and Corey

For those that don't know(and I didn't realize that there was anyone!), Chuck's "quietest riding, best handling coach" has unfortunately become the unofficial "poster coach" for what can go wrong when a good company takes their eye off the preverbial quality control ball.
I was simply acknowledging that Chuck has gotten way more than his share of "new coach issues" and that's unfortunate because he deserves better! To Entegras credit, they have improved their processes to prevent many of the things that Chuck experienced. They have also, so far, been committed to getting Chuck's coach to where it should have been in the first place.
Perhaps those of you that have newer trouble free coaches, should buy Chuck a beer to acknowledge his sacrifice helping Entegra build a more trouble free coach.

On my surge tank where the bull of the tee goes in the weld cracked where the thread-o-let was welded to the tank. I had to reweld it

I totally agree. This very public dropping of the ball has resulted in a really fine coach. If Entegra keeps moving in this direction, they truly might get a reputation unlike any other in the industry. It's a crying shame how the customer gets treated in most of the RV industry.

If I ever meet Chuck in person, I'd definitely buy him the drink of his choice.

Nice weld!

A properly set-up engine doesn't "use" coolant. It's a closed system that only needs to be emptied and refilled at the correct service intervals. If it's "losing" coolant, then there's a leak someplace. The more complicated the system, the more difficult it would be to find.

Same thing happened to ours. I used some plastic polish on it and improved the appearance quite a bit.
