Yeah, that's one of them. I'm also working on a 44C (Cruzer edition).

Let us know when Entegra will release the 44C. I'm sure it would be extra special!!!

The 44Q that you showed, was that an Aspire or an Anthem? I think the Aspire 44 is still not available.

Entegra introduces new floorplans in the Aspire. After that they migrate to the Anthem. The 44U that I saw was in the Aspire but it was the first one so it wasn't yet for sale. They'll be able to be ordered soon I'm sure. The review and road test I did was for FMCA Magazine.

Hey Mark - seems like there are some creative floorplans on the horizon . I asked Tadd point blank what new plans are and he said nothing other than a party bus. Can you advise if there is an Entegra floorplan anything like the one described in my other forum as the Tiffin 45LP , bath and a half, entertainment center, L shape sofa , relaxing chair etc? i'm fine with a computer center at the dinette table/chairs setup

I sure agree with you on this one. Most of the time it is just the two of us ... but when we do have guests we need a decent place to put them. Our 34' Newmar Ventana has a great hide-a-bed sofa with an inflatable air mattress top (queen size). It is great ... but we have recently looked at some of the larger 40' coaches with the L-shaped sofa and it would be really hard to sleep just one adult on it. I really liked the L-shaped sofa, but not the bed part of it.

How about a 44F? This design incorporates the walk-in closet, a bath and a half, lots of room for an 84" sofa bed, U dinette, recliners, or the L shaped expandable couch, plus a computer desk or love seat next to a large galley area. The key is that this is a quad slide design, weith all the structural support that a quad slide offers yet it has the look of a full wall slide once they are opened up. Sort of like having your cake and eating it too.

looks like your having fun now, 1 question in the Q and F, if you dont take the desk where does the tv go or did I miss something?

Cruzer · 11-05-2012, 07:44 PM

There's still the option of afront overhead TV in any floorplan. On the 44Q a mid-ship entertainment center can be located in the pantry. On the 44F you could put it behind the love seat on a power lift mechanism but the 44F is really more like the 42DEQ in that it is pretty much designed around that cornber TV and desk. It's just that the DEQ desk isn't that much ofadesk. It's small and serves as a place for the TV and fireplace but that's about it.

RudyD · 11-06-2012, 11:24 AM

Mark - consider me dense - is the 44F plan you show herein a new live floorplan or a concept? its nearly 100% of what would be on my wishlist and modification list for a cornerstone. I find that some dimensions specifically the L shape sofa needs 96" to work as a sofa sleeper but there is only 84". Robert at Villa has been very helpful with this design. The L shape on the tiffin bus i sat on was very uncomfortable especially the L part which felt like a jumpseat. The winnebago/itasca L shape sofa was alot more comfortable than the Tiffin - but again 96" is the length needed.

Cruzer · 11-06-2012, 11:55 AM

It's a concept I drew up but it is being considered by Entegra engineering at this time. As to how that relates to a "when can I get it" date, I couldn't say. This particular floor plan wasn't built around the 96" L couch. IOt worksbest with the U-dinette or a comfortable 86" couch that makes into a useable guest bed. Frankly, I've never felt very comfortable in them and you don't gain a space because it takes away one space and just reorients it when expanded. Plus you don't need the angle because the TV isn't midship and you can see it just fine from the couch.

KKRONOWITZ · 11-06-2012, 06:37 PM

Wil the Entegra cornerstone dash allow for slide out tray like in the bus? This remind me of my 09 42 qrp without the rear bath. I think the extra foot on the 45' would work.

Well....if you are doing concepts. I like the 44F but I'd really like the desk in the bedroom and the midship TV (because that works so well when you swing the passenger power seat around) without sacrificing the pantry. My theory is that with the storage allowed by the walk-in closet, you can afford to lose a few dresser drawers in the bedroom to make a desk in place of the vanity. I really don't like the TV raising out of the desk because I will frequently be working while DH watches TV - or he will be on the computer while I'm watching. Putting the TV on the desk means one of us is sitting in the middle of the screen the other is trying to watch. Not to mention how distracting it is to have the screen that close to your work space. Having the TV raise from either the desk or behind the loveseat precludes using that passenger lounge....what a waste of a comfortable chair.

Just use the DEQ floorplan on the 44' Anthem or the Cornerstone----one could do alot of neat things with that extra 2 or 3 ft. ----As Gene would say "Just my opinion".

757driver · 11-09-2012, 10:21 AM

I would like Entegra quality and warranty with Tiffin storage. A 44' bath & 1/2 Anthem with a proper dinette ( not a slide away in a cupboard one) midship TV and the rest of what they have now would be great. The DW wants the extra 1/2 bath for company and I like the idea of having a flat floor around the bed.
