Going from a 2013 Tour to a Cornerstone Entegra
OK folks ... should be trade our 2013 Winnebago Tour 42QD to an Entegra Cornerstone. Would we be happier?
Love the floorplan of the QD but not happy with some of the quality coming out of Forest City on the Tour.
Thoughts?

If the floorplan on the CornerStone is something you like i think you will defiantly be happy. Happier? Only you can answer that one. We are getting a cornerstone also in a few months. Our first MH and last hopefully. From what i hear and know first hand...Entegra customer service cant be beat.. Either can their coaches from what i have found touring every brand out there. I perfer Entegra over Newmar or any other brand in our price range (up to 500k) just my opinion based on my research and hands on in the coaches. Keep us posted👍

Nothing against the Tour but, you will be VERY happy with the Cornerstone. Once you drive that Spartan K3 chassis with the 600 hp you will be in love. We have had ours for 4 months now and could not be happier

Started with a 2013 Anthem. Upgraded a month ago to a 15 CS 45J...very pleased. As usual, working through a few minors, but pleased with quality and very happy with ride. Really like the new light cherry interior.

X2 the above. Moved to the Cornerstone 6 weeks ago from a Newmar. The K3 and big red Cummins makes me smile. My wife is a red head, now I have 2 red heads. I guaranty you will have issues, but Entegra is easy to work with and this forum is very helpful.

The Cornerstone is a magnificent coach to drive and live in, it has everything you need . I purchased my first and only motor home, a Cornerstone, a few years ago from a private owner not knowing much about RVs. I could not be happier. As a second owner I wasn't sure how I would be treated by the factory. Their CS to me has been outstanding. I can't say enough good things about Jacob, PJ, Don, Joyce etc.

Having no camping or RV experience, we purchased a 2014 Aspire 44B this past July and we love it. We're already talking about upgrading to the Cornerstone in a couple years. We sold the stick and bricks and are enjoying the fulltimer lifestyle with no regrets. While we are still working some kinks out of the coach, we have nothing but great service from the Entegra team. Best wishes and happy travels.

We were sold on an Anthem. Then Dw found cornerstone when I wasn't looking😢cya Anthem ...she's stubborn. I was thinking I would not need the xtra horse
Power but since I don't plan to upgrade it will be nice to have it when needed. CornerStone is simply beautiful and no other coach , from Newmar, Tiffen , or American Coach has been able to sway us away from Entegra.
a simple read of the available forums will tell you every brand will have problems. I'd rather have 2+ years to work them out. Sob brand owners can try to get help for free after warranty period runs out but the odds would do better. To play the lotto and fix it that way. Lots of hard evidence out there that Entegra may not pay up front for out of warranty work but they often do and always seem to meet in the middle.. No customer is left out in the cold it would seem. I only base this opinion on what I read..
Purchasing a Cornerstone is a win/win for me.. Dw is happy and I'm happy the best manufacturer (IMHO) is going to back me up

I watched Extreme RVs last night featuring the Grand Tour. Huge disappointment, the interior fabrics gave me a migraine tgen noted Maxxum chassis. Not in same league as Anthem or CS except for price.

We went from a '08 40' Tour to a Anthem, and lost about a third of our storage space. Other than that we love it!

We had the same experience when we upgraded from the Travel Supreme to the Entegra. After loading the Entegra, we found the storage space we lost was for "stuff" we forgot we even had and had been hauling it around for 10 years. We are actually glad it's gone. We love the features of the Entegra much better than a place for the "stuff". I also lost a basement compartment because of the DEF system, and surprising, don't even miss that. I still have room for trip specific items such as a blow up boat or my metal detecting equipment.
