Gone to the Dark Side
No, we didn't move to SOB. However, we no longer have our 'Classic' 2015 Aspire, but a new 2018 Anthem 44A, courtesy of that scoundrel, Tadd Jenkins. Still learning its quirks, and there ARE some, but it's sweet. I've even gotten used to driving in a vehicle that has a front and rear like a space ship. It has the desk option, which we want, so I can continue working when we hit the road. The first photo is the old and the new next to each other.
Guess I better change my signature. BTW, the Aspire is at NIRVC in Phoenix. The one and only all-electric 2015 Aspire - it has an induction cooktop and a 45D Aquahot. Truly one of a kind.

Awesome. We are at NIRVC in Atlanta spending our first night in our new Anthem 44w. I have not driven it yet, but wow, this coach is beautiful. I will post some pics.

Congratulations, I was looking at the 2018, 44A Anthem with the recliners and sofa while we are here at NIRVC Atlanta for service. Very nice floorplan, but for us we still like the Desk option.
Also had a look last night at Buddy 110's 44W. Very open looking through out the interior space especially since it was a bath 1/2. While they have the two sofa's in theirs it is nice to see now that has a Desk option in 2 different floorplans although my guess is that the 44A will not make it into the 2019 model year.
Again, all the best with the new beast.

You can get the desk in the 44/45W even though Entegra doesn't show it as an option. The W is the mirror image of the A. I've had both with the desk option and like the W due to smaller slide being on the passenger side. Makes it easier to get to the passenger side cargo area, which I use 90% of he time.
Also since Entegra refuses to move the outside tv you either wind up with really small drawers in the dinette or the chairs won't sit on the slide when slide is in. I liked the A just like the W better.

I suggest you drive that beauty before signing the dotted line...
all coaches unfortunately are not created equal...
some come off the line great and quiet and smooth as intended ..
some come off the line as a problem child...
you don't want won't of those... jmo
fun stuff for sure...

X2 Mine handled so bad, it was sent back to the factory where it sat at Entegra and Spartan for 3 months. From experience, use everything including the steering wheel before purchasing. The big mistake I made is paying for it, giving the dealer 30 days to fix it before refusing delivery.

Good to see you guys at Phoenix. Beautiful coach, I love the copper-ish paint scheme!

My coach was on display at the Entrgra meetup in Phoenix. Someone had their G6 electric panel die and NIRVC pulled the panel from ours to replace it. The new panel that they put in appears to be wired wrong - a lot of the Vegatouch controls don't work correctly. For example, the controls for the front two slides are reversed - the left control opens the right side and vice-versa. Many of the light switches are wrong - lights come on in the wrong room, some lights can only be controlled with the master, some switches do nothing. Ditto for the shades. The only way that the small shade by the passenger seat can be controlled is to shut the coach off, lower ALL the shades with the master, then raise every other shade individually. Needless to say, they're going to fix all this.

And we won't even mention the fact that someone taking a driving lesson in the coach managed to smash the side on a rock. All repaired now!
