Looking at Entegra Aspire
I've been looking into buying a new used RV and have it narrowed done to around a 2013 Entegra Aspire 42DEQ or similar. This will be my 6th RV. At this point I'm looking for it to be my last I hope. The DW and I know what we want in a layout and are looking for any advice you would have. Thanks

We own a 2014 Aspire DEQ, the wife and I both love this coach it's our 3rd RV and by far the best. You go go wrong buying a Entegra Coach.

We went from a '13 Thor Challenger 37GT to our '14 Anthem. We had the Thor for 5 months/9,200 miles and enjoyed it but just a couple miles in the Entegra told us we made the right move.
You will love your Entegra!

Our 13 Aspire was great. It was our first last Entegra. Our third last Entegra is on order.

We've only had 3 RVs, and thoroughly enjoy our Entegra. Things haven't always been roses, but Entegra and Spartan have been great to deal with.
We are extremely happy with our choice.

FWIW the 17-18 Insignia is essentially the same coach. Compare prices between the two. You might find that you can get a new Insignia for the price of a used Aspire.

Another option you might want to explore in that year group is the Winnebago 40U.

I went from at 13 Thor Challenger 37DT to the 13 Aspire. Got tired of the noise real quick from the slides and the engine, and all the downshifting. (had the 5 Star tune also)
Entegra Aspire 42 RBQ, we Love it. If the layout is what you want, you will be so happy.

You will love Entegra. We have a 2013 Anthem with 46,000 miles so far. Runs like a champ. Best coach we ever had. Entegra customer service is fantastic even 4 years after we bought the coach.

I'm sure there's some good deals on the Aspires that have been gently used. We bought our 15 new but after experiencing the customer service at Entegra, I wouldn't hesitate buying a used unit.
The pre-17 models do have LP Aqua Hot like mine which has both good and bad. My LP usage is about $300-$400 per year and having a diesel unit would be easier. However I don't have the maintenance (I've been told around $300 each year),mess or smell.
Regardless of the year or model you buy, I don't think you can go wrong with Entegra. A lot of value for the money and although no RV is perfect, the company tries to help.

Love our 16 Aspire and the 44B works for us well. As already stated, some warts yes but what a fantastic company to help you sort it out. Suggest you call Tony Morse at NIRVC in Atlanta, can't imagine there being a better dealer anywhere in the East and would bet you can negotiate a great deal new or used.

Thanks for all the advice. It's good to hear from actual owners and to be assured that entegra is the right brand for us. I will post when we find the right coach for us. Again thanks
