Well, that's a first

Whenever I come into the Owners' Corner Forums page at IRV2.com I like to look at the numbers of people viewing the different forums (fora?). Just for fun, of course. Being primarily interested in Entegra and Newmar over the last couple of years (I bought an Entegra) I often compare those two. Typical numbers are 40-50 on the Entegra site and 80-100 on the Newmar page. Over time I've watched the gap narrow. Right now, as I look, there are 70 viewing the Entegra forum and 49 on the Newmar forum. First time I've ever seen the Entegra have more attention. So..... do all those Newmar owners go to sleep early? Are Entegra owners party animals?

I work weird hours and have strange sleep cycle.

I really think Entegra's popularity is on the verge of exploding. Since Tad came back and all the press with more great coaches on the road and in the campgrounds - I think demand will soar. I'm so very pleased with ours, and others say the same. Newmar had almost a lock on the "reasonably priced" luxury market - but no more! IMO nothing, and I mean nothing, would make me sell our Anthem. (Unless someone wants to give me a 2016)!

Anyone know how many units a day Entegra is building??

[Cruzer]

3 per day at this time.

I've noticed those numbers creeping up over the last 6 months as well. And to think that we almost didn't get a dedicated Entegra Owner's Forum until everyone kicked and screamed.

With the ability to do 9 per day. I can see that happening as long as Tad is their.......

[Cruzer]

Actually, looking at existing market trends, 9 per day is probably too many coaches for buyers of 450HP and up coaches. But, either way, its nice to see that they have the facility to handle whatever volume demand will be there. You just know it has to go up. Entegra is a relatively newcomer to the playing field and are already grabbing serious market share and becoming a target for other manufacturers. With what's been happening lately it'll be very interesting to watch those numbers grow.

I have to agree! Entegra has a lot to offer when comparing to other manufactures. I studied all the brands in the price point of the Aspire and nobody could come close for the dollars involved.

With that said though......Entegra will have to keep running fast because the others will be trying to catch up. In a long run, all of us will win when there's strong competition.

[CampDaven]

Without metrics that define the Entegra/Newmar posting differences, conclusions are not possible.
What are the Entegra/Newmar metrics for the number iRV2 members per Owners Forum?
And how many Owner Forum members post almost all issues on the owner forum rather that the associated technical/drive train/chassis (etc) forum. This skews things quite a bit.
So, I guess we may never know.

Could it be that more Entegra owners are having problems than Newmar owners?

Could there be extra EC activity due to the Ribbon Cutting?
EC sure turns up the volume with promo events, so IMHO this shows owner loyalty and a rock star image. This is great showmanship and a grand sales tool.

No Mel in my opinion that is not the issue.

You might be guessing right.
